Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"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."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"We use Network Assurance for network visualisation and troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature is the compliance, whether it's access compliance or the configuration compliance, to make sure that all of our devices are configured as they're supposed to be, to limit access as much possible, to follow least-access guidelines."
"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"I think that compliance checks and policy compliance are the product's good features."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"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."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"The support could be improved."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI. The user interface has historically been via a locally installed thick client. They are moving to a web-based console and it's slowly coming out."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
