Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."It presents a real-time database that is always updated."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"Helps identify and correct misconfigurations in cloud environments, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are secure and optimized."
"On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us for this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures."
"This product provides a really nice visualization of the infrastructure, including network topology, firewalls, etc."
"The initial setup is easy and not complex at all."
"Compliance is becoming an important tool for us as well."
"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system."
"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Automatic remediation requires read/write access. When providing read/write access to third-party applications, this can add risk. It should have some options of triggering API calls to the cloud platform, which in turn, can make the required changes."
"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."
"Down the road, we would like to see automation. That is probably a feature that most people want. If they can automate patching a vulnerability, it will be much easier."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"The tool needs to improve the adding assets and report generation features. I would like to see the policy scan of offline appliances in the product's future releases."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"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."
"The customer support is very bad."
