Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.1
Qualys VMDR enhances security by detecting vulnerabilities, improving asset management, reducing breaches, and offering 30% time-cost savings.
Sentiment score
7.6
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security boosts productivity, improves threat detection, saves costs, and enhances security operations with seamless integration.
We saw a return on investment through significant savings in time, money, and resources.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Qualys VMDR's customer service is responsive and efficient, though some users report delays in response speed and troubleshooting.
Sentiment score
8.5
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers reliable support with quick response times, knowledgeable assistance, and effective issue resolution, despite occasional variations.
The response time takes a while.
The technical support provided by Qualys is pretty good.
When reaching out via email, they reply quickly.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Qualys VMDR offers scalable, flexible cloud-based architecture, praised for efficiency despite potential cost increases with higher usage.
Sentiment score
9.0
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers scalable, flexible cloud-based deployment, efficiently supporting various environments with seamless multi-tenancy and auto-scaling.
Scalability depends on the license and the number of assets being monitored.
Qualys VMDR can handle scalability, although increasing the inventory can raise the licensing costs.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Qualys VMDR is praised for stability and reliability, efficiently managing large scans with minor issues quickly resolved.
Sentiment score
8.4
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is reliable and stable, but some users note UI lag and communication challenges.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Room For Improvement

Qualys VMDR needs better reporting, UI, integration, asset management, reduced false positives, faster support, and enhanced features.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud requires better search, firewall, stability, legacy support, third-party integrations, UI, deployment, and resource education.
It does not automate patching unless the patch management module is purchased separately.
If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly.
The response time of technical support takes a while.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
 

Setup Cost

Qualys VMDR pricing is higher, flexible, and negotiable, with costs based on company size, assets, and features.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers competitive, customizable pricing, seen as cost-effective, especially against CrowdStrike, despite occasional higher costs.
I would rate the pricing between seven to eight out of ten.
I have a notion that Qualys might be more expensive than Rapid7.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
 

Valuable Features

Qualys VMDR excels in vulnerability management with automatic detection, seamless integration, real-time dashboards, and user-friendly deployment features.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud excels in usability, real-time detection, automated remediation, seamless integration, and enhances productivity with minimal false positives.
Qualys VMDR offers a one-stop solution for monitoring and reporting.
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent.
I like the automated report generation and vulnerability report generation.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.

Featured Reviews

Harold Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
