Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Good reporting functionalities.""JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning.""I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes.""If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first.""The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy.""JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code.""The solution is stable and reliable."

More JFrog Xray Pros →

"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities.""The most valuable feature is automation.""This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system.""The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks.""I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring.""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."

Cons
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things.""JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard.""The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance.""Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs.""Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool.""JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved.""I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."

More JFrog Xray Cons →

"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools.""The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement.""It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution.""What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem.""They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities.""Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once.""It is more expensive vs. other products on the market.""The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
