Increíble Escáner de Vulnerabilidades

  • July 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Nessus is the ease with which it can be launched and understood. The use it is given and the categorization of vulnerabilities are also important.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price of the PRO version is too high for it to be just a vulnerability scanner. Also, the automatic reports should improve. And of course, false positives should be controlled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For any work dedicated to vulnerability management, it is important to have Nessus in mind. It helps you get a quicker idea of the attack surface.

It is not straight forward when it comes to ignoring certain IPs in a CIDR range.

Over 15 years experience with Tenable Nessus

  • June 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that the Nessus product tells you if the discovered vulnerability is exploitable, and if so by what tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the reporting tool was more robust. As it stands, now I export the Nessus scan database and use a Perl script to parse the data into a custom CSV file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tenable cuts down the time it takes to evaluate a network for vulnerability and potential attack paths
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus Professional is great for consulting as they do not charge by IP Address like with their IO product.
