It's more scalable and flexible than our previous solution because we don't need to install any agents
We use PingSafe for cloud security posture management. It's used for AWS use cases to prevent leaked credentials and unauthorized access to our S3 buckets.  Before PingSafe, we couldn't identify all of the hidden vulnerabilities on the endpoints. A manual approach was insufficient because we…

The solution is efficient, with easy implementation, and simple to use
Qualys VM is used for vulnerability scans for the internet and applications using application exchange. There are many applications. We also use the solution for asset management per team, and the network scan to discover the devices on our network We have an excellent relationship with the…

A straightforward solution for vulnerability scanning and monitoring containers
I'm not sure that I can accurately answer what needs improvement because my part of working was integrating. So, I believe the first week, I've never had a lot of problems with Red Hat as much as with the code or writing the programming. The APIs have more access to the data than the web UI. Like, I believe I can do more automatic things with APIs than the WebUI. Also, I can have filtering with more accuracy in APIs than the web UI. So, the aforementioned areas can be considered for improvement. I felt like working with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security's API, that it's more flexible than working directly with the web UI. The documentation about Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security available online is very limited. But now I remember that it's very limited because it was integrated, and they had bought it from another company. I forgot the name of the other solution. The documentation is an area to focus on because, for a new program, the same developers of the old solution start working at Red Hat Enterprise. So it's very limited to the documentation. It was because it has a straightforward user interface. So, they didn't add or put up some documentation about it except for installation, implementation, and configuration, of course. But, dealing so much with it was hard for me, considering my attempts to find documentation because it was a new product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."
"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"I am impressed with the tool's visibility."
"One of the most valuable features I found was the ability of this solution to map the network and show you the communication between your containers and your different nodes."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share resources."
"Segmentation is the most powerful feature."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring feature."
"The benefit of working with the solution is the fact that it's very straightforward...It is a perfectly stable product since the details are very accurate."
"I like virtualization and all those tools that come with OpenShift. I also like Advanced Cluster Management and the built-in security."
 

Cons

"The Infrastructure as Code service available in PingSafe and the services available in AWS cloud security can be merged so that we can get the security data directly from AWS cloud in PingSafe. This way, all the data related to security will be in one single place. Currently, we have to check a couple of things on PingSafe, and we have to validate that same data on the AWS Cloud to be sure. If they can collaborate like that, it will be great."
"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"We had a glitch in PingSafe where it fed us false positives in the past."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."
"The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement."
"It took us a while to configure the software to work well in this type of environment, as the support documents were not always clear."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"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."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"The solution's visibility and vulnerability prevention should be improved."
"The testing process could be improved."
"The tool's command line and configuration are hard for us to understand and make deployment complex. It should also include zero trust, access control features and database connectivity."
"Red Hat is somewhat expensive."
"The solution's price could be better."
"The deprecation of APIs is a concern since the deprecation of APIs will cause issues for us every time we upgrade."
"The documentation about Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security available online is very limited... So it's very limited to the documentation."
"The solution lacks features when compared to some of the competitors such as Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."
"It's very expensive, especially if you want to use multiple modules of Qualys."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"We purchase a yearly basis license for the solution."
"The pricing model is moderate, meaning it is not very expensive."
"Red Hat offers two pricing options for their solution: a separate price, and a bundled price under the OpenShift Platform Plus."
