Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users.""The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently.""We get access to quarterly reviews with their team.""There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them.""We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."

"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring.""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.""Great web application security for scanning.""This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment.""The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities.""The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it.""Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports.""The most valuable feature is the certificate management."

Cons
"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect.""The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution.""Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations.""The scalability could improve.""As far as the product is concerned, I would really like the scanning feature to let us know that a threat has been addressed once we apply the relevant patch. We are not seeing this currently when running a scan."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk Cons →

"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools.""Finding things in management can be quite difficult.""There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys.""Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features.""Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once.""Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives.""It is more expensive vs. other products on the market.""The reporting in this solution can be improved."
