Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"Tech support is helpful."
"As a threat intelligence tool, it's very helpful."
"It can collect data from various sources, including social media and the dark web."
"The most valuable feature of Recorded Future is how it detects everything regarding our domain."
"From the feedback I've received from my clients, the most valuable feature is the ability to personalize the solution. The ability to have a customized dashboard makes it easy for leadership and management to obtain details. Intelligence analysts or security engineers care about the actions and results, whereas the leadership care about graphs and reports. Recorded Future helps my clients create reports and also determine how the intelligence that is generated is consumed. They can easily show the benefits to the leadership without them having to invest 10 hours a week into transferring numbers into a graph or into creating reports."
"The solution is diverse and provides me with a lot of different mechanisms for evaluation."
"The most valuable feature is Recorded Future's protection of exposed customer data on the hardware side."
"The intel that they were providing us over the emails was very good. If it found any hashtag in our organization's name on the dark web, a rogue IP, or a marketplace, it would send us an email and notify us that this is being mentioned, and if we want, they can take some action."
"The tool is helpful in vulnerability assessment of zero-day vulnerabilities and phishing domains. The solution provides information on any domains of the organization that has undergone phishing or any other cyberattacks."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Improve the user interface."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"At present, my clients need to be trained by me or another organization on how to use Recorded Future and how to get the best out of it as an analyst, engineer, and administrator. It would be better if clients could directly learn these things without having to go through me or other organizations."
"It sometimes detects false positives and reduces the overall accuracy of the system."
"We can get the data of different malware active throughout the globe, but it would be good if we can do sandboxing of a file. For example, on Any Run, we can perform sandboxing of malware along with their intel about a particular file or hash. It would be great if they have a feature like that."
"The product gives many false positives. If someone talks about the brand or organization name in the public domain over chats or blocks, it gets highlighted. It may not necessarily be a threat but still gets highlighted which increases the false positive count."
"When you add one website to Recorded Future, it should automatically call all other websites and social media platforms."
"There is a semantic oncology dynamic relationship between how the MIGR Tech framework needs more data infusion enrichment capabilities."
"The solution would benefit from introducing automation."
"Recorded Future is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
