Does anyone have experience with Tenable products?

I’m interested in real world experience regarding:

  • cost
  • effectiveness
  • ease of use

I’m playing with Tenable Security Center and Nessus Scanner. I’m early in the deployment, just looking for pointers and whether anyone has used it?

What alternatives is your org using if not?

Can you compare?

Edit, if anyone is interested, I can post results and opinions here also.

    It is a requirement for all of the military projects I’ve worked on. Specifically ACAS which has Nessus as a component.

    For a solo person doing scans for clients I think the cost is like $2k. Seems fine but I wouldn’t buy it without a guarantee I’d get my money out of it.

    There is one other product I’ve tried from greenbone. Never used it professionally. Idk if I would trust it at the same level as Nessus.

      Good info, thanks.

      I am familiar with ACAS, which is why I am testing the products.

      Fully capturing all the capabilities of scanning, auditing configuration seems like you could put countless hours into the implementation.

      I imagine the ROI is high based on what I’ve seen.

      Would you agree?
