Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"I find Qualys VM very robust, and it's very useful for vulnerability management and patch management. The value that it brings to my environment is economies of scale. There is no limitation on adding any endpoints. You go by the rule, and it's added once another endpoint is added to our environment. It's automatically installed, and it's less work from our end. It frees up my license automatically if I don't need an endpoint or if my machine is decommissioned. I like the dashboard displays because I don't see any duplication. The most important part is vulnerability management and prioritization. Unlike Symantec, it shows the kind of vulnerability I would want to patch first. It provides a holistic view of the kind of vulnerabilities and the ones I should remediate first. I don't have to do a scan; it just brings up those critical kinds of vulnerabilities like zero-day vulnerabilities and tells me to prioritize them. You have to prioritize these vulnerabilities first and go on with the rest. The dashboard shows me the ones that have been fixed, so I don't have to complete an aging report. The user experience and the graphical interface are good. As it's user-friendly and understandable on an executive level, it brings real value. We also use this solution because it's robust and flexibile."
"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 Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability. The solution also has good KB articles that make it simple for users to do the deployment of Skyhigh Security themselves, without the need for integrators."
"The stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and easy to perform."
"It's an easy-to-use product."
"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."
"It's a great product with solid features."
"There is [a feature] called cloud registry where we can see a risk assessment for the cloud services being used. If we want to add a new cloud service or a new cloud application, we can check into it and do an assessment through the cloud registry."
"The product has a very high rating from reviewers. It's a well-respected product."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"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."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"McAfee needs to add more products that could be managed from the cloud."
"An area for improvement in Skyhigh Security is its UI. It needs to be enhanced and made more user-friendly. Right now, the UI of Skyhigh Security is sometimes confusing. For example, my company is deploying Skyhigh Security for a client and integrating it on the cloud, from an on-premises deployment to a hybrid deployment. Though the experience isn't bad, there needs to be more enhancements. Another room for improvement in Skyhigh Security is the limited training resources, especially when you compare it with Cisco, which has many study materials in the market, even free training resources. You'll get limited resources if you search for Skyhigh Security tutorials on Google and YouTube. Because of high-security requirements and the training material for Skyhigh Security not being available, most engineers and architects avoid the product because there'd be a lack of knowledge in configuring and achieving the goals you'd want to reach via the use of Skyhigh Security. The NOC team deploying the product is having difficulty getting training resources for Skyhigh Security. You'll be charged an enormous amount if you search the market for training because of the limited resources available. Skyhigh Security needs to work on marketing and awareness as an improvement to the product."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"There isn't really any aspect that is lacking."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The secure gateway could be improved."
"Its initial setup could be more straightforward."
