"The stability is very good."
"The vulnerability scanner is the most valuable feature."
"A valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to understand."
"I have found the vulnerability assessment and the reports to be useful."
"The initial setup of Tenable Nessus is very easy."
"I like its ease of use. It has the script that is pre-built in it, and you just got to know which ones you're looking for."
"Once you get past the initial implementation, the solution is very stable."
"I find the features that are most valuable are the policies that help us identify the vulnerabilities. These policies are then used for scanning instabilities and then identifying the particular vulnerabilities."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"The reports should be improved in Tenable Nessus. For example, when you are auditing compliance with CIS standards. It provides very poor reports."
"Tenable Nessus could improve by having more steady updates which will reduce the vulnerabilities."
"To be honest, I haven't used it much to tell you that these are the things that should be improved. But I believe the UI should be enhanced somewhat. For example, there are two ways to find a report, and people are frequently confused as to which is the correct method for locating a full report. Sometimes they go in the opposite direction, so this is an area that may be improved."
"There should be a possibility to install agents on scanned machines. Tenable IO provides the capability of using local agents to check local problems, but this feature is not there in Tenable Nessus Professional. It would be nice to have something similar in Tenable Nessus Professional. We should have the capability to use local agents installed on the machines to locally check a problem."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"It would be a good idea if they have a simulation of attacks or a use case for finding a new vulnerability or dealing with a zero-day attack."
"The price could be reduced."
"We have had some false positives in the past, which we hope can improve in the future."
