Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The vulnerability analysis is the best aspect of the solution."
"The inventory management as well as the ability to identify security vulnerabilities has been the most valuable for our business."
"The most valuable feature is the unified JAR to scan for all langs (wss-scanner jar)."
"WhiteSource is unique in the scanning of open-source licenses. Additionally, the vulnerabilities aspect of the solution is a benefit. We don't use WhiteSource in the whole organization, but we use it for some projects. There we receive a sense of the vulnerabilities of the open-source components, which improves our security work. The reports are automated which is useful."
"The license management of WhiteSource was at a good level. As compared to other tools that I have used, its functionality for the licenses for the code libraries was quite good. Its UI was also fine."
"It gives us full visibility into what we're using, what needs to be updated, and what's vulnerable, which helps us make better decisions."
"WhiteSource helped reduce our mean time to resolution since the adoption of the product."
"I am the organizational deployment administrator for this tool, and I, along with other users in our company, especially the security team, appreciate the solution for several reasons. The UI is excellent, and scanning for security threats fits well into our workflow."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The simplicity of exporting reports and the simplicity and clarity of the reports included with the product are good."
"This product is designed for easy scalability and can easily scale up without major challenges."
"Key features include: Cloud-based, so the installation is not so tedious. Easily deployed. Highly scalable. Comprehensive reporting."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning has multiple features like threat protection and container security scanning in one box."
"It works with many different products."
"By using QualysGuard, we are able to finish external scans with assured results in half the time."
"Qualys WAS' most valuable features are the navigation flow of the UI and the option for a different layer of security (identification and operation through email and mobile)."
"The dashboard UI and UX are problematic."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Make the product available in a very stable way for other web browsers."
"Needs better ACL and more role definitions. This product could be used by large organisations and it definitely needs a better role/action model."
"The UI is not that friendly and you need to learn how to navigate easily."
"We specifically use this solution within our CICD pipelines in Azure DevOps, and we would like to have a gate so that if the score falls below a certain value then we can block the pipeline from running."
"At times, the latency of getting items out of the findings after they're remediated is higher than it should be."
"We have been looking at how we could improve the automation to human involvement ratio from 60:40 to 70:30, or even potentially 80:20, as there is room for improvement here. We are discussing this internally and with Mend; they are very accommodating to us. We think they openly receive our feedback and do their best to implement our thoughts into the roadmap."
"It should have better automatic reporting."
"The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs."
"The virus code updates are not frequent enough."
"The GUI could be a little less complicated as it opens a lot of new windows for creating search lists, templates, reports, or for scanning purposes."
"In certain cases, this product does have false positives, which the company should work on."
"The support could be faster."
"There could be better management and faster scanning."
"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."
