Overall Satisfaction with Nessus

Nessus vulnerability tool is being used by IT Admin team to scan for vulnerabilities in the workstations and servers, routers, and switches which are planted all over the network both in LAN as well as WAN. Nessus helps to secure the network by running scans on outdated patch versions as well as it helps to implement best practices.

  • Scanning Templates

Comparing other products, Nessus has a lot of plus points. Not only for PCIDSS, Nessus is great for other compliance bodies such as HIPAA, NIST etc.

Would you buy Tenable Nessus again?

As an organization which is PCIDSS complied, keeping all IT infrastructure up to date is mandatory. Before Nessus was implemented, it was really hard to monitor the updates continuously. Automated Nessus scans run vulnerability assessments and sends emails with all the vulnerabilities. The reports are also highly customizable and can be exported to PDFs, HTMLs, XMLs etc.
