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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The reporting is fine."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"The customer support is very bad."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"The solution is expensive."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
