Pros
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service has enough flexibility that we needed.""We deploy the solution in parts so we can easily manage the parts to improve the robustness and reliability of the software."

More IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Pros →

"Technical support is fantastic.""The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning.""I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring.""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.""What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good.""It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you.""Tech support is helpful.""The most valuable features of Qualys VM are its ability to do proper vulnerability assessment. It has a lot of updates for all the vulnerability databases from all over the globe. It's an amazing solution when it comes to the versatility of the features it has. Additionally, the reports are very good. It generates very detailed reports about the vulnerabilities inside the environment"

Cons
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service's log management should be improved because it is a bit complicated.""IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is not user-friendly, they could improve the user interface, and add more features to compete with Amazon AWS which is better."

More IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Cons →

"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time.""The reporting and the GUI need improvements.""The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow.""Qualys VM should improve its methodology.""It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating.""The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports.""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.""Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
