But all it takes is a dramatic cyberattacks to make embarrassing headlines could also mean big liabilities. Greenbone instantly kicks in when occurrences become recognizable and begins to create an appropriate vulnerability test. > > **Cons**: It was hard to get everyone trained to an appropriate level. > > We struggled with protecting ourselves, but Greenbone helped us think like an attacker which made us smarter. Sort of like when police hire a profiler to get in the mind of a killer to better understand where/when he might strike again. ----- ### "Vulnerability Management" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *November 21, 2018* | Outsourcing/Offshoring | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am using the free version (AKA VM Image) It is limited and the plugins are "ok" at best. > > **Cons**: If you have nothing, then this is the cheapest option. It isn't the best option (I haven't used their paid version). The free version does have some limitations, such as scheduled scans. ----- ### "Okay for quick glance vulnerability scanner" — 3.0/5 > **Ivan** | *February 27, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: For getting a quick glance and weeding out easy vulnerabilities is just fine. The management with the Greenbone Security Assistant makes it more bearable. > > **Cons**: The reports aren't easy to digest. The vulnerability checking sometimes isn't accurate enough for enterprise-grade reports. > > Quick glance over vulnerability scanning, allows me to work on the obvious vulnerabilities first, so I can use a proper vulnerability scanner to work on the harder-to-find ones. ----- ### "One of the best free Vulnerability Scanner" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *August 25, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best thing about this is this tool is free and developed vast community. Finds common vulnerabilities very fast and gives proper report. Good for small scale enterprises. Comes bundled with KALI Linux, Gives fast results. Easy to use, user friendly GUI > > **Cons**: Plugins are not updated regularly for latest vulnerabilities, so misses most of the latest vulnerabilities. Doesn’t support all operating system out there. need to increase support to all operating systems Credentialed scans cannot be done properly on this tool. > > Overall good for Freelancers to take up small scale projects, gives substantial report. ----- ### "OpenVas" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *May 7, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the fact there is a quick deployment option using a virtualized image. > > **Cons**: There needs to be a quick start guide setup to help get users up and running that covers the basics of how the engines/databases get updated. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2055737/greenbone?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2055737/greenbone) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
