Makes finding vulnerabilities a breeze

Nessus Manager is not good for larger teams needing to manage scan definitions. It is also needs significant customization for doing compliance scans.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it primarily to uncover problems with our patch management processes.

A Great tool for improvising Security on all levels
What do you like best about the product?
The tool results are descriptive and sufficient for understanding the Vulnerabilities, the reference and mitigation recommendations provided for each Vulnerabilities is really helpful in solving bigger issues. We can perform vulnerability assessment on almost any network device or different server platforms like windows, linux l, unix or Mac based systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool configuration is a bit of experts game, once you are familiar with each configuration for different devices it'll be adaptable but sometimes we get huge road blocks to complete a credentialed checks especially in configuring servers of windows based system, also the reports produce some false positive Vulnerabilities that is one troublesome thing.

IT Professional using Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is an easy to use tool that doesnt require years of expertise to be able to run and understand how to conduct vulnerability scans. It is a tool that does great with customization and I love that it can operate on multiple platforms, which is very help in a large enterprise. I like that Nessus comes with Security Center, which handles network monitoring and vulnerability management in a dashboard manner and SCCV, which detects vulnerabilities in real time
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus could provide more in their reports after a vulnerability scan is complete. Other scanning tools provide more insightful reports on what was identified during the scan. It would be nice if Nessus was an IPS instead of an IDS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerability scanning, vulnerability detection, insider threat, network monitoring, and vulnerability and network management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use tool for vulnerability scanning and network monitoring. Pricing is great compared to similar products on the market
