We performed a comparison between Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is appealing to us due to its complexity, which aligns well with our requirements."
"I have enjoyed working with all the features."
"The most valuable features of AKS are rollback updates, high availability, easy management, speedy execution and deployment."
"The setup was straightforward and it took one hour to deploy."
"The product has built-in functionality that checks whether the service is available or not. In case the service is down, the tool will create a new instance by default. Hence, the web API will be always up irrespective of the server or the situation."
"AKS is easy to use. We can scale up and down as needed with AKS, which saves us money on our cloud costs."
"Integration and automation are the best features of the solution."
"The tool is budget-friendly."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"There is room for improvement in automation processes, as well."
"Its integration functions could be enhanced."
"The initial setup of AKS is complicated. The setup depends on the cluster, nodes, and lots of other things. There are also lots of extremely critical small devices. Moreover, you will have to pay them even while setting up the solution. It is not like you setup first and then pay for it."
"The technical support could be faster."
"AKS could enhance its functionality by introducing a blueprint feature that streamlines and expedites the process. With a blueprint, users can leverage pre-defined configurations, including some common survey elements, reducing the need for extensive customization and allowing us to focus on our core business activities. Additionally, if the blueprint covers security aspects, it would be greatly beneficial, as it eliminates the need for us to build security expertise from scratch. Currently, we encounter challenges during cloud onboarding, security implementation, and adapting to Kubernetes. Although Microsoft may not consider these as their direct responsibility, providing a blueprint similar to what they offer to developers would be highly advantageous."
"In terms of cost perspective, they could make the product more affordable."
"Sometimes, it fails to provide specific metrics."
"This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
