Overall Satisfaction with Nessus

I use Nessus to conduct periodic vulnerability scans of our primary production servers and plan to implement scheduled scans of all nodes in batches at some point in the future.

Pros

  • Identifying known vulnerabilities.
  • Scoring discovered vulnerabilities appropriately.
  • Presenting vulnerabilities and remediation recommendations on an easy to read format.

Cons

  • While it is easy to use, it assumes a certain level of knowledge from the user, therefore, it could explain things a little better as the user moved through the program.
  • It has helped identify security flaws in our infrastructure that has helped better secure our client's data. It did so quickly and efficiently so I was able to move on to other tasks.
It's very much a plug and play application that the user can go into with limited knowledge and set-up scans in minutes.
I haven't needed to contact support yet. But issues are easily solved with a quick internet search which means support and by extension, the larger community are involved and knowledgeable.
Nessus is much easier to use.
Nessus is quick and easy to implement as long as the user has some general knowledge of information security and vulnerability scoring.
