"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is real-time monitoring."
"User friendly and good dashboards."
"Security is the key number because it can start to scan with a few clicks instead of credits, which is a bit complicated. So simplicity is the first advantage. Then the generated reports are well done and easy to present to management. The quality of the scan is quite good in detecting the severity. The solution has simplicity. Also, it has frequent updates so that is also a valuable feature."
"I have found the vulnerability assessment and the reports to be useful."
"It's scalable."
"We looked at Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7. We found Tenable was the best of all three."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"Consumes more system resources when it's running."
"From my point of view the solution basically is not for the big enterprise."
"Pricing is one of the most important features, and it is something that they can improve on."
"One significant drawback we encounter is the tool's tendency to flag patched packages incorrectly. For instance, if a package is patched by Debian maintainers but not updated to a major or minor version, Nessus may still flag it as vulnerable based on its database. This discrepancy leads to false alarms and requires our developers, system admins, and DevOps teams to address them."
"Multiple steps to create an actionable plan will be a great addition to Nessus."
"The reporting is a bit cumbersome."
"Tenable Nessus application device assessment is one of the top tools. However, in the application security assessment, there are other tools that provide better, and more accurate findings."
"There could be an integration between Tenable Nessus and other Tenable products. It will help us manage all the solutions using one dashboard."
