Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way."
"The solution offers an excellent price, benefit, and installation relationship."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"It has great scalability."
"It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems."
"The identification of misconfigurations, maintenance of compliance in a centralized way, and visibility across all the multi-cloud tenants are the key functionalities."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"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."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"Provides great functionality."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications."
"Their service needs improvement."
"Check Point must provide a multi-cloud facility where AWS, Azure, and GCP can seamlessly work together and display posture in an integrated manner."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."
"Making basic rules is easy, but it's complex if you want to do something a little more nuanced. I've been unable to make some rules that I wanted. I couldn't evaluate some values or parameters of the components I look for. I haven't always been able to assess them."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
