Featured Reviews

Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.
Ankesh Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time responses and reporting streamline vulnerability management
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent. It allows us to see real-time graphs and reports for every asset, server, and more, which is very user-friendly. Our clients have given good feedback, and they are satisfied with the tool. We use it daily to fix vulnerabilities by connecting with infrastructure to remediate. The feedback from the client side is very good.
Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."
"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."
"The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow it to identify and respond to threats in real time."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
 

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"Qualys VMDR should improve authenticated scanning capabilities."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly."
"We don't get any notifications from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security when the clusters are down."
"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"The pricing and licensing for Qualys could be improved."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
