More CoreOS Clair Pros →

"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need.""The most valuable feature is the certificate management.""Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization.""The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product.""There are fewer false positives when using this solution.""The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it.""The most valuable feature is automation.""It is a stable solution."

Cons
"An area for improvement is that CoreOS Clair doesn't provide information about the location of vulnerabilities it detects."

More CoreOS Clair Cons →

"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it. Once you've deployed it, then you're never confident on the versions of the browsers and the SSL certificates, etc. You have to always go back into Qualys and check.""The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement.""The reporting and the GUI need improvements.""One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud.""The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports.""We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at.""The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow.""Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."

    Overview

    Clair is an open source project for the static analysis of vulnerabilities in appc and docker containers.

    Vulnerability data is continuously imported from a known set of sources and correlated with the indexed contents of container images in order to produce lists of vulnerabilities that threaten a container. When vulnerability data changes upstream, the previous state and new state of the vulnerability along with the images they affect can be sent via webhook to a configured endpoint. All major components can be customized programmatically at compile-time without forking the project.

    Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response (VMDR) is a cornerstone product of the Qualys TruRisk Platform and a global leader in the enterprise-grade vulnerability management (VM) vendor space. With VMDR, enterprises are empowered with visibility and insight into cyber risk exposure - making it easy to prioritize vulnerabilities, assets, or groups of assets based on business risk. Security teams can take action to mitigate risk, helping the business measure their actual risk exposure over time. 

    Qualys VMDR offers an all-inclusive risk-based vulnerability management solution to prioritize vulnerabilities and assets based on risk and business criticality. VMDR seamlessly integrates with configuration management databases (CMDB), Qualys Patch Management, Custom Assessment and Remediation (CAR), Qualys TotalCloud and other Qualys and non-Qualys solutions to facilitate vulnerability detection and remediation across the entire enterprise.

    With VMDR, users are empowered with actionable risk insights that translate vulnerabilities and exploits into optimized remediation actions based on business impact. Qualys customers can now aggregate and orchestrate data from the Qualys Threat Library, 25+ threat intelligence feeds, and third-party security and IT solutions, empowering organizations to measure, communicate, and eliminate risk across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
