Lockdown devices and ports on endpoints so that you can stop propagation of any virus if it's detected but performance utilization can be better
It's scalable in the form of it now covers mobile devices as well as a number of other different types of devices, not just Windows. Also, there's no limit as to how many devices you can install it on. We plan to expand the number of devices/users as we get more people onboard or upgrade to more mobile devices; we will then increase the number of licenses for mobile devices. We've got 450 licenses, but we've got about 375 devices and users currently. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There's not a product yet that I've found that I can't put it on, especially now that they've got the new release, which was the mobile agents.

Has enabled me to reduce false positives and perform deep credential auditing with seamless integrations
I mostly use the configuration audit feature for the audit configuration as a scan policy, and I will use it for credential audit, which helps me scan credentials access such as local administrator or root access, performing a deeper and more accurate check of local configuration settings and file systems, making it a highly recommended feature. Regarding integration capabilities, we can integrate Tenable Nessus with SIM tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, and Azure Sentinel, as well as with ticketing systems such as ServiceNow, Jira, and Slack. There is no complexity as it is very easy to integrate everything. In terms of the reporting feature, while vulnerability scanning can throw some false positives, Tenable Nessus has very few, achieving a reduction of 75% to 80% false positives with manual analysis needed. We can generate standard Nessus reports that typically include host summaries and vulnerabilities by host and plugin, alongside solutions and remediation recommendations. The main benefits I get from Tenable Nessus are complete asset inventory and comprehensive attack surface management, allowing us to prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk, focusing on true risk and threat path analysis.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The automated response capability in SentinelOne enhances security operations. It means I don't have to worry about having too many security people watching it because you can automate a lot of the tasks."
"The solution can scale well."
"Once you get past the initial implementation, the solution is very stable."
"It provides multiple recommendations towards the remedy of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features of Tenable Nessus are the scanning option. Advanced scanning is highly useful. The offline config audits and application assessments are useful."
"Makes ransomware checking and OS auditing and implementation relatively easy."
"Nessus is effortless to integrate."
"It allows me to prioritize efforts and utilize effective technical resources."
"User friendly and good dashboards."
 

Cons

"The performance utilization on the device that it's monitoring. This aspect needs improvement."
"One area that has room for improvement is the reporting. I'm preparing reports for Windows and Linux machines, etc. Currently, I'm collecting three or four reports and turning them into one report. I don't know if it is possible to combine all of them in one report, but that would be helpful."
"The reports are okay, but the interface is a bit difficult to navigate in some cases."
"We use credentialed scans. They need more permissions and more changes or settings on Windows and Linux."
"They could make their reporting a little better."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"Tenable Nessus could include a broader range of IT assets."
"Nessus' reporting could be more user-friendly."
"To be honest, I haven't used it much to tell you that these are the things that should be improved. But I believe the UI should be enhanced somewhat. For example, there are two ways to find a report, and people are frequently confused as to which is the correct method for locating a full report. Sometimes they go in the opposite direction, so this is an area that may be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten; one is very expensive, and ten is an absolutely cheap product."
"The product is free."
"The cost is around $4,300 per year. Use is unlimited. You don't pay more if you want to use it for another IP."
"It has a fair cost and very good cost-benefit ratio."
"This solution is affordable."
"One problem with Tenable is its pricing policy. Optimal results can be achieved with Greenbone Solutions which has much more friendly pricing policies."
"When comparing the price of Tenable Nessus to other similar solutions, such as Acunetix, Tenable Nessus is not as expensive. It is averagely priced in the market. We pay for the solution annually."
"The product pricing is dynamic and varies based on the specific needs of each project and customer."
"We have a subscription, the licensing fees are paid yearly, and I am using the latest version."
