We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"After the assessment, you clearly know which assets require penetration testing.""ImmuniWeb boasts a robust vulnerability detection mechanism, formidable threat mitigation, and an efficient remediation process, incorporating automation techniques and ALM strategies. The solution is highly stable. The solution is scalable. Editing Key Points for Review "Review about ImmuniWeb" What is our primary use case? We use the solution when we face challenges and urgent attention is needed for complex cases from our clients. To address this, we collaborate with the middleware, internal, and client teams to analyze and sort through intricate logs concerning our business cybersecurity program. How has it helped my organization? The solution helped us with one of our clients in the New York area contacted us about a data breach. In response, we swiftly organized a case meeting involving our client, internal, and email customer support teams. Together, we conducted an incident response, facilitating offline assistance for proper planning and risk management processes. We delved into the details of the data breach, identified how it occurred, and collaborated to rectify the issue. The client expressed satisfaction with the resolution process. What is most valuable? ImmuniWeb boasts a robust vulnerability detection mechanism, formidable threat mitigation, and an efficient remediation process, incorporating automation techniques and ALM strategies. It also focuses on consumer satisfaction and operates in English-speaking markets, primarily required by the UAE, the United States, Canada, and Australia, among other developed countries. For how long have I used the solution? We have been using this product for the past one and half years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is highly stable. I rate it a perfect ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution is scalable. I rate it a nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? Support is generally excellent""I like the fully automated continuous discovery run by ImmuniWeb in the background. We do not need to rerun the same tests or the same scanning against our resources. We need to supply our IP addresses, domain names, and significant resources with special domain names and URLs, and we need to do it only once. Then we always have an up-to-date picture. I also like the integration with our single sign-on system. We do not need to maintain a separate set of usernames or user accounts. We can plug this ImmuniWeb service into our authentication technology, enabling two-factor authentication. We have secure authentication right out of the box. The other important feature I like is the executive view. You can easily switch from a technical view to an executive view and have a helicopter view of the compliance status. We can see how much effort is required and our current status.""ImmuniWeb is stable.""The most valuable features are the SLA of Zero false-positives, less time of service development, validation of unlimited patched vulnerabilities, and several others.""The solution's most valuable feature is reporting.""The initial setup process is user-friendly."

"Licensing is the most valuable. Qualys provides the best licensing for companies. It is the best product for the development purposes of web applications. The product has a lot of integrations.""Key features include: Cloud-based, so the installation is not so tedious. Easily deployed. Highly scalable. Comprehensive reporting.""The simplicity of exporting reports and the simplicity and clarity of the reports included with the product are good.""We can do scanning and submit reports straight to the customers when there are new vulnerabilities, then tell them whether they are affected or not.""​We have experienced quick customer support. They have a complete list of our previous issues along with our history, which makes it faster for them to solve issues.​""Qualys WAS' most valuable features are the navigation flow of the UI and the option for a different layer of security (identification and operation through email and mobile).""The Qualys Web Application Scanning solution offers a single comprehensive console and consolidated reporting, covering all aspects from on-prem to cloud and compliance, etcetera.""It is a very stable solution."

Cons
"A great idea would be to make a mobile application for the ImmuniWeb portal so that all information would be available on the go and from a mobile phone as well. It would be much more convenient.""A great idea would be to support using Discovery on the internal network, allowing delivery of all the features of the current Discovery to internal network resources.""Its technical support could be better.""The deployment process on the cloud is straightforward, while on-premise can be complex. Support is generally excellent, although there can be delays in ticket resolution.""The product’s interface for the web applications could be similar to Android and iOS versions.""ImmuniWeb sometimes shows previous scans instead of running tests.""It would be better if they had an automated tagging feature. The tagging functionality currently requires manual tagging, and that's probably the most needed feature from my standpoint. We also do not have enough tools, enough features, or options to display different resources in the way we need. There are basic grouping and some filtering features, but we still cannot fully separate some flavors of our resources. However, we may not be aware of the latest features."

More ImmuniWeb Cons →

"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us.""They should try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing.""The support could be faster.""The scanner reports a lot of false positives, which is something that needs to be improved.""There could be better management and faster scanning.""Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly.""The solution needs to adjust its pricing. They should make it more affordable.""The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The values of ImmuniWeb are currently significantly below what is valued in the Chilean market for these services and solutions."
  • "ImmuniWeb is relatively cheap. It's a competitive price compared to other products in the marketplace. It's worth the money we are paying for it."
  • "It is pretty expensive."
  • "It is pretty expensive."
  • "The platform is expensive if a large development is involved. However, it is less expensive for scheduled-based testing, quarterly or in a year."
  • "There should be the flexibility to change or add pricing, especially for pay-per-use cases."
  • "I use the product's free version. The tool costs around 229 dollars."
  • More ImmuniWeb Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​It is best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team, as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders​."
  • "Try the free trial of the product to understand the basic working mechanisms.​"
  • "Qualys has an IT-based licensing based on a yearly license, which is a good way of handling it. However, in some cases, when we do the PCI scanning, the host will not like the scanning and we lose the IT license. So, this could be improved."
  • "Licensing was based on the number of assets that you want to scan on your network. You can also do licensing on subscription. On subscription, it is easier and more flexible. You tell Qualys that you want to move from the 1000 to 2000 band or the 3000 or 5000 band, then they will give you the quotation for it. Once you pay for it, applying the licensing is quite easy and effective."
  • "Pricing was reasonable and competitive. It was not too far above the other products."
  • "The product is expensive, at least initially, in comparison to other products in this category."
  • "There are different options available with respect to licensing."
  • "The cost is $30,000 USD for one year to cover WAS (Web Application Security) and the VM (Virtual Machine) security in a company with 200 employees."
