Managing of multiple scanners is not so complex. And Job queue feature is useful to monitor scans.

Configuration of policies and credential based scanning is very friendly.

Well dashboard presents data well but UI design could be more interactive.

Scans are sometimes resource intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy to use interface makes exploring known and discovered vulnerabilities fairly painless. The fact that the solution to exploits is listed right next to the vulnerability overview, it makes remediation a lot easier.

The number of plugins covers a wide variety of systems and possible exploits.

SAML / SCIM integration is another plus and was fairly easy to setup.

Implementation of scanning via its Nessus agents was a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The plugin manager could use some work. There are often several plugins that do the same thing or just plugins that do not provide the functionality that they claim.

Additionally, some of the exploits that are not exploitable and can cause false positives. For example if I have a HTTPS exploit on a version of a router / switches firmware, but HTTPS management is turned off and only SSH management is used, then that exploit does not need to be listed as high.

At times agents fail their agent update, lose their connection, then dropped from the system. Some times the remediation information is lacking leaving you unsure how to correct non-standard vulnerabilities.

Support has not been good from our account manager to those higher up. I had issues with our VAR not receiving the renewal notification and services were shut off. It took them nearly 3 weeks to figure out their backend to restore services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
