Tenable Nessus: Excellent tool for security testing
Kommentare: This is one of the best tool I've used, very competent and shows great results. Accuracy of scans are good and detects most vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and other misconfigurations. Automated scans are very friendly to setup and compares scope to OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. Overall performance is good and also doesn't overload website. We even have multiple tenable products and it's integration with tenable.io ecosystem is great.
Vorteile:
API support for automation and integration into CI/CD pipelines. Great scanning capabilities with form based and token based authentication. Reporting of results with CVSS scoring are accurate and remediation fixes are provided by this tool itself
Nachteile:
Handling of dynamic applications with complex authentication needs improvement. Scan timings takes more than ETA
Good Choice for some
Vorteile:
Great scannerOld pro version was a perfect choiceAbility to rescan one item
Nachteile:
Tenable kept removing core functionsWeak web scanning capabilities
Great vulnerability scanner
Kommentare: My overall experience with Nessus has been extremely positive. It's reliable, regularly updated, and the scan reports are easy to read and actionable. The speed at which it identifies vulnerabilities is impressive, and it's saved me countless hours of manual checks.
Vorteile:
Nessus is hands down the most popular vulnerability scanner for good reason. It runs incredibly comprehensive vulnerability scans, catching everything from outdated software to complex misconfigurations. It's quick, efficient, and can be installed almost anywhere, which is a huge plus. The free version for personal use, covering up to 16 hosts, is more than enough for home networks or small businesses to get started.
Nachteile:
No cons I can think of. It has all the features that a decent vulnerability scanner should have.

Nessus: Vulnerability Scanner with Appealing Reporting Capabilities
Kommentare: Nessus is a must for network security testing and vulnerability analysis. Together with Nmap, Nessus gives a much better penetration testing and vulnerability analysis of networks and virtualized cloud infrastructures.
Vorteile:
I used Nessus with nmap for testing the vulnerability of virtualized networks in controlled environments. The main motivation behind the selection of Nessus is to have a user-friendly vulnerability report with categorized network exploits and OS weaknesses. Nessus provides accurate results (though some false positives are noticed in hardened Linux environments). The advanced reporting capabilities in Nessus makes the vulnerability results easily exported and documented to relational databases. Moreover, the various Nessus reports can be compared after hardening the OS with different security configurations.
Nachteile:
Nessus is very accurate but sometimes, especially with latest versions of Ubuntu, many false positives are noticed. Still Nessus results are considered highly informative and the false positives can be autonomously filtered to provide more accurate vulnerability analysis and reporting.

A good product to scan vulnerability but it's expensive
Vorteile:
Nessus allows you to have vulnerability dashboards and allows rapid remediation
Nachteile:
nessus is complicated to configure but also is a fairly expensive product
Great Software to Detect Vulnerabilities
Kommentare: Nessus has been a great tool for the company I work at. Deploying it is just a matter of installing it, and putting in the right information in the installation, which can be automated. Once it's installed, it just works. It detects every known vulnerability there is.
Vorteile:
Vulnerability scanning in Nessus is very accurate, it rarely gets anything wrong. It is also easy to deploy.
Nachteile:
The only downsides of Nessus that I have experienced are that sometimes it gets false positives, but not very often, and that the UI of the website can be finicky sometimes.
Great product. Nessus is an industry leader for a reason.
Vorteile:
Nessus provides very valuable insight into network vulnerabilities and the remediation required to address the vulnerabilities. Nessus is and has been an industry leader for along time and is tried, tested, and true. Very good program that helps keep industries safe.
Nachteile:
Nessus can be cost prohibitive and difficult to initially setup. Having employees with good technical knowledge will be important if implementing Nessus software, otherwise, outsourcing is a good option as well.
Our auditors love Nessus Professional
Vorteile:
We love the overall ease of use and the amount of details that scans have along with the findings for quick remediation. Our auditors love the reporting.
