We performed a comparison between Qualys VMDR and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
"It is a stable solution."
"We also like the flexibility in their licensing."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool."
"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."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
