Nessus Professional - Good Value & Great Product

  • April 26, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unlimited scans of IP addresses, easy customization of scans, detailed descriptions, and references of findings. Multiple pre-built templates. Scans just about anything to identify a security weakness.
What do you dislike about the product?
Authenticated scans aren't the easiest to execute. Configuration review feature provides numerous false positives. Unable to perform business logic tests. Unable to open IP address of host directly from Nessus. Web App scans are not the most robust, a dedicated DAST tool is more value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security Advisory services for my clients and internally. Nessus provides insight into weaknesses within the IT environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a leader in its field compared to other vulnerability scanners, it is also easy to use and setup.
