"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of 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."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
