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."It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks."
"The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"Change Manager is most important because of the impact on each other of a network change or a firewall change. We want to understand this and to know, beforehand, what the impact of a change will be. We are a large network so that is a very important tool."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"I think that compliance checks and policy compliance are the product's good features."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"The price could be cheaper."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
