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.
Harold Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility but expensive and needs better support
Support: It's often overseas and often following a script, basically asking us to redo what we opened the case with. Multiple APIs: There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys. We had to use manual inputs and some API calls to get items in place. Dashboard: It is very rudimentary with very little customization. The Qualys Scripting Language (QSL) works differently in different Qualys modules, so when you get it working in one area you have to modify the syntax in others. User account management: We often have to give users more rights than needed just to give them what they need. Integration with the various Qualys Modules: You can tell the UI is different based on of the different teams that created them. QSL syntax same in all modules Responsiveness of some of the components: They time out, you get a blank screen, etc. Backend updates between the various modules: You update connectors and information takes a few minutes to show in VMDR or Global Asset View Connectors: Connectors have a throttling issue with AWS which causes them to frequently fail unless you manually run them again.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"It allowed us to divide tasks easily among teammates, significantly improving efficiency."
"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need."
"The reporting is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks."
"Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent."
"Our engineers save quite a bit of time that was previously spent on manual processes."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"We can check and analyze the current status of our firewall rules."
"Comparing the rules and policy browser is valuable to me. It gives me the ability to pull running configs and be able to analyze them without having to go directly into the firewall."
"The policy overview is valuable."
"My team uses it heavily to audit the changes made by junior engineers, going back and figuring out what they messed up, and correcting their mistakes. We generate reports for customer compliance and audits, as well as for regulatory audits."
"I like the deployment and management of this solution."
"The stability is bulletproof."
 

Cons

"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 would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"The tool needs to improve the adding assets and report generation features. I would like to see the policy scan of offline appliances in the product's future releases."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"I would like to see more about the cloud in the next release. They need a large plan to deploy the cloud into the solution and a way to implement it."
"Lacks ability to create a Terraform that would enable deployment without manual steps."
"We use a lot of inline rules, and it would be beneficial to see those from within Tufin."
"The pricing could be a bit more competitive."
"There are pros and cons to the workflow. You cannot customize it fully and there are some limitations. You cannot create a pure object, a firewall, IP, or service (single layer) object. You can only create a firewall object group. That is one of the challenges."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"While Tufin is suitable for small businesses, issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic."
"I would like an improved reporting module which can be flexible (custom reports) and allow us to generate our own reports, because the data is already there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing and licensing for Qualys could be improved."
"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."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"The solution is costly."
"The license is on a yearly basis."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."
