Amazing Vulnerability Scanner

  • July 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lo mejor que tiene nessus es la facilidad que tiene para ser lanzado y entendido. También es importante el uso que se le da, y la categorización de las vulnerabilidades.
What do you dislike about the product?
El precio de la versión PRO es demasiado elevado para ser simplemente un scanner de vulnerabilidades. También los reportes automaticos deberían mejorar. Y por supuesto, los falsos positivos deberían ser controlados.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Para cualquier trabajo dedicado a la gestión de vulnerabilidades es importante tener nessus presente. Te ayuda a tener una idea más rápida de la superficie de ataque.

Nessus Review for Server Vulnerabilities and Device Baselines

  • June 14, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus has provided a lot of help in determining new and current Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits (CVE) to both on-prem and cloud-based servers. It boosted the security posture of these in-scope IT assets and helped in updating the versions of the apps and platforms in it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much. Report types may be improved and contents can be consolidated better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Baselining the network, platforms, and hardware devices ensures that we are following the best practices. Nessus helps us achieve it through one of its features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus is like a de-facto standard for your vulnerability scanning needs. Allocate time to know the features so you can maximize them.

It is not straight forward when it comes to ignoring certain IPs in a CIDR range.

Over 15 years experience with Tenable Nessus

  • June 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that the Nessus product tells you if the discovered vulnerability is exploitable, and if so by what tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the reporting tool was more robust. As it stands, now I export the Nessus scan database and use a Perl script to parse the data into a custom CSV file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tenable cuts down the time it takes to evaluate a network for vulnerability and potential attack paths
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus Professional is great for consulting as they do not charge by IP Address like with their IO product.

Nessus is one of the mandatory tools for security assessments of all types

  • June 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is a quick and easy way to find known vulnerabilities in platforms. It is also excellent for spot-checking for specific vulnerabilities, such as Log4J, MSDT, etc. The audit capability is also excellent, allowing for configuration checks and compliance checks to be accomplished.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coverage of databases, web applications and IoT could be stronger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus provides insight into vulnerabilities and version information across the enterprise. There are also numerous useful informational items, such as administrative user lits, lists fo running processes, attached devices, etc. that make determining the security posture of a device easier. These same checks can also be useful in incident response.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus should be part of any standard security toolkit.
