Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues

Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

An enterprise-level solution with amazing stability, integration capability, and support

Its integration capability is amazing. One thing about every single solution or product in the containerization or DevOps world is that it helps to integrate really well because we are not talking about one use case here. We are talking about multiple use cases. When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that. That's where every product has room to improve. Whether it's Mirantis, Docker, or even the other vendor that we work with called Sysdig, all of these organizations always strive to be extremely secure, and that is something that they are working towards every day. That's because the kind of problems that are being faced today will not be similar to what comes tomorrow. There will be a hundred new threats. It's an ongoing journey when it comes to security.

Harold Jensen

Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at 3M Health Information Systems

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

"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"

"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."

"I like CSPM the most. It captures a lot of alerts within a short period of time. When an alert gets triggered on the cloud, it throws an alert within half an hour, which is very reasonable. It is a plus point for us."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has saved up to 50 percent in engineering time."

"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."

"PingSafe offers comprehensive security posture management."

"It saves time, makes your environment more secure, and improves compliance. PingSafe helps with audits, ensuring that you are following best practices for cloud security. You don't need to be an expert to use it and improve your security."

"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"Now it is easier to set up the development environment and also to test the applications on the pipelines."

"Mirantis Container Cloud operates similarly to how we interact with databases. It provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and managing containerized applications across cloud environments."

"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"I like the automation in deployment. I can deploy whenever I want based on the environment, and I can easily roll back to a previous version for testing."

"Very easy solution to use as it is intuitive."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

"The UI is very useful."

"The product is easy to use."

More Mirantis Container Cloud pros

"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."

"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Overall, the solution is highly rated because of its simplicity and efficiency."

"The most valuable feature is the QID part, especially of CentralList, which makes it easy to assess new critical vulnerabilities."

"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."

"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."

More Qualys VMDR pros

Cons

"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."

"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."

"One potential drawback is the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, which may be prohibitive for smaller businesses or startups, particularly those in regions with lower average incomes, such as India."

"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."

"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."

"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."

"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."

"Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"It would be very nice to have a GUI that can be used by any administrator, and not just people who have experience with Docker."

"Sometimes the basic support is a bit difficult if you have a firewall and cloud servers behind the firewall and then try to implement the backup solution, it is a bit difficult to do by yourself."

"There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."

"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."

"When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that."

"I find Docker easier to use, but I gave it to an inexperienced developer and it took him a lot of time to understand."

"The solution's stability could be improved."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

More Mirantis Container Cloud cons

"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."

"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."

"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."

"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."

"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."

"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."

"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."

"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."

"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."

"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."

"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."

"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."

"The tool is cost-effective."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The product is not expensive."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."

"We use the free version of this solution."

"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."

"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."

"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."

More Mirantis Container Cloud pricing and cost advice

"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."

"The solution is costly."

"The tool's pricing is expensive and I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The pricing and licensing for Qualys could be improved."

"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."

"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."

"I used to work there, so I never paid for the product. As an employee, we get a lifetime license for personal use, and that's what I'm using. It is a comprehensive platform, so there is a lot more to it. There could be other solutions that are probably a little bit cheaper, but it depends on what people need. Different people have different needs. It offers many things on the same platform. If you add all the things up, it should be cheaper, but I have not done any analysis specifically."

"The solution is expensive."
