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…

Doesn’t identify threats and vulnerabilities, and the reports are quite useless

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of Tenable Nessus that I have found most valuable are its reliability and its ability to collate a dependable output, where we are able to get the same vulnerability when we test manually. The output is quite reliable."
"It also has an executive report where you don't have to provide the client all the detail for them to sift though. But if they wish to dig through the detail they can."
"Tenable integrates well with other solutions such as SIEM and batch management."
"The solution is easy to understand for users because instructions are included on the platform."
"User friendly and good dashboards."
"Tenable Nessus is one of the best vulnerability assessment tools, that I know."
"Security is the key number because it can start to scan with a few clicks instead of credits, which is a bit complicated. So simplicity is the first advantage. Then the generated reports are well done and easy to present to management. The quality of the scan is quite good in detecting the severity. The solution has simplicity. Also, it has frequent updates so that is also a valuable feature."
"Tenable Nessus is cheap and flexible."
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
 

Cons

"We feel the solution's technical support to be very bad."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"Consumes more system resources when it's running."
"The price and scalability of the solution could improve."
"We'd like to see more integration potential within the solution."
"They could make their reporting a little better."
"Tenable Nessus could improve the price."
"One area with room for improvement is instead of there just being a PDF format for output, I'd like the option of an Excel spreadsheet, whereby I could better track remediation efforts and provide reporting off of that."
"The reports are quite useless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a fair cost and very good cost-benefit ratio."
"The solution is worth the cost. It's a good investment."
"The price of Tenable Nessus is much more competitive versus other solutions on the market."
"The solution has free options."
"The product pricing is dynamic and varies based on the specific needs of each project and customer."
"Cost-wise, it's an affordable tool."
"The pricing is much more manageable versus other products."
"While Tenable Nessus is a good enterprise solution, the high price would likely make it prohibitive to smaller organizations."
