Helps find vulnerabilities, reduces response time to critical vulnerabilities, and reduces false alerts
The vulnerability assessment is great. We can use it to fix all the vulnerabilities before we get them from our internal security team. It reduces a lot of false alerts. We have an option for a manual fix and an automatic fix. It clearly distinguishes what can be done by an automatic fix, which the tool can do, and what needs manual intervention. The tool gives us the steps to fix it. The automated vulnerability fixes, test deployment of patches, and the baselines are valuable. We can set a baseline or whatever we recommend and ensure the systems adhere to the baseline. The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them. It's not an active threat-hunting tool. We use the asset management capabilities in our service desk platform. It is really good. It is beneficial since we can fix vulnerabilities. The reporting feature has helped us in compliance and risk management. We can have custom reports. I can schedule reports. We must find baselines and accordingly use them to fix some of our requirements. The solution has reduced our response time to critical vulnerabilities. We have a patching window. The tool has enabled us to get all our machines in a compliant state.

Unlimited assets for one price and quick, agentless results
I implement the solution as a vulnerability management tool for client use cases. It can be used for public factors because it sits right where you have tie in and bleeds over or in between other tools as another piece in the EDR puzzle. The solution identifies vulnerabilities, applies patches, and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them."
"It does exactly what you expect it to do, and its pricing is great. We couldn't really ask for a better deal."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The scanning capabilities are most valuable when compared to Nessus."
"The most valuable features are that it's fast, it's easy to use and it provides good reports."
"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 product's most valuable features are vulnerability and asset management. It can define the rules and validate the configuration."
"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."
"It is a mature tool."
 

Cons

"The user interface is the only drawback of the product."
"Pricing is one of the most important features, and it is something that they can improve on."
"We feel the solution's technical support to be very bad."
"The report for counters is too simple and would be improved by a dashboard."
"Tenable Nessus could include a broader range of IT assets."
"There is room for improvement in finishing the transition to the cloud. We'd like to see them keep on improving the Tenable.io product, so that we can migrate to it entirely, instead of having to keep the Tenable.sc on-prem product."
"We would like to have the option of using the solution for the cloud as well as on-premises with the same license at the same time. That would be very helpful."
"We'd like to see the solution embrace more user-friendliness."
"Online learning could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."
"The is a free version of Tenable Nessus available."
"When comparing the price of Tenable Nessus to other similar solutions, such as Acunetix, Tenable Nessus is not as expensive. It is averagely priced in the market. We pay for the solution annually."
"In general, it is extremely expensive."
"This solution is affordable."
"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."
"Its price is high for Libya. The companies here in Libya don't have the awareness of and a good budget for cybersecurity services. If you want them to go for a product, you need to provide something different. This differentiation is related to the price. They should give about 40% to 45% discount per person on the current cost."
"While Tenable Nessus is a good enterprise solution, the high price would likely make it prohibitive to smaller organizations."
