Useful for vulnerability management with many integrations
We use RiskSense for vulnerability management, and we have many integrations.  The solution is deployed on cloud. We use this solution daily. There are more than 200 people using this solution in my organization Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user…

Provided increased visibility across the organization's servers
The user interface of Tenable Nessus feels outdated and could be more user-friendly. Additionally, the documentation is not well-organized, which can be confusing when searching for solutions or specific information related to Tenable Nessus Professional. The reporting feature could be improved by allowing users to create their own templates instead of relying on predefined ones.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user friendly. A beginner could use it."
"It allows me to prioritize efforts and utilize effective technical resources."
"The features I personally like include host discovery."
"The stability is very good."
"Nessus gives me a good preview of vulnerabilities and good suggestions for remediation. It's easy to find a description of a given vulnerability and solutions for it."
"The most valuable feature is how it scanned and detected through its database to let us know exactly what fixes we needed to put in place for the vulnerabilities. It detects and it also gives you the way to fix it."
"Makes ransomware checking and OS auditing and implementation relatively easy."
"The most valuable features are that it's fast, it's easy to use and it provides good reports."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is the GUI and user-friendliness. Additionally, the environment is easy to work with."
 

Cons

"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."
"Tenable Nessus could improve the price."
"We'd like to see the solution embrace more user-friendliness."
"They should try to create an all-in-one solution."
"Pricing is one of the most important features, and it is something that they can improve on."
"From my point of view the solution basically is not for the big enterprise."
"The user interface of Tenable Nessus feels outdated and could be more user-friendly."
"Some things in the user interface could be better. The user interface could allow more adjustments to plugins. The price could also be better."
"In Nessus Professional, the main drawback was that we could have a single-user login password. So it could be better in terms of security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This solution is affordable."
"We pay approximately $2,500 on a yearly basis."
"Its pricing is great and can't be improved. It is very cheap. It is less than 2,000 pounds a license, and you can't really ask for more. It has unlimited IPs and unlimited scans. There are no particular pricing constraints. The only additional cost is the inherent cost of the people to actually review the actual scans."
"While Tenable Nessus is a good enterprise solution, the high price would likely make it prohibitive to smaller organizations."
"Nessus Manager is not an expensive product. It has its limitations, but the pricing reflects that. We have a yearly subscription."
"Tenable Nessus needs to be licensed. We own a license for the security center and that license is charged by the number of IP addresses that you can scan. You're allowed to have as many scanners as you want and there's no license for the number of scanners. We have a bunch of Nessus scanners out there, and as long as we're comfortable with staying under that IP address limit, that's really all we have to be concerned about."
"Cost-wise, it's an affordable tool."
"The price is okay. I would give it a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
