Nessus is a great tool for our security department
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus has really helped our newly formed security department hit the ground running by identifying and pinpointing specific vulnerabilities on our network for remediation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of false positives, including untrusted CAs. The remediations/solutions provided for each vulnerability could also be more specific.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to upgrade outdated OSs, identify and install missing server patches, and show progress on vulnerability management from week to week.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to not only scan on a regular basis, but also check the scans thoroughly and learn each vulnerability in order to get a better idea how to remediate the risk, accept it, or determine if it is a false positive.
Really like the technology and capability, but disappointed by feature limitations
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus has always been the most well-rounded vulnerability scanning solution. It does a better job across various OS, application, etc. platforms where other scanners often fall short.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tenable has crippled Nessus Professional by disallowing scans to be configured/managed via API, and restricting the ability to create multiple users. As a professional services firm, these capabilities have made the use of Nessus Pro more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying vulnerabilities.
Comprehensive and customizeable
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive scanning and ability to see the exposed vulnerability and the corresponding remediation - also the single remediation suggestion that would get the most value that
What do you dislike about the product?
Loss of the API from previous version - we could get powershell scripts to obtain specific report results
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Patch management confirmations and exceptions - the ability to identify what hosts are being excepted out of patch management has been able to allow us to perform a more accurate risk assessment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For performing the PCI assessment, this product made the checking of our hosts and that of the hosting provider's equipment so easy. Remember to VERIFY all of the hosts in the environment first, verify they are alive, use nessus to check for "undocumented hosts", and then run the vuln scanner. Always use creds to check the hosts for completeness.
Powerful but easy to use

We're trying to solve some of the shortcomings of Qualys. ie. better vulnerability detection.
