"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"The mean time to detect has been reduced."
"PingSafe stands out for its user-friendly interface and intuitive software, making it easy to navigate and use."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"PingSafe offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"PingSafe filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."
"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"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."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
