Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The solution is very easy to use."
"I find the features that are most valuable are the policies that help us identify the vulnerabilities. These policies are then used for scanning instabilities and then identifying the particular vulnerabilities."
"Out of the box, the product works well for us, so it's not a tool that we need to customize very much."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"Ease of reviewing scores, identifying vulnerabilities, and getting information on them."
"Nessus is effortless to integrate."
"Quick assessments, compliance scores, and results are provided without having to do agents."
"I have experience with it on my attack stations, and it's pretty good to optimize. Personally, I think Nessus is quite a good product."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"I think the reporting templates could be improved with Tenable Nessus."
"Tenable Nessus is not feasible for a large company."
"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."
"Online learning could be a bit better."
"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."
"The features are limited when it comes to scanning network devices for vulnerabilities."
"They should improve the I/O reporting and the customized spreadsheet export feature."
"It would be a good idea if they have a simulation of attacks or a use case for finding a new vulnerability or dealing with a zero-day attack."
