Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."The vulnerability management feature is a strong one. And also the patch management feature."
"It is a good product for website penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities."
"Its most valuable features are patch management, vulnerability management, and PCI compliance."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the progressive scan. It is good. It's done in 24 hours."
"QualysGuard web-based scanner is very useful for performing external penetration and PCI scans from remote locations."
"Qualys WAS' most valuable features are the navigation flow of the UI and the option for a different layer of security (identification and operation through email and mobile)."
"I have found the detection of vulnerabilities tool thorough with good results and the graphical display output to be wonderful and full of colors. It allows many types of outputs, such as bar and chart previews."
"It is easy to use."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"There's a distinction between internal and external scanning processes that could be streamlined. Currently, for internal scanning, specific configurations and scanner appliances need to be deployed within the network, which differs from the simpler setup for external scans. This dual process complicates the setup for comprehensive scanning coverage."
"There could be better management and faster scanning."
"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us."
"The solution needs to adjust its pricing. They should make it more affordable."
"In certain cases, this product does have false positives, which the company should work on."
"The area of false positives could be improved. There are quite a number of false positives as compared to other solutions. They could probably fine tune the algorithm to be able to reduce the number of false positives being detected."
"We receive false positives sometimes when using a solution that could be improved. However, the technical team provides us with the exact explanation why it was giving us that kind of error."
"The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
