"What I personally like very much, from my experience, is that it is very reliable."
"The platform's most valuable feature is attack simulation."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"This is still a maturing product. Tenable is only a scanner for one ability, while other solutions like Rapid7 have more tools for verification. We still have to manually verify to see if the vulnerability is a false positive or not."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with different vendors' IPS solutions. The ACLs and IPS policies signatures should be enabled based on the results of Tenable Nessus automatically, we currently have to do it manually which is very time-consuming. It has done a good job integrating with Fortinet but we would like it to be better integrated with other solutions that we have."
"Remediation needs improvement."
"Tenable Nessus could improve reporting and information sharing. It would be helpful if we could share the reports and have a little bit better flexibility in the reporting of the data."
"Online learning could be a bit better."
"From my point of view the solution basically is not for the big enterprise."
"We use credentialed scans. They need more permissions and more changes or settings on Windows and Linux."
"XM Cyber could identify all areas of vulnerability. They could expand the identification span for different areas."
"We'd like to see a cheaper price."
