"Scanners and reports using CIS templates ("de-facto" standard, easy to fix and to locate correction tips at documentation), tests against cloud providers, database profiles, several types of telecom devices, and others highly customizable scans."
"The reports are pretty nice and easy to understand."
"Nessus' most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it helps to discover vulnerabilities proactively and integrates with patch management solutions so you can push patches."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Overall Zoom is a good solution."
"The most valuable feature is the breadth of vulnerabilities that it finds. It's able to find across a lot of different platforms and operating systems. It's also able to combine local testing with network-based testing."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is the GUI and user-friendliness. Additionally, the environment is easy to work with."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"It would be nice for the professional module to include some of the reports available in the expert module."
"The price could be reduced."
"The features are limited when it comes to scanning network devices for vulnerabilities."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"I think the reporting templates could be improved with Tenable Nessus."
"Multiple user access would be an area for improvement from a user-access perspective. A role-based access control feature would be great because at present, there is a limitation with only one account. If that account gets compromised or gets locked, then we will encounter problems."
"The reporting could be improved. The reporting in Rapid7 is much better."
"This is still a maturing product. Tenable is only a scanner for one ability, while other solutions like Rapid7 have more tools for verification. We still have to manually verify to see if the vulnerability is a false positive or not."
