Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Qualys VM is very stable."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it. Once you've deployed it, then you're never confident on the versions of the browsers and the SSL certificates, etc. You have to always go back into Qualys and check."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
