![]() Lately, they changed the rules on the homefeed that makes it impossible to scan systems not on a LAN. Used Nessus for many years, usually the home feed. The only good thing I can say about Nessus is it's current lack of pricing per IP, which separates it from other functionality equivalent products, which greatly affects us because of our particular market. Finally, support from the sales organization was less than helpful and let us with a very bad impression. Even more disconcerting, for their plugins that indicate were for IOS XR, I checked the code of two of them and they do not obtain IOS XR version info or contains the affected versions in the matching statement. IOS XR is not supported in case that matters to you. Still, when I queried about IOS XR support, I got a lot of run around and misdirection. The world needs an easy to use stand-alone desktop edition again for one-off scans.Īpparently Tenable has recently stopped providing trial versions (even though their license agreement still states that they do) and minimal pre-purchase sales support because it was apparently taking up too much of their time. Works alright for scheduled scans but alternations are clunky and upgrades are painful. Kicked out some nice reports that I can use. I just installed the Home Feed, and was able to scan IPs off my local network (over the Internet), and had no licensing issues. Not sure what some of the other reviews are talking about. detecting a problem one scan that is ignored on the next with no changes done to the server tested. But lately the plugins have become unreliable. We've been using the commercial version, which has been a bit slow. I especially love how everything is automated. I still use nmap for basic reconnaissance and host dicovery and use Nessus home edition and OpenVAs for VM. Tenable has done a good job improving the core functionalities of the product. I have been using Vulnerbaility scanners since both Nessus and SAINT were free. This is one of the best NGVM solutions out there after OpenVAS. NO MORE they cranked the price up 700 dollars in one year and their support sucks! Spend the money on anything else and their reporting still SUCKS! Nessus was one of the best FREE vuln scanners on the World.know they want a big amount of money, the support does nothing else then send you default messages and they takes 1-5 months to fix a bug or problem.to school security and make it stronger, this kind of tools no longer must be pay.FREE THE INTERNET, FUCK MONEY !īeen using Nessus since it was released, even paid for it for many years. I loved using the scanner for home testing, guess I'll be switching back to openvas 1200 a year was something that our business could cut here or there to have the self assurance. However the price hike this year makes it unattainable. Start with kali toolkit, and nmap+plugins can be leveraged.įor small businesses that are tech savvy, I was looking forward to using this scanner. To expensive and there are free and low cost alternatives. Easy to use, flexible dashboards, and feeds intelligence from Metasploit. For the commercial I wouldn't payįor those looking for a commercial-grade vulnerability scanner, it's worth looking at Rapid7 Nexpose. for this reason it's okay I guess.It's a free version so with the feeds. I use nessus in a vm-image (kali) to scan my own network (win 8). I don't know what's the hot fuzz about nessus. Unlike me, I'm all their customers will be very happy to share their scan results with some corporate entity they have no control over. Tenable explanation do not pass any intellectual tests, beside forcing customers to they cloud platform. Nessus Professional 7 will not have the restful API we're used to. This is for our on site testing so SSO will be a boon If we opt for the cloud version of Nessus does it support ADFS so that IT staff can login transparently. Nessus is no longer available via the Home feed, nor are there any other free offerings. It will scan up to 16 devices for free: įound the link for the home version of Nessus: Nessus changed the free version from Home to Essentials, and it's available for home and business.
