Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
It has saved about 90% of our time.
TotalCloud has generated overall savings of 30 to 40 percent across various departments.
CallStream helps us integrate and automate tasks.
We estimate that, on average, Seemplicity saves us two full-time employees in the security team.
Seemplicity sort of multiplies maybe 4x what we would have to spend in terms of employee hiring or actual analysts to be able to triage and remediate these vulnerabilities.
I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization.
They are helpful, respond to my queries, and can answer any question.
Qualys's tech support is highly responsive, providing multiple ways to interact with them.
Qualys' customer service provides quality answers, but the response time is long, even though it is within the SLA.
I would rate the customer support a perfect 10 because they have consistently taken care of all requests from day one post-deployment.
If we need support, their team simply goes down the elevator and steps into our office.
Customer support for Seemplicity is quick to respond and provide feedback to any issues or feature requests.
We received support within one to three hours.
Whenever any issue arises, we contact the support, and they are always there for us.
The technical support is good yet could improve in terms of response time.
We started our organization about nine months back. We started with about 30 users, and we now have more than 100 users.
Our organization currently uses it to manage over 1200 web applications.
It is absolutely scalable, and I would rate its scalability as nine out of ten.
When it comes to the volume of data ingestion, I have never had any challenges with them, and they pretty much stick to what they promise.
In terms of being able to force multiply a team that we otherwise do not have by using their AI analysts, it has been super helpful.
They went from a Postgres database to a ClickHouse database and that gave me the capability to build a lot more charts on the fly.
Whether managing 50 servers today or 500 tomorrow, performance or capacity are not hindered.
Tenable Nessus is definitely scalable, especially for license formats designed for scalability.
Overall, the support provided has been excellent.
It is a stable solution, which is why we chose it.
Continuous monitoring is crucial to ensure system stability and avoid vulnerabilities or threats.
Seemplicity has been stable in the 12 to 14 months that we have been using it.
Seemplicity is quite accommodating, specifically if there is an issue with the platform, but also with requests for additional features and roadmap items.
We have not encountered any issues with missing network items or errors in API and webhook interactions.
The stability of Tenable Nessus is extraordinary.
Ideally, the scanner should automatically detect and scan all subdomains, even if not explicitly defined, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
Ideally, updates should be more immediate, enabling quicker implementation of solutions.
Our goal is to integrate all these functions into Qualys, creating a single dashboard for comprehensive security monitoring and management.
It would be nice if customers could perform the aggregation themselves on the spot to reduce that bottleneck.
There is room for improvement in a generic approach to queue management and more proactive collaboration with security analysts, developers, and infrastructure teams on tickets.
With the introduction of AI and agentic AI and more involvement in day-to-day tasks, it would be great if this platform starts remediating the vulnerabilities as well.
This is Tenable's property. They want to sell Tenable Security Center, and they closed all the API capability for Tenable Nessus Professional.
An AI feature that helps them discover options without requiring them to deep dive into all features or guides them through advisory functions would be beneficial.
The documentation is not well-organized, which can be confusing when searching for solutions or specific information related to Tenable Nessus Professional.
Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive.
Pricing is managed by our finance team; however, Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility.
Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches.
Pricing and licensing were straightforward, and we had direct discussions with the CEO of the company, which allowed us to arrive at a price point that worked for both sides.
Licensing was clear and predictable; I appreciate there being no surprise costs creeping in after the fact, especially as someone who has to plan budgets.
They did not come to us with a take-it-or-leave-it price; they sat down with us.
The pricing for Tenable Nessus has increased significantly, tripling over the last few years.
Tenable Nessus's pricing is adequate if it is fully utilized.
When we compare it to other solutions, it is more difficult for us to negotiate the price for Tenable Nessus than to negotiate the price with Rapid7.
This view of risk helps reduce the work we would have to do to combine multiple sources to prioritize risk.
It will help cybersecurity professionals monitor the cloud and find vulnerabilities.
We are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs.
One is the option to deduplicate alerts between security platforms, which is something we do not have the capability for anywhere else.
The biggest impact Seemplicity has had on my organization is turning what used to be a fragmented, manual process into something structured and accountable.
It helps us accelerate the amount of time it takes to remediate and patch those systems and ensure that those systems are essentially secure and not vulnerable to exposure.
I mostly use the configuration audit feature for the audit configuration as a scan policy, and I will use it for credential audit, which helps me scan credentials access such as local administrator or root access, performing a deeper and more accurate check of local configuration settings and file systems, making it a highly recommended feature.
The scanning and reporting features are the most valuable aspects of Tenable Nessus.
The most valuable features of Tenable Nessus include its ease of access and quick usability.
