Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"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 solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"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."
"The reporting is fine."
"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 most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"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."
"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."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
