We performed a comparison between Mend.io and Qualys Web Application Scanning based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboard view and the management view are most valuable."
"The results and the dashboard they provide are good."
"The most valuable features are the reporting, customizing libraries "In-house, White list, license selection", comparing the products/projects, and License & Copyright resolution."
"I am the organizational deployment administrator for this tool, and I, along with other users in our company, especially the security team, appreciate the solution for several reasons. The UI is excellent, and scanning for security threats fits well into our workflow."
"We set the solution up and enabled it and we had everything running pretty quickly."
"The reporting capability gives us the option to generate an open-source license report in a single click, which gets all copyright and license information, including dependencies."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"What is very nice is that the product is very easy to set up. When you want to implement Mend.io, it just takes a few minutes to create your organization, create your products, and scan them. It's really convenient to have Mend scanning your products in less than one hour."
"The simplicity of exporting reports and the simplicity and clarity of the reports included with the product are good."
"I have found the detection of vulnerabilities tool thorough with good results and the graphical display output to be wonderful and full of colors. It allows many types of outputs, such as bar and chart previews."
"Its most valuable features are patch management, vulnerability management, and PCI compliance."
"By using QualysGuard, we are able to finish external scans with assured results in half the time."
"The most valuable feature is that we are able to scan the services and put credentials like a user ID password. We can verify the vulnerability level."
"QualysGuard web-based scanner is very useful for performing external penetration and PCI scans from remote locations."
"Licensing is the most valuable. Qualys provides the best licensing for companies. It is the best product for the development purposes of web applications. The product has a lot of integrations."
"It is a good product for website penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities."
"WhiteSource only produces a report, which is nice to look at. However, you have to check that report every week, to see if something was found that you don't want. It would be great if the build that's generating a report would fail if it finds a very important vulnerability, for instance."
"We have been looking at how we could improve the automation to human involvement ratio from 60:40 to 70:30, or even potentially 80:20, as there is room for improvement here. We are discussing this internally and with Mend; they are very accommodating to us. We think they openly receive our feedback and do their best to implement our thoughts into the roadmap."
"It would be good if it can do dynamic code analysis. It is not necessarily in that space, but it can do more because we have too many tools. Their partner relationship support is a little bit confusing. They haven't really streamlined the support process when we buy through a reseller. They should improve their process."
"Some detected libraries do not specify a location of where in the source they were matched from, which is something that should be enhanced to enable quicker troubleshooting."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"On the reporting side, they could make some improvements. They are making the reports better and better, but sometimes it takes a lot of time to generate a report for our entire organization."
"Needs better ACL and more role definitions. This product could be used by large organisations and it definitely needs a better role/action model."
"Make the product available in a very stable way for other web browsers."
"The software’s pricing could be improved."
"The scanner reports a lot of false positives, which is something that needs to be improved."
"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly."
"The product should allow users to upload their payloads."
"Deployment can be complicated."
"There should be better visibility into the application."
"The product's pricing could be better."
