Room For Improvement

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management seeks improvements in integration, customization, performance, user interface, access control, and support resources.
Trend Vision One needs improvements in accuracy, integration, UI, automation, support, and technical features like AI and security tools.
Qualys is currently not able to identify assets lacking DNS information.
Features enhancing the interaction with IT or security teams should be added, such as a ticketing feature that, if an issue arises in the CSAM module, enables direct ticket creation in systems like ServiceNow.
We would prefer more options, such as 'approved only for pilot' or 'approved for this line of business,' allowing for better granularity in categorizing software.
The deployment can be complex, and we'd like an easier process, especially when integrating with on-prem and cloud environments.
For XDR threat investigation, there is not enough documentation about how to search for different keywords.
There is increasingly a blending of the traditional OT world, which requires a specific focus, as OT devices often don't use standard Ethernet protocols and similar technologies.
 

Setup Cost

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management offers transparent, flexible pricing, ideal for large enterprises, but may be costly for smaller firms.
Trend Vision One's pricing is seen as competitive, flexible, with discounts, but complex for smaller organizations compared to rivals.
A cost-effective solution.
A monthly subscription starting at approximately $72 per month, depending on the specific package and features included.
Though the solution is considered expensive, if bundled with other services such as VMDR or cloud agents, its value would significantly increase.
I find the credit model non-transparent—you can't always tell how many licenses apply to which product.
I have seen others that are double or triple the price.
Trend Vision One offers a competitive price-to-value ratio.
 

Valuable Features

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management offers dynamic tagging, real-time visibility, vulnerability prioritization, and automated scanning for comprehensive security management.
Trend Vision One enhances security with AI-driven threat detection, real-time monitoring, user-friendly interface, and robust integration capabilities.
By correlating this with QDS scores, we can accurately assess the risk level of high or low QDS scores associated with each asset and monitor them accordingly.
The most valuable feature is the real-time visibility Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management provides into all assets across our development and operational environments.
It also performs scans to identify any vulnerabilities, which helps to take proactive measures before those vulnerabilities are identified by any attacker.
The most important features of Vision One include visibility, AI integration, attack pattern analysis, predictive analytics, and centralized visibility and management across protection layers.
The most critical feature of Vision One is that it gives us a single console for threat management.
Its ability to identify unmonitored endpoints and perform log inspection, which establishes operational baselines and detects anomalies, proves invaluable for threat identification.

Featured Reviews

Scott Frederick - PeerSpot reviewer
Well-integrated with our vulnerability scanning utilities and efficient in asset tagging and identification
Our favorite features are the tagging and the ability to quickly find assets in the portal. Additionally, I do like the fact that Qualys CSAM is integrated with the rest of our vulnerability scanning utilities. We use the full suite from Qualys. The fact that it is integrated makes it very easy to understand. It shares tagging information with VMDR. That is very nice. Qualys CSAM has discovered assets not previously covered by our vulnerability management program. Primarily, if we have assets without vulnerabilities, they become less visible, but Qualys CSAM alerts us to them because they have IP addresses and are attached to our network. It could discover everything from printers to servers to endpoints. It could discover UPSs, network devices, and across all operating systems. It discovers our security badge readers and digital signage. We have to feed that the IP address ranges, but beyond that, it finds everything in our internal network. We were able to realize its benefits within the first quarter of installing it. We did have to take some time to learn it and understand how to operationally leverage what it was telling us, but it was very quick. In addition to vulnerabilities, Qualys CSAM helps identify other risk factors to a degree. For instance, we can see if servers or assets have incorrect naming standards. We have our network segmented into development model, test, and production, and we have server naming standards that identify which management they should be in. If a production server has the naming standard of a development model server, we can find that. That is one area we have used it for. We are not fully using TruRisk, but we are using the Qualys detection score that is central to our corporate risk prioritization approach. It has completely replaced our homegrown one.
Dennis Niedling - PeerSpot reviewer
The CREM feature is an absolutely essential feature that helps us meet security requirements
Since we started using Trend Vision One, we've been able to enhance our security posture significantly. Trend Vision One has improved significantly over time in providing centralized visibility and control. It started as a set of individual products, but now it feels like one integrated solution. This reduces the need for interfaces or multiple analysis tools. That's why we pursued the one-platform strategy. Trend Vision One has definitely helped consolidate our use of security vendors. We previously used standalone products for endpoint and email protection that weren't integrated. Now, we get the benefits of an integrated solution. I'd estimate we're 50–70% better in security now than we were two years ago. The Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)feature is absolutely essential. Even though we're not critical infrastructure, the NIS2 directive gives us security guidelines. CREM helps us meet these requirements. It is very important to our organization that Trend Vision One integrates AI into the platform. Pattern recognition in forensic data is no longer manageable by humans due to the volume of events. Machine learning is essential to process these and filter what needs human attention. Trend Vision One has improved our organization significantly. Security tasks used to be manual. Now, technology prevents issues or supports staff in detecting them. This shift from manual to technical solutions greatly increased our security. Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats. I'd say we're 80% faster than before. The platform gives us consolidated data upfront, so we don't have to search for event clues manually. Trend Vision One has helped reduce false alarms. I'd estimate a 50–60% time saving. We have more alerts now than years ago, but also better systems to handle them, making the whole process more efficient. Trend Vision One has helped reduce our cyber risk overall. We now know where gaps are before they become problems, whereas in the past we had to guess. That's a massive improvement. When it comes to operations, the CREM solution helps us identify vulnerabilities in systems. If we patch them, they disappear from the reports—this gives us actionable insights, which is incredibly helpful. It took about half a year to realize the benefits of Trend Vision One after implementation.
