Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
