I use Tenable Nessus for vulnerability assessment so that you can scan for CVEs and existing CVEs. Tenable Nessus will show you the latest update on those vulnerabilities and where it needs patches, so it goes hand in hand with patch management. As soon as you scan, you can see whether it needs patching, and if needed, you can go ahead and deploy patch management to address the current issue.

A vulnerability assessment tool with patch management capabilities that offers ease of deployment
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are the policy and the active scan. The features are different for Tenable Security Center since it is more on an on-premises model. The solution also has features like Tenable.io and Tenable Web App Scanning.
What needs improvement?
I wouldn't want to change anything about Tenable Nessus since I haven't found or run into any issues in Tenable Nessus.
I like Tenable since I find everything related to the solution simplified and easy to use. You can approach the online community of Tenable when you run into a problem, and there is a bunch of information available there that you can gather and use for troubleshooting purposes.
I faced some problems with Tenable Nessus when dealing with some of our company's customers in China. The problems I faced with Tenable Nessus were related to its dashboard's customization capabilities and its ability to provide data to third-party sources. The solution should offer simplified data-sharing capabilities. Though we have the dashboards and can customize them, the options for customization are available in the templates provided by Tenable Nessus. It might not be possible with Tenable Nessus to add every component a person wants to a single dashboard since they can only choose whatever is available on the templates provided by Tenable Nessus. The aforementioned areas can be considered for improvement in the solution.

How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Tenable Nessus is very easy. You can get the application's installation file and implement it faster than ManageEngine, making it a simple process. I rate the initial setup of Tenable Nessus a nine out of ten.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
With Tenable Nessus, you have a file, and you just need to install it. In the on-premises model of the solution, you have a dashboard or console that you go to, which is like an internal website that you have set up so that you can get access to the on-premises version of the product.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the product's price seven or eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price.
What other advice do I have?
Tenable Nessus is a great tool. I believe everyone should be using Tenable Nessus since it is a tool that can be used for vulnerability assessment when companies face some vulnerabilities to find security holes or threats.
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
