Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"The product is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The vulnerability scanner is the most valuable feature."
"Easy to set up vulnerability scanner with good stability and a responsive technical support team."
"It gives you an unlimited IP scan."
"It's scalable."
"Tenable Nessus streamlines the process of scanning for our organization."
"It gives a holistic view of your entire environment."
"Tenable Nessus is an absolutely stable and fantastic product."
"We looked at Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7. We found Tenable was the best of all three."
"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"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."
"I would like to see more on the automation side."
"The reports are okay, but the interface is a bit difficult to navigate in some cases."
"It would be better if they had application-level support for mobile devices. They don't have anything to scan mobile devices. Tenable Nessus doesn't have a mobile application vulnerability assessment. I also have issues with the false positive rates. The product has limited features."
"The interface is a little bit clunky, and the reporting is not marvelous. There should be better integration of reporting between instances. Currently, the instance stands alone, and it produces a report. Being able to amalgamate those reports with another instance will be useful."
"Lacks some penetration testing-related services."
"We would like to have the option of using the solution for the cloud as well as on-premises with the same license at the same time. That would be very helpful."
"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."
