What do you like best about the product?
I like most that the recommendation/Solution present in the Nessus scan report. if it is not present, we need to troubleshoot things very deeply that can delay in Timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel when the disk Space got full where we installed Nessus, We must get any message/notification. It happens once with me and not able to figure out what actually happens why reports are generated blank, but later we figured out this and deleted old reports.

A Great tool for improvising Security on all levels

  • July 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The tool results are descriptive and sufficient for understanding the Vulnerabilities, the reference and mitigation recommendations provided for each Vulnerabilities is really helpful in solving bigger issues. We can perform vulnerability assessment on almost any network device or different server platforms like windows, linux l, unix or Mac based systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool configuration is a bit of experts game, once you are familiar with each configuration for different devices it'll be adaptable but sometimes we get huge road blocks to complete a credentialed checks especially in configuring servers of windows based system, also the reports produce some false positive Vulnerabilities that is one troublesome thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used nessus pro for our company for finding loopholes in our network system and testing servers for application related fixes and missing critical patches was easy for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus is one of the best tool for vulnerability scanning and reporting, it contains so many options of scanning for almost all network devices and kinds of servers with continually updating its database.
