Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The most valuable feature of Pentera is that you can do continuous vulnerability assessment, which is automated."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better."
"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The reporting is fine."
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful."
"There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."
"The price could be improved."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
