Has enabled me to reduce false positives and perform deep credential auditing with seamless integrations

I mostly use the configuration audit feature for the audit configuration as a scan policy, and I will use it for credential audit, which helps me scan credentials access such as local administrator or root access, performing a deeper and more accurate check of local configuration settings and file systems, making it a highly recommended feature. Regarding integration capabilities, we can integrate Tenable Nessus with SIM tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, and Azure Sentinel, as well as with ticketing systems such as ServiceNow, Jira, and Slack. There is no complexity as it is very easy to integrate everything. In terms of the reporting feature, while vulnerability scanning can throw some false positives, Tenable Nessus has very few, achieving a reduction of 75% to 80% false positives with manual analysis needed. We can generate standard Nessus reports that typically include host summaries and vulnerabilities by host and plugin, alongside solutions and remediation recommendations. The main benefits I get from Tenable Nessus are complete asset inventory and comprehensive attack surface management, allowing us to prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk, focusing on true risk and threat path analysis.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user friendly. A beginner could use it."

"The solution provides time saving and cost saving benefits."

"The plug-in text information is quite useful."

"The support has been really cooperative."

"The value that Tenable Nessus brings to my company is significant because we can see risks; it is also good to see the pages risk and system risks, and it saves money."

"The most valuable feature is how it scanned and detected through its database to let us know exactly what fixes we needed to put in place for the vulnerabilities. It detects and it also gives you the way to fix it."

"Overall Zoom is a good solution."

"You can then direct your team to create a report on the discovered vulnerabilities."

"Nessus' most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it helps to discover vulnerabilities proactively and integrates with patch management solutions so you can push patches."

More Tenable Nessus pros

Cons

"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."

"Tenable Nessus could include a broader range of IT assets."

"There could be an integration between Tenable Nessus and other Tenable products. It will help us manage all the solutions using one dashboard."

"One area with room for improvement is instead of there just being a PDF format for output, I'd like the option of an Excel spreadsheet, whereby I could better track remediation efforts and provide reporting off of that."

"We have had some false positives in the past, which we hope can improve in the future."

"This is still a maturing product. Tenable is only a scanner for one ability, while other solutions like Rapid7 have more tools for verification. We still have to manually verify to see if the vulnerability is a false positive or not."

"There is room, overall, for improvement in the way it groups the workstations and the way it detects, when the vulnerability is scanned. Even when we would run a new scan, if it was an already existing vulnerability, it wouldn't put a new date on it."

"I would like to see more on the automation side."

"They need more flexible pricing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product is free."

"The solution has a single price for unlimited assets."

"The product pricing is dynamic and varies based on the specific needs of each project and customer."

"The pricing is much more manageable versus other products."

"The newer tools are quite pricey. There is a case of some fine tuning that can be done in terms of licensing. The IP based licensing that is offered makes the tool very expensive. If they want the IT industry to adopt it, the price should be looked at."

"Nessus is affordable, but its licensing model could be improved with more flexibility for adding assets."

"The cost is around $4,300 per year. Use is unlimited. You don't pay more if you want to use it for another IP."

"The price is high for the solution. There are free tools with similar functionality available. The solution cost approximately $3,500."
