Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user friendly. A beginner could use it."
"It also has an executive report where you don't have to provide the client all the detail for them to sift though. But if they wish to dig through the detail they can."
"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 plug-in text information is quite useful."
"It allows me to prioritize efforts and utilize effective technical resources."
"Tenable Nessus is cheap and flexible."
"Tenable Nessus streamlines the process of scanning for our organization."
"The reports are pretty nice and easy to understand."
"Nessus is good at finding out what nodes you have in place. It will then provide you a report, by node, of what the vulnerabilities are. It does it quickly and stealthfully."
"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."
"Consumes more system resources when it's running."
"The reporting is a bit cumbersome."
"Tenable Nessus could improve the price."
"The inventory management function in this solution needs improvement."
"We'd like to see the solution embrace more user-friendliness."
"We have had some false positives in the past, which we hope can improve in the future."
"Vulnerability recommendations are outdated and not in line with industry standards."
"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."
