Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."It is easy to install and to maintain."
"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"It is a stable product."
"Fortinet is a great SD-WAN player when it comes to security capabilities."
"It offers some feedback and suggestions that guide our system development while helping our vendors to update their applications and fix any issues or bugs."
"We find that it is quite stable and reliable."
"It's stable and works efficiently against OWASP Top 10 attacks."
"The support is quite good."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"The most valuable features of Qualys VM are its ability to do proper vulnerability assessment. It has a lot of updates for all the vulnerability databases from all over the globe. It's an amazing solution when it comes to the versatility of the features it has. Additionally, the reports are very good. It generates very detailed reports about the vulnerabilities inside the environment"
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection."
"The initial setup in our data center was somewhat complex."
"The product's scalability could be better."
"They can introduce a scaled-down version for the SMB market. It would be very competitive in the environment."
"For advanced users, it would be really useful to have access and the ability to manipulate packets. If we can access and manipulate the contents of packets, even encrypted packets... that would be powerful. Since we're looking at packets arriving at our network, we would have the private key to access those packets and their information."
"Centralized configuration using FortiManager – like what exists for NGFW FortiGate appliances - would improve the configuration."
"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
"The documentation for the machine learning could be better."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"Improve the user interface."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
