Tenable Nessus Reviews

I evaluated, set up, and implemented Tenable Nessus for a client. They had four firewalls, about 500 endpoints, two servers, and one database server.

I like the fact that it was not expensive. I like that it's user-friendly.

It would be better if they had application-level support for mobile devices. They don't have anything to scan mobile devices. Tenable Nessus doesn't have a mobile application vulnerability assessment. I also have issues with the false positive rates. The product has limited features.

I have been using Tenable Nessus for about six months.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability a seven.

The initial setup is straightforward. We can deploy this solution within a week.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give the initial setup a seven.

We implemented this solution. 

Tenable Nessus is affordable. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give pricing a ten.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Tenable Nessus a seven.

We use Nessus for vulnerability assessment. Three or four engineers at my company are using it currently.

Nessus is effortless to integrate.

The reporting could be improved. The reporting in Rapid7 is much better.

Nessus performs well.

Nessus is scalable.

I'm happy with Tenable's technical support. 

Nessus is easy to set up, and it only takes about two hours to deploy. 

I rate Tenable Nessus nine out of 10. Nessus isn't suitable for everyone. It depends on the case. If you need reporting for the COs and stuff, Rapid7 is better. However, if you are implementing it as part of an ongoing VA or retention operation, you should probably use Tenable.

We're using Tenable Nessus to manage vulnerabilities.

What I like most about Tenable Nessus is its vulnerability scanning feature.

A room for improvement which I see in Tenable Nessus is the inventory management function.

I've been working with Tenable Nessus for two years now.

I'm satisfied with the stability of Tenable Nessus.

We have not tried to scale up Tenable Nessus. The number of users we have when we started using it is still the same.

Technical support for this solution was good. They were responsive.

The initial setup for this solution was easy.

We implemented Tenable Nessus through a vendor team, and the process took one month to complete. They were good.

This solution is affordable. We pay a standard fee. We pay for the license yearly.

I work with different products, e.g. firewalls, PAM technology, antivirus, WAF, and proxy. I'm handling information security in the government, not as a consultant. I deal with government procedures.

We deployed this solution on hardware, on VM.

We have 10 users of Tenable Nessus, and they are a mix of engineers and managers.

I'm scoring Tenable Nessus a ten out of ten.

The reports should be improved in Tenable Nessus. For example, when you are auditing compliance with CIS standards. It provides very poor reports.

I have been using Tenable Nessus for approximately one year.

The stability is very good.

Tenable Nessus has been scalable.

My advice to others is for them to focus on the cloud solution, and do as much as possible in the cloud.

I rate Tenable Nessus an eight out of ten.

Tenable Nessus has a good performance, is very user-friendly, and is easy to use.

The solution should be able to support more devices.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Tenable Nessus a nine out of ten.

I'm using Tenable Nessus for my personal projects and vulnerability assessment, but I can't discuss what I do at work with you.

I have experience with it on my attack stations, and it's pretty good to optimize. Personally, I think Nessus is quite a good product.

Some things in the user interface could be better. The user interface could allow more adjustments to plugins. The price could also be better.

I have been using Tenable Nessus as a worker in America for about 15 years now.

Technical support could be more knowledgeable. Their support right now goes from awkward to funny. Sorry to say that, but Tenable Nessus support isn't working as it should. They act fast, but their solutions don't always work. I've been in several situations at work where I had to find my own solutions.

The initial setup and installation are pretty straightforward. Let's say 15 minutes to compile the plugin. It would take about half an hour to an hour to set up and deploy.

One problem with Tenable is its pricing policy. Optimal results can be achieved with Greenbone Solutions which has much more friendly pricing policies.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Tenable Nessus an eight.

I'm using Tenable for a project I'm working on. The primary use case is for web application scanning and we're also able to conduct infrastructure scanning and network scanning. I'm not using all the features. 

It's a user friendly solution and I like the dashboards. 

Unfortunately, the solution consumes more system resources when it's being run and I'd like that to be reduced. 

I've been using this solution for three months. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup was very easy, it didn't take more than 10 minutes. It does depend on internet speed so sometimes deployment might take longer. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We primarily use the solution for vulnerability management.

When it comes to servers and scanners, or servers and endpoints, you can discover the vulnerabilities that might be on the other end. You can see, for example, if
you have a gap in vulnerabilities in specific servers or specific endpoints, and you if have to close the. You can really see the risks that might be encountered within your environment.

The solution is very good at vulnerability management. It gives you great visibility of visibilities.

The solution is stable. 

The initial setup is very straightforward.

We'd like to see more integration potential within the solution.

They tend to do a new release every quarter, and will ultimately continue to add more features.

We've been using the solution for two months. We've been looking into it over that time.

The solution is pretty stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is very reliable. 

I can't speak to the scalability. We have never tried to scale the solution.

I'm the only person in my organization that uses the solution. I don't have plans to increase usage at this time.

I can't speak of technical support's knowledgeability or helpfulness. I haven't used them before and therefore couldn't really evaluate them very well.

The solution is very straightforward and pretty simple. There isn't too much complexity or difficulty involved. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup.

I handled the installation myself. I didn't need the assistance of a consultant or integrator.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

I can't speak to the exact pricing. It's not an aspect of the solution I directly deal with.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I can't speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's pretty great at vulnerability management, however, there are always ways to improve it.

I'd recommend the solution to other users.
