We performed a comparison between Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."
"PingSafe offers comprehensive security posture management."
"The ease of use of the platform is very nice."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"The remediation process is good."
"I have enjoyed working with all the features."
"The product has built-in functionality that checks whether the service is available or not. In case the service is down, the tool will create a new instance by default. Hence, the web API will be always up irrespective of the server or the situation."
"The most valuable features of AKS are scalability, deployability, and automation."
"We like how easy it is to create the resources in this solution, thanks to how easy the UI is to use."
"AKS as a service is very good when you need to leverage applications or functions with much variability in their usage because you're trying to be as efficient as you can with resources."
"Its support team resolves technical issues accurately."
"We find the container orchestration tool that this solution provides to be very valuable."
"Has a good management feature monitored by the cloud service provider."
"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"
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"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."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"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 initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"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."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want PingSafe to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"Sometimes, it fails to provide specific metrics."
"Unfortunately, when a microservice fails, Azure can take up to 60 seconds to broadcast an alert to the monitoring agents."
"The technical support could be faster."
"More control over Infra scanning can be introduced."
"One area that could be improved is the Azure CLI. It would be beneficial if they could abstract some of the complexities related to deployment scripts and make them a part of Azure CLI."
"I would like to see the stability get more synchronized."
"The product needs to support a UI dashboard. I have to execute every single command to check the status of services which takes time."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"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."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
