Great tool for testing vulnerabilities
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the way it look for vulnerabilities into the iT environment and helps for the need of quick vulnerability assessment in the different devices and assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
It have no good integration with iot assets, and sometimes it gives a lot of information about vulnerabilities not explotables, so there is not useful information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the need for running manual scans and test between the different IT assets during vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and we only focus in results given by Nessus.

Nessus Professional makes my job easier
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus takes the guesswork out of finding out what needs to be addressed and helps you determine what's most critical in your environment. The process of finding vulnerabilities is simple and intuitive and it constantly keeps up with newly discovered vulnerabilities that arise and helps you detect them in your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything about Nessus Professional that I don't like. In three years of using Nessus Professional, we've not had any issues with the scan results in our environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we used Nessus Professional, we used several tools to determine potential vulnerabilities in our environment. However, they had inconsistent reporting and didn't keep up with newly released vulnerabilities. Now we have one tool that can scan for vulnerabilities and even check that we're compliant with best practices.
Great too for vulnerability discovering
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great tool for discovering vulnerabilities and grouping them for IT infrastructure and getting all information about it, remediations and way for explotation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if we could get all vulnerabilities that have a real impact on all the infrastructure, it would be very helpful to reduce false positive results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to reduce the time we take by working on pen testing and vulnerability assessments. We take great advantage of it because it is work we often do manually
Nessus Vulnerability Scanner Review
What do you like best about the product?
The scanners are very easy to manage. The tool is very user friendly. The vulnerability detection prefers false positives other than false negatives which helps us with the better security posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The asset group information is hard to manage and download. This makes it harder to manage the zones or tags of assets.
The analysis feature will only provide us with one scan information after the scan is selected. Cannot go back to the cumulative update.

Experience with Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
It helps reporting missing critical patches that can cause security flaws. It helps security analyst to find out vulnerabilities and gives solutions, criticality score and where that vulnerabilitiy exist.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scan plugins are not customisable and it is difficult for the teams to write new/adapted plugins to detect or scan for vulnerabilities the product doesn't cover. When we get the report from Nessus most of the vulnerabilities are false positive and we need to re-verify them manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus is the finest tool for vulnerabilitiy scans, in fact it provides discoveres and more importantly correct findings, because it is focused on scanning the system's and application and it doesn't perform pentration testing or exploit vulnerabilities with thousands of pulgins updated on a regular basis.
