"Nessus at Providence College"
What do you like best? Nessus Professional has a very easy-to-use interface and requires little technical expertise to operate. Scan scopes are easy to define and results are searchable and exportable. What do you dislike? Nessus generates a large amount of false positives, particularly on Linux systems for applications like Apache, Tomcat, etc. It generally only reads the banners, and even if you run an authenticated scan, it often times does not detect patches that are backported by the ...

"Tenable - Still a Leader"
What do you like best? The forward thinking vision and ease of use and customization What do you dislike? 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. 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 ...

"Nessus helps keep us secure!"
What do you like best? Nessus just works! I am able to create scheduled credentialed jobs and add my hosts. I know the job will always run and always produce the needed results. This helps me stay on top of our organizational risks. What do you dislike? We tend to lean towards open source software whenever possible. I still wish Nessus was open source, but the current pricing model isn't too bad. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Our risk ...

"Powerful and comprehensive vulnerability scanner"
What do you like best? I enjoy the thoroughness of Nessus and the ability to customize scanned plugin definitions. What do you dislike? It's not always the easiest to find particular settings within Nessus. Not impossible, but you have to dig a little. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Nessus has assisted us with remaining PCI compliant for 9 years straight, and helps us catch vulnerabilities that we would otherwise never have seen.
