Overall Satisfaction with Tenable Nessus

We use Tenable for vulnerability management for our network and virtual machines. This helps us find configuration issues and software vulnerabilities in the software and hardware that we use. It enables us to run a virtual machine, perform scans to identify out-of-date configurations, and provides steps to resolve issues in our environment.

Pros

  • Shows you how to fix certain vulnerabilities and the commands to run.
  • Gives you the CVEs that the vulnerabilities are matched to.
  • Easy to understand the vulnerabilities list, giving reasons why the issues need to be patched or fixed.

Cons

  • No places of improvement I can find.
  • It has helped us alleviate holes in our environment that we could not see before.
This is a good tool, also affordable.
Tenable was easier to set up and use than CIS-CAT.
