Solved Network Vulnerability Scan with REporting

What does everything OpenVAS does, and giving you the same info such as fixes/resolutions, but is faster for larger environments?

I really like OpenVAS and never noticed it being slow... it scans, and reports it's findings in an excellent way. Very intuitive and useful. It is worth spinning one up.
It is slow to start the tasks
Definitely.
Nessus is so much faster. In a big environment, OpenVas just isn't usable. It isn't bad for smaller environments, though.
Yes, that is expensive.

Yeah, but OpenVas is a resource pig, and the reporting isnt very good when you are reporting against thousands of systems, and you need to break them up into smaller groups. Also it isnt ideal for enterprise as permissions are a nightmare when you only want certain people to see certain assets.
It is actually much more expensive for a large company to try to use OpenVas

I'm not using it for thousands of systems at once, and permissions are not an issue. At most a scan is against a hundred or two devices at once. Maybe that's why I haven't noticed any slow or clunkyness.
But for in the future, I am curious of what to use that compares to OpenVAS, but is better with speed and permissions?
