Nessus - Easy to use vulnerability scanner
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.
