Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"It is a stable solution."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"Provides great functionality."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"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."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"There needs to be better documentation."
