Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."The solution is very easy to use."
"We have around 500 virtual machines. Therefore, we conduct monthly scans and open tickets for our developers to address identified vulnerabilities. These scans cover the servers, other network equipment, and appliances in our infrastructure."
"The plug-in text information is quite useful."
"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."
"Among the most valuable features are scanning for vulnerabilities and the reporting. The reporting templates are okay. I like that I can see all the hosts with different vulnerabilities."
"Ease of reviewing scores, identifying vulnerabilities, and getting information on them."
"My favorite part about Nessus is that you can customize the tool to scan exactly what you want. Microsoft releases new patches monthly on Patch Tuesday, and a lot of companies track that date. I set up Nessus for the day after Patch Tuesday to see which devices have already pushed those updates from Microsoft, so we can stay updated."
"We have done code scanning for a long period because as a company, we do DevOps as part of our development life cycle."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to use. Its reporting is good. From this reporting, you can see the pain point in your network, which makes it easy to fix them. It is easy to understand the reports and export them."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"Remediation needs improvement."
"The solution could improve security updates."
"The scalability of Tenable Nessus is good. However, it could be more flexible."
"From my point of view the solution basically is not for the big enterprise."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ranking of high, medium and low vulnerability."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"There should be a possibility to install agents on scanned machines. Tenable IO provides the capability of using local agents to check local problems, but this feature is not there in Tenable Nessus Professional. It would be nice to have something similar in Tenable Nessus Professional. We should have the capability to use local agents installed on the machines to locally check a problem."
"Scans aren't done properly and some devices aren't pinged."
