"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need."
"This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"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."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Improve the user interface."
"It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"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."
"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
