Cons
"User management is a little bit clunky.""I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."

More Apiiro Cons →

"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately.""The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions.""I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space.""Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap.""Qualys VM should improve its methodology.""What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem.""I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities.""Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
