"It gives you the ability to bring data into the system. The workflows are out of the box, and it gives you the ability to auto-assign the incidents based on criteria and vulnerabilities.""My favorite feature is the application vulnerability scanner.""The most valuable aspect of working with ServiceNow is its meaningful and feature-rich product.""The product has a very simple UI.""The "follow" feature is really good.

Cons
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud.""The reporting in this solution can be improved.""When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself.""The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated.""They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities.""There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys.""It's not very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.""Improve the API speed."

More Qualys VMDR Cons →

"The solution needs to make customization easier. You cannot do much customization immediately. It requires an extensive workload. If the customization process was user-friendly, it would be much better.""An area for improvement I observed in ServiceNow Security Operations is the need to maintain correct CMDB data because if you're unable to do this, you can't perfectly maintain the vulnerability data. CMDB data in ServiceNow Security Operations needs to be accurate. As I've been working on ServiceNow Security Operations for only seven months, I still need more time to try all its modules before I can give recommendations regarding additional features I'd like to see in the solution.""There are limitations for the third-parties that are providing the inputs. They should increase the robustness of the solution.""We'd like customization to be easier in terms of the UI and using the dashboards.""It is challenging for the customers to understand the processes for SecOps. It needs to be simplified.""They should stick to the roadmap and continue to build plugins and integrations with other third parties, enhance the UI, and enhance the reporting. It's all good. They should just continue enhancing the releases.""In future releases, I would like to add a follow-up and reminder feature. For the tickets in our queue, we could set reminders. This would help us prioritize older tickets before moving on to new ones.""The initial setup is difficult."
