Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is easy to use.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time.""I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments.""The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."

"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution.""The initial setup is straightforward.""Tech support is helpful.""Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring.""The reporting is fine.""I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable.""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.""It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."

Cons
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier.""The solution is a bit expensive.""It would be better if the solution is cloud-based.""The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more.""There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings.""The stability of the scans could be improved.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition Cons →

"The reporting in this solution can be improved.""The reporting and the GUI need improvements.""They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities.""Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards.""When tested on Zero day, there were errors.""I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment.""The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated.""We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
