Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The reporting is fine."
"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"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 Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"The solution replaces multiple vendor technologies with one which makes it worth the cost."
"The security is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Internet Access are it's on the cloud, high network performance, and the interception of users is very easy."
"Zscaler covers all the features needed to replace a VPN or proxy solution. They are good. They've been on the market for 15 years now, so they are mature enough."
"The initial setup was straightforward. The biggest thing for us was to build our own policies. The deployment itself was only a few hours."
"For our needs, the cloud-native proxy architecture is a very good solution. We are moving away from on-prem appliances and moving more toward cloud-based solutions. Zscaler is a good fit for our strategy. This architecture helps with cyber threats because we inspect most of the traffic and we can see that a lot of threats are stopped directly in the secure web gateway."
"Zscaler Internet Access's roaming user feature is most valuable and is much better compared to other secure web gateways."
"The best thing about Zscaler Internet Access is the website filtering. In the UAE it's quite an important feature because most of the malware comes through the SQL injection and through downloads from websites. Zscaler helps protect against that."
"Improve the API speed."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"The customer support is very bad."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"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."
"Currently, the solution's interface is not that user-friendly."
"The tool should improve the predefined dictionaries."
"The reporting functionality could be a bit easier to use. There is a reporting function, but it's quite hard to do any good reporting, from a user-management perspective. For example, if a department manager wants to know how his department is using the web, there is a way to get the data, but it's quite cumbersome to get it and show it well. And that's true for comparing between departments."
"The solution can be improved by advancing some of the newer technologies such as the DLP feature, and adding email security."
"The OS capabilities and WSL support could be improved."
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"Cloud App’s database should be improved."