Nachteile:
Sometimes there are limitations in the scan exclusions. We would also like to see integrations with ticketing systems.
Best Vulnerability Management Tool
Kommentare: Great tool for vulnerability scanning, easy to use, full of very useful features.
Vorteile:
Nessus allows you to run vulnerability scans to multiple networks simultaneously. It has various features that can be used for specific scans (web, PCI DSS, etc), as well as generic scans. Very easy to use. The reporting feature is also great, as it is very well formatted and it's possible to export the results into various formats.
Nachteile:
Everything is great as is in Nessus, especially if compared to other competitors. Nothing negative to say about it.
Conduct vulnerability and compliance scans to protect infrastruture
Vorteile:
Nessus proved to be an effective solution for identifying potential security weaknesses and ensuring compliance across our infrastructure. With advanced detection techniques and detailed reporting capabilities, Nessus facilitated streamlined remediation of identified issues.
Nachteile:
For a small organization, the cost of the product can be too high to bear. At times the most recent CIS benchmarks may not be available to conduct compliance scans.
Nessus Scan - A tool to start your test with.
Kommentare: Great tool to meet sudden deadlines and effective reconn tool for Network penetration testing.
Vorteile:
This software is great for new bees and profressionals in network penetration testing. I would like to share some highlights and good points I feel: 1. The UI is really good and easy to use. 2. The results are shown in an organized manner. 3. Reports can be easily shared with excel exports. 4. Vulebrabilities are prioritized for you with Critical, High, Medium and Low. (CVEs results) 5. Scheduling time and date. 6. Sharing it with the team - nice access management.
Nachteile:
With the product proven to be great, some drawbacks of this product are: 1. False Positives are present, and its not your only tool to rely for a pentest. 2. It is not a web application scanner, its mainly a network scan. So if you are expecting to work like any other web app OWASP scanner, its not.
One of the best vulnerability scanners
Kommentare: Nessus has allowed us in the company to develop a timely remediation system, since with the results of the scanners our clients can manage the remediation in a more timely manner without needing to apply more invasive policies on the client. Additionally it has helped us that the scans can be done in a short period of time in comparison to others in the market and in this way improve our service.
Vorteile:
This product is one of the best network scanners on the market. After properly installing the server with the scanner in the network and placing the credentials of the administrator, the system works perfectly. Vulnerability scanning and compliance scanning are executed properly, all the standards included in Nessus are very useful.
Nachteile:
The vulnerability scanner is not totally accurate in some situations and some results must be checked to verify the vulnerability. Therefore, it is possible that there are false positives. Many times the supplements are not updated in a timely manner and this hurts even more with the false positives generated.
Nessus An Excellent Tool For The Vulnerability Management Process Of Any Company.
Kommentare: Nessus it’s an excellent tool for the vulnerability management process of any company. Its super easy to use and implement on any network, and the tenable university and the community it’s a plus that make it even easier. There are many way how to export the result of any scan, but the best are in HTML and PDF, because are easy to understand and explain to any person. I really like it and going to continue using it
Vorteile:
That it was really easy to implement and use
Nachteile:
The reports are very basic and need to improve.

Enterprise-grade vulnerability scanner
Kommentare: Nessus provides me with an in-depth overview of the vulnerabilities of every asset in the organization. The vulnerability management system integrated with it makes prioritization very easy, so you can quick work progressively towards a secure environment.
Vorteile:
Very easy to use. Very easy to configure a scan. Very easy to export a report and data about a scan. Very easy to customize scan templates. You can also create your own audit templates, so you can customize this tool for the specific policies of the organization. If you get to know the ins and outs of the scanner, you can get the most value from it.
Nachteile:
Most of the time the documentation is incomplete if you get picky with the use cases. Support via Tenable Support Portal has been very slow lately, it seems like if they had a single person to handle all the support cases they have everyday. It used to be slow, but that's been improved a lot in the latest version I've used (7.0.2).
