We performed a comparison between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The label-based segmentation is the most valuable feature."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."

"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"The product needs a few features like enhanced user policies and payload-level inspection to improve the offering."

"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"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."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
