Overall Satisfaction with Nessus

We use Nessus within our information security department to scan our network for vulnerabilities. Afterwards we ensure to patch the necessary vulnerabilities. We also use Nessus for PCI scanning as required for PCI compliance.
  • Vulnerability scanning.
  • PCI scanning.
  • Could use an upgrade within reports.
  • Scans can take a long time to complete. Have to break them down in small sections.
  • Great vulnerability scanning tool for the price.
We looked at AlienVault since it can be a SIEM and scanner all in one. Ultimately, we decided AlienVault didn't stack up well against Nessus so we decided to purchase Nessus. Glad we did.
We have never had to contact them. We only contact Tenable when it comes time to renew Nessus.
