We performed a comparison between Qualys VMDR and Skybox Security Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"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."
"Key features for us include the firewall change audit every week. Also, being able to track firewall ACL usage, so that we can produce semiannual reports on ACL usage and shadowed and redundant rules on the firewall."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"The ability to appropriately prioritize vulnerabilities inside the environment, and then to have visibility into the traffic and rule sets of an organization, are two of the top capabilities that I recommend. Skybox is the only one that does both of those in a single platform."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"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."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
