We performed a comparison between Fortra Tripwire IP360 and Tenable Nessus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"Nessus gives me a good preview of vulnerabilities and good suggestions for remediation. It's easy to find a description of a given vulnerability and solutions for it."
"The most valuable feature is how it scanned and detected through its database to let us know exactly what fixes we needed to put in place for the vulnerabilities. It detects and it also gives you the way to fix it."
"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."
"Easy to set up vulnerability scanner with good stability and a responsive technical support team."
"I like this solution because it is complete. It can scan and check many types of vulnerabilities. It can also check for compliance."
"With the Tenable Nessus enterprise edition, you have unlimited licenses to scan the device."
"Makes ransomware checking and OS auditing and implementation relatively easy."
"The stability is very good."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"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 scalability of Tenable Nessus is good. However, it could be more flexible."
"We have had some false positives in the past, which we hope can improve in the future."
"They should improve the I/O reporting and the customized spreadsheet export feature."
"The reporting could be improved. The reporting in Rapid7 is much better."
"In Nessus Professional, the main drawback was that we could have a single-user login password. So it could be better in terms of security."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ranking of high, medium and low vulnerability."
"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."
