Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Great web application security for scanning."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"Tech support is helpful."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"Improve the API speed."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"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."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"The reporting needs a lot of work on the template."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The web application is not very functional."
