Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"The reporting is fine."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"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."
"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."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
