Nessus Professional - Good Value & Great Product
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.

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.

A total game changer-Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
Multi-tasking: Nessus employs efficient memory usage to implement multitasking.
Credentialed Scanning: Executing a credentialed Nessus Scan allows you to get a deeper depth of information about your target. Constantly being updated. One of the few Vulnerability scanners with more than expected features and support for the community version.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus Pro restricted to just a single client makes it scarcely moderate for medium scale organizations. The characterization (high, medium, low, and so forth) are based on the finding and not your current circumstance. A high might be low for your situation and the other way around. Like many tools, even Nessus does have its own limitations and is not necessary that it may find all the vulnerabilities associated with the target provided. Ordinarily, the enhancements are not refreshed in an opportune way and this damages much more with the bogus positives produced
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Booking Report Quality Speed Ease of establishment. Automated tasks help to complete a VAPT and a pentesting project much faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus is a great vulnerability scanner tool, but if you are looking for something in specific to scan, such as a webapp, you should rather go for a web-app scanner.
Much Needed For Most of my Recon

Its Fast Response and Accuracy is my goto for my Recon methodologies
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it Gives false results which lead to waste of my Time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing my Recon For my Vulnerability assessment
Nessus Vulnerability Scanning Review
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus Scanning covers almost all the vulnerabilities related to 3rd Party APPs, OS Level vulnerabilities, Container vulnerabilities, MisConfiguration and related issues, etc. I like it being a one stop solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of concerns with Nessus Agents. Like, it will require Nessus Relinking, once the agent stops to report to Nessus Manager, Tagging concerns for ephemeral environments where servers are coming up and downs, etc. Its highly recommended for static environments but messy for ephemeral/dynamic environments. Always requires some sort of scripting automation to relink, untag and tag again. Some instances (5-10%) show concerns when Nessus Agents are auth(n) fine but still Nessus Manager fails to recognize the same. These issues need to be raised to Nessus Engineering teams to provided a tool which can check back and forth for Nessus Connections and do the same stuff for us, should not just be an overhead for the customer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems mostly related to vuln scans. No other Security Vuln. scanner is close to Nessus. Tried some opensource solutions and cloud solutions as well, but no comparison to Nessus.
User friendly, Simple yet powerful scanner for Network Scans
What do you like best about the product?
Feasibility of Configuration - very simple UI to configure vulnerability Scan
Compliance scan files - provides exhaustive list of default audit files for compliance checks. Also has option for uploading custom audit files.
Vulnerability Reports - Reports provide detailed yet specific information on issues. Executive summary option is very helpful
