Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."
"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."
"The most valuable features of Red Canary MDR are its modeled after the MITRE ATT&CK framework and we can easily automate the containment of the endpoint. Additionally, it is easy to use and we have never had an issue with it."
"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"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."
"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."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."
"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."
"The price could always be better."
"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."
"There should be an easier way to update agents to new levels in Red Canary MDR. However, it is not a huge issue but it would help."
