Better than most
What do you like best about the product?
I like the plugin feed, it is very robust. I also like the ability to upload compliance audit files directly from Tenable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't feel like the scanners do a great job of compliance checks, I prefer to use ePO instead of the Nessus scanner to obtain the credential data I need. Could be operator error though ;)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently resolving FISMA scorecards with the use of our scanner as well as web testing certain applications that are coming into our environment
Good overall product with room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus includes some good functionality to enable integration with a larger suite of vulnerability management systems and help facilitate some light automation. The performance is generally consistent and the interface is intuitive and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The plugins are not always updated in a timely fashion, which results in unnecessary false positives and time spent researching and documenting. The API functionality is tied to a Tenable.io subscription, limiting automation and integration to the more expensive subscription model, and the accompanying analytics are superficial and don't tie to good key risk indicators.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a consultant, I'm helping my clients assess where they may have shortfalls in their vulnerability management, patch management, and system hardening programs. The overall ease of use and ability to deploy remote virtual systems allows us to work with clients without being on site the entire time, improving our efficiency and controlling costs.
