A stable solution that can be used for infrastructure vulnerability scanning and web application scanning

Pros

"Qualys Web Application Scanning has multiple features like threat protection and container security scanning in one box."

"Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly."

Scans web applications to identify vulnerabilities but need better support

Pros

"It scans web applications to identify vulnerabilities during deployment. "

Cons

"It is unclear how to build automation on Qualys. We do some automation, but not fully, because working is difficult."

Operates as a DAST tool, examining the application from an external perspective to identify security issues

Pros

"The vulnerability management feature is a strong one. And also the patch management feature."

Cons

" There's a distinction between internal and external scanning processes that could be streamlined. Currently, for internal scanning, specific configurations and scanner appliances need to be deployed within the network, which differs from the simpler setup for external scans. This dual process complicates the setup for comprehensive scanning coverage."

Scans the website with continuous monitoring and has an easy deployment

Pros

"The tool links vulnerabilities with DDIs and gives a complete overview of the application. The continuous monitoring capability is good."

Cons

"We have many websites. We don't force scanning on all of them at once because it's taking some time."

Thorough detection, good visual interface, scalable

Pros

"I have found the detection of vulnerabilities tool thorough with good results and the graphical display output to be wonderful and full of colors. It allows many types of outputs, such as bar and chart previews."

Cons

"When comparing this solution to Veracode, Veracode has good interactive features and gives a clear understanding of what the vulnerabilities are, which error line of the vulnerability is on and what can be done. It gives interactive features, whereas this solution does not give a clear understanding of where or how to fix the problem."

Easy to use for detection of WAS and VM vulnerabilities

It combines both web application vulnerability management and internal vulnerability management on one platform and dashboard

Pros

"It combines both web application vulnerability management and internal vulnerability management on one platform and dashboard. Usually, you have to purchase separate tools."

Cons

"The area of false positives could be improved. There are quite a number of false positives as compared to other solutions. They could probably fine tune the algorithm to be able to reduce the number of false positives being detected."
