"The is a free version of Tenable Nessus available."
"The solution has a single price for unlimited assets."

"I think the price is fairly affordable. It provides a license that is fair."
"The newer tools are quite pricey. There is a case of some fine tuning that can be done in terms of licensing. The IP based licensing that is offered makes the tool very expensive. If they want the IT industry to adopt it, the price should be looked at."
"Cost-wise, it's an affordable tool."
