Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."Takes reports from other vulnerabilities."
"It gives a holistic view of your entire environment."
"The reports are pretty nice and easy to understand."
"The most valuable features are that it's fast, it's easy to use and it provides good reports."
"The trial version is very good for testing whether it will suit your needs."
"My favorite part about Nessus is that you can customize the tool to scan exactly what you want. Microsoft releases new patches monthly on Patch Tuesday, and a lot of companies track that date. I set up Nessus for the day after Patch Tuesday to see which devices have already pushed those updates from Microsoft, so we can stay updated."
"The solution can scale well."
"Tenable Nessus has a good performance, is very user-friendly, and is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is how it scanned and detected through its database to let us know exactly what fixes we needed to put in place for the vulnerabilities. It detects and it also gives you the way to fix it."
"No third-party applications or integrations with additional software solutions."
"It wasn't very clear how the scripts are running the scans. There's information about the script but it's not straightforward. The script information for each of the plugins should be available, but it doesn't give us straightforward direct information about how it was executed. That needs to be more clear."
"We'd like to see the solution embrace more user-friendliness."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with different vendors' IPS solutions. The ACLs and IPS policies signatures should be enabled based on the results of Tenable Nessus automatically, we currently have to do it manually which is very time-consuming. It has done a good job integrating with Fortinet but we would like it to be better integrated with other solutions that we have."
"We have had some false positives in the past, which we hope can improve in the future."
"There should be a possibility to install agents on scanned machines. Tenable IO provides the capability of using local agents to check local problems, but this feature is not there in Tenable Nessus Professional. It would be nice to have something similar in Tenable Nessus Professional. We should have the capability to use local agents installed on the machines to locally check a problem."
"We use credentialed scans. They need more permissions and more changes or settings on Windows and Linux."
"We feel the solution's technical support to be very bad."
