"It is a stable solution."
"Tech support is helpful."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"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."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"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."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"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."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"Security can always be improved."
