Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, Microsoft and others in Container Security."They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"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."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"Threat Stack has connectivity."
"Every other security tool we've looked is good at containers, or at Kubernetes, is good at AWS, or at instance monitoring. But nobody is good at tying all of those things together, and that's really where Threat Stack shines."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The number-one feature is the monitoring of interactive sessions on our Linux machines. We run an immutable environment, so that nothing is allowed to be changed in production... We're constantly monitoring to make sure that no one is violating that. Threat Stack is what allows us to do that."
"It has been quite helpful to have the daily alerts coming to my email, as well as the Sev 1 Alerts... We just went through a SOX audit and those were pivotal."
"An important feature of this solution is monitoring. Specifically, container monitoring."
"It is scalable. It deploys easily with curl and yum."
"We like the ability of the host security module to monitor the processes running on our servers to help us monitor activity."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The solution’s ability to consume alerts and data in third-party tools (via APIs and export into S3 buckets) is moderate. They have some work to do in that area... The API does not mimic the features of the UI as far as reporting and pulling data out go. There's a big discrepancy there."
"The compliance and governance need improvement."
"Some features do not work as expected."
"The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great."
"The API - which has grown quite a bit, so we're still learning it and I can't say whether it still needs improvement - was an area that had been needing it."
"They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter."
"It shoots back a lot of alerts."
"I would like further support of Windows endpoint agents or the introduction of support for Windows endpoint agents."
