Poorna's Nessus Review

  • March 30, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is one of the best tools in vulnerability assessment technology. It is effortless and very effective in identifying any CVEs present in the servers. Practically effective in identifying the lack of security patches.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some issues with Nessus in the report-making process, and mostly FP cases pop up, which must be lowered.
Sometimes asset grouping is formidable. And the pricing may not suit everyone.

Apart from these, it has no significant flaws.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus is helping us with the Security posture Analysis and Vulnerability assessment.
The Vulnerability life cycle is very much productive, and we have been in an updated environment.
