"The solution is very stable."
"The features of Tenable Nessus that I have found most valuable are its reliability and its ability to collate a dependable output, where we are able to get the same vulnerability when we test manually. The output is quite reliable."
"The solution can scale well."
"Once you get past the initial implementation, the solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is the support it provides for any new vulnerabilities quickly."
"Quick assessments, compliance scores, and results are provided without having to do agents."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is the dashboard. They are convenient to use."
"The solution is easy to understand for users because instructions are included on the platform."
"The reports must be more specific to help us understand what we should do to mitigate the problem."
"I have found it is sometimes difficult to control the Zoom meeting sessions. For example, it is difficult to know who is talking and when trying to mute everyone but the speaker you end up muting everyone. When using multiple screens it is laborious to find the control buttons, such as to start a session. Additionally, when a recording is done I have found it difficult to find them, there should be an easier way to retrieve them."
"The reports are okay, but the interface is a bit difficult to navigate in some cases."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"They need more flexible pricing."
"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 reports should be improved in Tenable Nessus. For example, when you are auditing compliance with CIS standards. It provides very poor reports."
"The product must be more comprehensive."
"The report for counters is too simple and would be improved by a dashboard."
