"Reliable and Efficient Vulnerability Management Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Tenable Nessus?

What I like most about using Tenable Nessus is how simple and reliable it is. It makes vulnerability scanning straightforward and gives clear, actionable results instead of overwhelming me with unnecessary complexity. I find it especially helpful for quickly identifying risks, prioritizing them, and getting practical remediation guidance. Overall, it saves time and makes security assessments much more efficient.

What do you dislike about Tenable Nessus?

What I dislike about using Tenable Nessus is that sometimes the scan results can be noisy, with false positives that need manual verification. In larger environments, scans can also take time and consume resources, which can slow things down. I also feel the reporting could be more flexible and customized out of the box. While it’s a strong tool overall, it still needs some tuning and validation to get the best value from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tenable Nessus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nessus helps me solve the challenge of identifying vulnerabilities across systems before they can be exploited. Instead of manually checking configurations or missing critical issues, it gives me a clear view of security gaps, outdated software, and misconfigurations in one place. This benefits me by saving time, improving visibility across the environment, and helping me prioritize remediation based on risk, which makes security assessments and compliance activities much more efficient.