Great product and easy to set up and use.
Vorteile:
It did what it was advertised to do and did it well. The updates to the plugins were done regularly and it found everything out there that was a vulnerability
Nachteile:
Lacked reporting module that helped show more of the picture for non technical people and pretty graphs. To get those you needed to move to Tenable.io or SecurityCenter.
Nessus, Finding all those vulnerabilities!
Kommentare: Tenable is one of the best scanners out there to me. Easy to use and easy to hire people with experience in it
Vorteile:
Nessus is great about releasing new plugins for vulns. It's lightweight and has an agent option or a hardware scanner option. The cost is pretty standard.
Nachteile:
The reports that tenable can generate are lack luster at best. We use the API to pull the info we want, but that takes more work and development time than we like
Run and Gun!
Vorteile:
Nessus allows you to perform both authenticated and unauthenticated scans for a list of hosts within your network to check for potential vulnerabilities and missing patches, out dated software etc. The post presentation so nicely done and all referrals are there to plan out the remediation process if there are any.
Nachteile:
You have to have a powerful rig to get the most out of this software since it's a bit CPU hungry. It'll get days to run a scan for 100 hosts if you have low end system.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Nessus - best vulnerability manager
Kommentare: We use Nessus and we are very satistied.
Vorteile:
The price. Dashboards. Very fast scans and very detailed reports.
Nachteile:
User group management can be more efficient.
Best Vulnerability Scanner
Kommentare: Nessus is one of the best vulnerability scanning tools in the Cyber Security field. There are no arguments with the functionality of the tool providing itself. As an overall comment, Nessus is very good to manage your infrastructure assets from cyber attacks.
Vorteile:
Nessus is very unique and has a user-friendly interface. Also, the deployment is very easy and we can update plugins by using GUI.
Nachteile:
As per my 2+ years of experience with the Nessus tool, sometimes it contains false-positive results. Therefore, we need to manually go through all results before submitting them to our customers.

Amazing Security Tool
Kommentare: Overall Nessus is incredibly powerful, it seems better setup for corporate environments and I think in that environment you could not ask for a better software.
Vorteile:
Nessus is very easy to use and it houses a lot of known vulnerabilities. Reporting from a scan couldn't be easier. Timely updates are also necessary for any vulnerability scanner worth its salt, and Nessus updates regularly to cover any emerging threats in a timely manner.
Nachteile:
For the paid version its pricey but you can't put a price tag on keeping things secure. My experience lies in the free version that is available for home use. It requires you to request a key, which is fine but it took close to 3 days for the email to be sent with the key. I'm hoping this was a fluke but it was unfortunate. Occasional bugs have also occurred, but what software doesn't have the occasional bug.
Nessus Professional On Premise
Kommentare:
I currently use it to perform vulnerability assessments towards the customers' targets.
The results are usually accurate but it's always better to evaluate them manually to confirm/deny their existence.
The readability of the results is much easier through the Nessus interface than via the exported reports (PDF or HTML).
Vorteile:
Very frequent vulnerability database updates Easy to use Good pricing
Nachteile:
Some false positives Some false negatives Running it in a virtual machine in NAT configuration sometimes does not give results as good as in bridge mode The reporting phase could be much better and should be more customizable
Great vulnerability audit tool
Vorteile:
Probably the best vulnerability scanner out there. There are plugins for every vulnerability, and it can scan either credentialed or uncredentialed. It is very easy to use, and generates really good reports and provides good feedback.
Nachteile:
Some things on the website are rather slow, and there could be better flexibility to manage older data, like from hosts that are no longer in service.
Decent general-purpose scanner
Kommentare: Nessus is my first local and network scanner. So far it's doing a pretty decent job!
Vorteile:
For threats that are generally manageable and can easily be detected, Nessus is the to go-to scanner of choice
Nachteile:
For novice administrator, more especially for those with less computer savviness, the configuration of this is very challenging
