"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us."
"They should try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly."
