Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."It's stable and quite reliable."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"Provides great functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"After a proper implementation, the maintenance is very low."
"Zscaler Internet Access's best feature is the granular policy controls."
"The data loss prevention feature is the most valuable. It stops our users from inadvertently leaking our customers' data to the Internet or anywhere else it shouldn't go."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Internet Access is that it is a consolidated solution, it comes with many features, such as DLP."
"SSL inspection is a valuable feature."
"Zscaler Web Security protects our users in remote locations from internet threats - even if they are not connected to our network."
"Overall, we're very happy with our product."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"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."
"Zscaler should provide adjacent services, which would be complementary to their current offering that could to be more pragmatic for a customer. For example, if you take Akamai, you get multiple sets of services, all depending on the customer and the strategy and the complexity and the problems. In some areas, they are more varied in terms of coverage."
"They could provide more time for the onboarding the training of an IT person."
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
"It also needs better integration with other applications as well. There are some restrictions."
"Another thing that I would like to see is if Zscaler could have a separate product for direct access. I looked at a private access solution, but I understand there's a separate product that isn't integrated with this."
"One thing that they could improve is the ability to import rules from other platforms."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution can be improved by advancing some of the newer technologies such as the DLP feature, and adding email security."
