Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."The solution is very easy to use."
"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."
"It does exactly what you expect it to do, and its pricing is great. We couldn't really ask for a better deal."
"Makes ransomware checking and OS auditing and implementation relatively easy."
"The solution is very stable."
"The vulnerability scanner is the most valuable feature."
"Once you get past the initial implementation, the solution is very stable."
"I like the fact that it was not expensive. I like that it's user-friendly."
"The scanning capabilities are most valuable when compared to Nessus."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"Scans aren't done properly and some devices aren't pinged."
"Tenable Nessus could improve by having more steady updates which will reduce the vulnerabilities."
"Vulnerability recommendations are outdated and not in line with industry standards."
"It would be nice for the professional module to include some of the reports available in the expert module."
"Multiple steps to create an actionable plan will be a great addition to Nessus."
"One significant drawback we encounter is the tool's tendency to flag patched packages incorrectly. For instance, if a package is patched by Debian maintainers but not updated to a major or minor version, Nessus may still flag it as vulnerable based on its database. This discrepancy leads to false alarms and requires our developers, system admins, and DevOps teams to address them."
"The professional version is not very scalable."
"The solution could improve security updates."
