More Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) Cons →
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"The customer support is very bad."
"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."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
