"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."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"The feature we've liked most recently was being able to take the YARA rules from FireEye and put them into Tenable's scan for the most recent SolarWinds exploit. That was really useful."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"I find Tenable SC to be a very scalable product."
"It's a very useful tool."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"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."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"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."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
