We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
"The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"It provides the most useful tools for protecting our financial account records from hackers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts."
"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature."
"It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"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."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment."
"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."
"You do need to pay extra in order to get better support."
"The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point."
"The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
"I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."
"I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"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."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
