Nessus - Easy to use vulnerability scanner

  • August 18, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and setup of the application. It has built in updates to track the latest CVV's and is always up to date.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be helpful to disable / ignore certain things that are found.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving internal vulnerability scanning. We can self identify exploits that need to be remediated. The scan findings are easy enough to know what needs to be done to fix the vulnerability. We are able to do that inhouse and not have a 3rd party company access to our internal network.

Asombroso Escáner de Vulnerabilidades

  • July 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Nessus is the ease with which it can be launched and understood. The use it is given and the categorization of vulnerabilities are also important.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price of the PRO version is too high to be just a vulnerability scanner. Also, the automatic reports should improve. And of course, the false positives should be controlled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For any work dedicated to vulnerability management, it is important to have Nessus present. It helps you get a quicker idea of the attack surface.
