Nessus Pro Review
What do you like best about the product?
Name recognition and it is relatively inexpensive when comparing to other products. It does a fine job and is relatively easy to setup and use. Additionally, technical support is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting. There is a lack of good reporting. The account team is too passive. Not sure the roadmap of the company. The account team never proactively brings to our attention of new products, features and lineups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To determine vulnerability malware analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Reporting is very important to us. However, the can reports in Nessus are not sufficient. It is difficult to generate custom reports for various department needs. I have dealt with their technical support team a lot and they are great. Their sales team, on the other hand, is a bit passive. Did not have quarterly review or annual review.
The industry standard for vulnerability scanning
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to configure most scans. Software upgrades are very smooth and easy, probably my favorite software to upgrade because of the lack of issues or hassle. In my experience, most companies use it so its a familiar tool no matter where I work. I like that it is a reliable product with a plethora of valuable data that can be used to increase an organizations security posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some false positives. Wish it was easier to search specific vulnerabilities and aggregate or sort results data. Would like the ability make notes in the software.

A wonderful resource for assessing an organizations security posture. We have relied upon Nessus scan results numerous times to identify vulnerable systems when a new significant exploit has been announced.

Nessus Manager is not good for larger teams needing to manage scan definitions. It is also needs significant customization for doing compliance scans.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it primarily to uncover problems with our patch management processes.
