CISO at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees

We haven't any problems so far.

A few days ago, I was scanning a range, three or subnets, the whole domain. That was something like 1,000 IP addresses. The first time I did it, things were a little bit slow. I was thinking that it was stuck or blocked. But I left it overnight and checked it in the morning. Everything had finished, correctly, after three or four hours. 

That was the only case where I had any issue but it was a problem because I was a little bit lazy. Instead of creating multiple jobs, I put everything together. I didn't know for sure which IP addresses in which segments were being used. That's the reason I wanted Nessus to scan them. I didn't want to check with the system administrator regarding IP addresses because every time I get such information, I usually find IP addresses with computers that the system administrator didn't tell me about. This way, I was sure to get a full vulnerability assessment. And I found two or three computers which had not been updated for two or three months. That was very important for me to find out.

Nessus  is pretty stable if you have a disaster recovery plan in place. We've never had an outage. The stability depends on the servers where it is running.

It's a stable solution, but we noticed that the agent wasn't being updated. This means we have to update it manually and run a few commands to get the service running. If the solution isn't updated with the latest version, it will go offline.

Initially, we had some issues. Initially, we were not very confident about how to configure certain things. Once we had integrated and deployed the product, we needed a few support calls to fix the system properly in our environment and since then it has been smooth, I would say. The stability is now good.

Tenable Nessus is an absolutely stable and fantastic product. As a customer I would give it a 90 percent out of 100 rating.  This is because we have been really satisfied with its use over the past four years. The company and market standards are growing and the margin standard is going up.

Tenable Nessus is competitively slower than Tenable.io.

Internally, it is stable. Externally also, from what I've seen, it is stable. The only problem that I've had with it was if you have a network and internet blip, you get disconnected, but that happens with anything. Right now, I would say that a lot of cloud companies are having problems because COVID has got a lot of people working from home remotely in VPN. This is the biggest problem we have. You went from 35 people using VPN to over 2,000 people using VPN. You're trying to go to a cloud that wasn't set up for VPN, or you don't have the necessary routes or bandwidth to it. The average person is going to say, "This cloud application sucks." It doesn't really suck. It means that you don't have enough bandwidth in your infrastructure.

VP - Risks, Audits & InfoSec at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

In terms of stability, recently we are seeing many updates coming in and we are finding that the updating model with its latest releases may be a little buggy. So sometimes deployment may take a couple of times and Nessus takes its own time for updating, thereby delaying the deployment time. Of late is, we are seeing updates coming in very frequently. So when we deploy it, it just updates again and again and that almost doubles the time.
