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."The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The product is easy to use."
"Nessus is good at finding out what nodes you have in place. It will then provide you a report, by node, of what the vulnerabilities are. It does it quickly and stealthfully."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is the support it provides for any new vulnerabilities quickly."
"Tenable Nessus is an absolutely stable and fantastic product."
"We looked at Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7. We found Tenable was the best of all three."
"It also has an executive report where you don't have to provide the client all the detail for them to sift though. But if they wish to dig through the detail they can."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is real-time monitoring."
"It gives a holistic view of your entire environment."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."
"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."
"The reports should be improved in Tenable Nessus. For example, when you are auditing compliance with CIS standards. It provides very poor reports."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"The interface is a little bit clunky, and the reporting is not marvelous. There should be better integration of reporting between instances. Currently, the instance stands alone, and it produces a report. Being able to amalgamate those reports with another instance will be useful."
"One area with room for improvement is instead of there just being a PDF format for output, I'd like the option of an Excel spreadsheet, whereby I could better track remediation efforts and provide reporting off of that."
"We would like to have the option of using the solution for the cloud as well as on-premises with the same license at the same time. That would be very helpful."
"I think the reporting templates could be improved with Tenable Nessus."
"Some things in the user interface could be better. The user interface could allow more adjustments to plugins. The price could also be better."
"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."
