It has a lot of updates for all the vulnerability databases from all over the globe. It's an amazing solution when it comes to the versatility of the features it has. Additionally, the reports are very good. It generates very detailed reports about the vulnerabilities inside the environment""I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth.""The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it.""I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring.""The reporting functionality is great."

Cons
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports.""Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time.""Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards.""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.""Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools.""I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud.""Could use additional security for the app.""Improve the user interface."

More Qualys VMDR Cons →

"You can integrate Skyhigh's rules with Active Directory groups. For example, you can allow access to a specific website for a defined set of users. I can do that, but the rules are not straightforward. It can look up the group in Active Directory. However, it doesn't always find the proper group name. The rule configuration should be simpler and more granular. The admin should be able to map 80 groups in the rules quickly.""The virtual solution requires improvement.""It is an expensive solution.""It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use.""The documentation could be improved.""The services take some time to load. It would be helpful if the loading time was reduced.""The Skyhigh for Google Drive interface and policy engine is a bit confusing and limited when compared against other Google Drive CASB capabilities.""Support for securing more cloud apps."
