Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"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"
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"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 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 is straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it. Once you've deployed it, then you're never confident on the versions of the browsers and the SSL certificates, etc. You have to always go back into Qualys and check."
