Leading web as well as mob applications weakness finding platform.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the techniques used most widely for evaluating weakness. Scanning web applications, DB servers, network devices such as switches , routers, firewalls, and proxy servers is very efficient, which allows each system to operate one only for scanning vulnerabilities and incomplete patch reports.I can build scheduled credential jobs and have my hosts added. I know the work always runs and always produces the results that are needed. That helps me keep up with our organizational risks
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't noticed any dissatisfaction until now but the important thing is the cost where the cost is higher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think even for a beginner, Nessus 's quick to know. I use Nessus to find and evaluate vulnerabilities. It includes a comprehensive report and mitigation suggestions. My work with the Nessus was quick, and it delivers accurate results most of the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this software to all Professionals in Information Security.

Nessus is one of the greatest vulnerability scanners on the platform, it has so many capabilities for security scans for web apps, network scans, enforcement scans and external security assessments that it has a high vulnerability detection rate and is ideal for security testers to identify vulnerabilities so quickly.One of the techniques used most widely for evaluating vulnerability. Scanning application servers, DB servers, network devices such as switches , routers, firewalls, and proxy servers is very powerful, which enables each system to run one only for scanning vulnerabilities and incomplete patch reports.i like this product because of the functionality and the high performance.

What do you like best about the product?
Computer upgrades are really simple and easy, likely due to the extreme shortage of problems or inconvenience my favorite software upgrade to. Most organizations use that in my experience and it's a standard technique no matter wherever I work. I feel it's a valid method with a wealth of useful information that can be used to improve the security environment of an organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus price is just too much given different market software. Nessus is susceptible to the development of false positives and therefore the testers need to put more effort and time into this.But I haven't noticed any dislike until now but the main thing is it's the cost. Where this product is to be purchased for all users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Nessus to check public and external and public measurements of risk and system compliance reports.

Nessus Pro Review

  • November 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus really makes it easy to see problem areas in your environment. You can quickly allocate resources to mitigate those areas where critical vulnerabilities exist. Being able to schedule scans and having the reports emailed to you creates an automated workflow without ever logging in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Functionality is awesome. I would like to be able to change my theme. I really like the darker themes because it's easier on the eyes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have visibility of vulnerabilities across our environment. We're able to measure the effectiveness of our patch deployments. Another benefit is that we can detect new vulnerabilities when Nessus updates the plugins.

Tenable - Still a Leader

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The forward thinking vision and ease of use and customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of migration plan for SC > IO for customers requiring an on-premise solution. IO is a vast improvement, but on-prem deployment limits options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
vulnerability scanning and configuration drift. By ingesting Tenable data into the Fortress VRM workflow and analytics platform along with other data sources, we are able to achieve excellent visibility and prioritization to actually reduce risk for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No need to look further, for vuln scanning and configuration compliance monitoring,Tenable has you covered. For remediation workflow, ingestion of other non-tenable data sources and advanced analytics we recommend looking at products like Fortress VRM

Not many dislikes. Again, very user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to ensure that our network is free from vulnerabilities gives us the assurance that our data is protected.
