Tenable Nessus Reviews

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.

The scanning capabilities are most valuable when compared to Nessus.

I think the reporting templates could be improved with Tenable Nessus.

I have been working with Tenable Nessus for the past year.

Tenable Nessus is scalable.

Technical support always replies back on Mondays and it depends on the open support cases.

The setup is straightforward. It takes about five to ten minutes to deploy and it is easy.

I would rate Tenable Nessus an eight on a scale of one to ten.

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.

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 have been using Tenable Nessus for approximately one year.

I have one customer that is using this solution.

The installation of Tenable Nessus is straightforward, and it can take a couple of hours.

I am able to do the deployment myself.

There is an annual license required to use this solution.

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. 

As new upgrades to the software come out periodically, I am currently using the latest version. 

I feel comfortable with the solution's vulnerability scanning capabilities.

While the solution is great for scanning servers, its features are limited when it comes to scanning network devices for vulnerabilities. 

I have been using Tenable Nessus since 2015. 

I can say that I am satisfied with Tenable Nessus' support and customer relations, which is why I'm still with the solution.

Technical support is very user-friendly. Upon entering their forum I can easily find the answers I seek, which I feel to be understandable and helpful. I have not any issues with the software that would have given me reason to engage technical support. 

I did not use an alternate solution prior to Tenable Nessus and have been using it since the inception of my career in information security. 

The installation of the solution was extremely easy. 

There was no need for me to involve my system administrator in the installation process, as I was able to handle it on my own. It is easy to install the solution on any server. 

The price is reasonable. 

I am actually using the solution in three or four different organizations, including Engro and Martin Dow. 

There are two or three people using the solution in my organization on an ongoing basis in key dedicated positions. 

As Tenable Nessus lacks adequate network vulnerability scanning features, I rate it as a seven out of ten. 

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.
