Re: We are done for good with Tenable

I have to disagree about the false positives - Nessus is no better and no worse than Qualys. Personally I preferred the Nessus interface - Qualys tries to do everything and ends up as a jack of all trades master of none - leaving users having to hop around between different parts in an inconsistent manner.

Furthermore, Nessus here picked up an error Qualys missed caused by our desktop team having the wrong CAB file in SCCM.

BUT all this is no use if the tool is unmanageable or the vendor cannot be trusted - which is where we now are with Nessus.

Finally, taking the fingers-in-ears approach and shutting down the community server to avoid adverse discussion shows a company that seriously just does not get it.

Very sad. Good product. Crap company.
