Ivanti Patch for Endpoint Manager vs. Tenable Nessus

Anytime you have desktops/laptops or servers that need to be managed for patching this is awesome. Integrates with other products very well. I have yet to find a product that wasn't in their system but they still have a manual option to add 3rd party programs that they've missed.

Nessus is perfectly suitable for performing comprehensive vulnerability assessment scans being a vulnerability scanner. It is less appropriate for performing penetration testing since it is not a penetration testing tool, it does not have the ability and modules to exploit the vulnerabilities of the system.

Tenable Nessus is a great product and provides a lot of value, but it is difficult to set up and use and the amount of data it generates can be overwhelming. It does help us prioritize based on the severity of the detection, however there are sometimes mitigating factors that we have implemented that Nessus does not account for, which causes lots of noise in the reports.
