"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"The product is easy to use."
"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 of the solution is the external channel."
"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."

"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."

"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful."
"The price could be improved."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."
