Good automation and analytics, but is costly
The report model was our main concern. I believe currently the solution uses a third party for the reporting. As part of a consulting firm, one of the challenges we face is the difficulty in producing reports that meet the expectations of our clients and customers. It would be beneficial if the focus could be shifted toward improving the reporting aspect. The impact report is a crucial aspect, as we only have one opportunity to create it. Galvanize HighBond can improve by generating more impact reports post-project, and allowing access to the reports using a web version, which would greatly benefit us. The cost of the solution is expensive and needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The most valuable feature of QualysGuard Policy Compliance is the automation that can detect real-time threats and decrease risks."
"The platform allows multiple features that are very useful. The first one is being able to define the enterprise policy. The second one is to be able to automatically check the compliance level based on that policy, and the third one is that it allows us to generate reports and dashboards to see the compliance level easily."
"The solution's interface looks good, which enhances asset scanning and ensures automatic patching."
"The reporting and security checks are valuable."
"It's a simple product."
 

Cons

"The cost of the solution is expensive and needs improvement."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"It would be good if the solution’s technical support could be faster."
"The policy creation aspect needs improvement."
"Some sort of education or knowledge base about the product would be beneficial for beginners."
"There is no clear mapping for the CIS controls in terms of how they should be implemented into Qualys, so the implementation stage might be a little bit challenging for the customer. That means that the customer will end up opening support cases, which will overload their support team to explain those. If they are somehow published somewhere, it would save time and effort for both sides."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the cost of the solution a six out of ten."
"The prices might be a little bit high. I cannot compare it with another product because we did not try any other product, but this is my impression when comparing different modules."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it is neither expensive nor very cheap."
