My go-to vulnerability scanner

  • April 22, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus has a lot of configuration options that help you identify vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently
This tool is modified on a regular basis to include new CVEs and features. Many features appeal to me, but they are not limited to the following:
scheduled scans, high-speed asset discovery, configuration auditing, target profiling, malware detection, sensitive data discovery, vulnerability analysis etc
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't had any issues with the Nessus tool so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I appreciate how nessus upgrades their thread db; they are constantly looking to provide consumers with the most recent threats; however, further email alerts about current threats would be preferable
