"This solution is expensive so pricing is a concern."
"The user interface needs improvement. Users should be able to find various features faster without much tweaking."
"Cisco SD-WAN is not as easy to deploy as the Meraki and FortiGate solutions. The zero-touch deployment could be a lot better. The deployment and initial setup are complicated and could be better."
"Cisco's router and voice gateway has not been available since the launch of SD-WAN."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"Since most user-data is going through the solution, we are concerned about security, as all the information is in the cloud and not on-premises. The user data authentification should be higher to better prevent malicious attacks."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"The customer support is very bad."
"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."

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."
