We performed a comparison between Qualys VMDR and Skybox Security Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature is automation."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"The reporting is fine."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"Provides great functionality."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"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 shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"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."
"instead of asking for firewall rules which may or may not be relevant, or could already be there, or could be over-permissioned, Skybox can be used to map out the resources that that application is going to use and provide the exact rules that an application would require to function correctly. If the traffic isn't able to flow for the application, if it's erring out, Skybox can be used to troubleshoot that and say, "All right, where is the traffic being stopped and why, and how do I fix that.""
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"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 simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"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 support could be improved."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
