Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Akamai, Cisco and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"I find Qualys VM very robust, and it's very useful for vulnerability management and patch management. The value that it brings to my environment is economies of scale. There is no limitation on adding any endpoints. You go by the rule, and it's added once another endpoint is added to our environment. It's automatically installed, and it's less work from our end. It frees up my license automatically if I don't need an endpoint or if my machine is decommissioned. I like the dashboard displays because I don't see any duplication. The most important part is vulnerability management and prioritization. Unlike Symantec, it shows the kind of vulnerability I would want to patch first. It provides a holistic view of the kind of vulnerabilities and the ones I should remediate first. I don't have to do a scan; it just brings up those critical kinds of vulnerabilities like zero-day vulnerabilities and tells me to prioritize them. You have to prioritize these vulnerabilities first and go on with the rest. The dashboard shows me the ones that have been fixed, so I don't have to complete an aging report. The user experience and the graphical interface are good. As it's user-friendly and understandable on an executive level, it brings real value. We also use this solution because it's robust and flexibile."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it. Once you've deployed it, then you're never confident on the versions of the browsers and the SSL certificates, etc. You have to always go back into Qualys and check."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
