Pros
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""The product is easy to use.""I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments.""Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition.""The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."

"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth.""Tech support is helpful.""I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made.""It's stable and quite reliable.""The most valuable feature is automation.""The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning.""Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem.""There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."

Cons
"The solution is a bit expensive.""The stability of the scans could be improved.""The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier.""It would be better if the solution is cloud-based.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more.""There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives.""There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space.""Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles.""The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated.""It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution.""Certain integration factors between different options could be improved.""The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports.""I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution.""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."
