Nessus Vulnerability Scanner Review
What do you like best about the product?
The scanners are very easy to manage. The tool is very user friendly. The vulnerability detection prefers false positives other than false negatives which helps us with the better security posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The asset group information is hard to manage and download. This makes it harder to manage the zones or tags of assets.
The analysis feature will only provide us with one scan information after the scan is selected. Cannot go back to the cumulative update.
