"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"The tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"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."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"Security can always be improved."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"Support could be faster."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
