Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks.""People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially.""The most valuable feature is the separate environment.""The most valuable feature of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is the training.""The posture management and remediation features are the most valuable. We use GSL Builder to build custom rules in alignment with our organization's policies. CloudGuard has canned rules using multiple standard frameworks, but we also have additional rules.""It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment.""Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's initial configuration is very easy. It is plug-and-play. It also gives regular updates.""Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."

"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features.""The reporting is fine.""It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems.""What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good.""I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth.""Technical support is fantastic.""The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it.""There are fewer false positives when using this solution."

Cons
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required.""Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement.""It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications.""We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs.""The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts.""The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete.""We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements.""We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."

"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities.""When tested on Zero day, there were errors.""There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys.""The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement.""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.""Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved.""The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated.""The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
  • "It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
  • "The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
  • "I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
  • "Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."

  • "Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
  • "When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
  • "It is more expensive than other products on the market."
  • "They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
  • "It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
  • "Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
  • "The pricing and licensing for Qualys could be improved."
  • "The license is on a yearly basis."
