"The most valuable features are that it's fast, it's easy to use and it provides good reports."
"User friendly and good dashboards."
"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
"The features are limited when it comes to scanning network devices for vulnerabilities."
"Tenable Nessus could improve by having more steady updates which will reduce the vulnerabilities."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"The reports are okay, but the interface is a bit difficult to navigate in some cases."
"It would be better if they had application-level support for mobile devices. They don't have anything to scan mobile devices. Tenable Nessus doesn't have a mobile application vulnerability assessment. I also have issues with the false positive rates. The product has limited features."
"One area that has room for improvement is the reporting. I'm preparing reports for Windows and Linux machines, etc. Currently, I'm collecting three or four reports and turning them into one report. I don't know if it is possible to combine all of them in one report, but that would be helpful."
