Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies 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."
"The results are not that bad, but the key selling point is that it is an affordable tool set."
"The solution is easy to understand for users because instructions are included on the platform."
"We have done code scanning for a long period because as a company, we do DevOps as part of our development life cycle."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is the self-updating engine."
"Tenable Nessus is cheap and flexible."
"The product's most valuable features are vulnerability and asset management. It can define the rules and validate the configuration."
"It gives you an unlimited IP scan."
"The vulnerability scanner is the most valuable feature."
"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"To be honest, I haven't used it much to tell you that these are the things that should be improved. But I believe the UI should be enhanced somewhat. For example, there are two ways to find a report, and people are frequently confused as to which is the correct method for locating a full report. Sometimes they go in the opposite direction, so this is an area that may be improved."
"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."
"There should be a possibility to install agents on scanned machines. Tenable IO provides the capability of using local agents to check local problems, but this feature is not there in Tenable Nessus Professional. It would be nice to have something similar in Tenable Nessus Professional. We should have the capability to use local agents installed on the machines to locally check a problem."
"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."
