Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no 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 stable and quite reliable."
"They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"The solution has reduced cyberattacks."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Internet Access are it's on the cloud, high network performance, and the interception of users is very easy."
"We use ZIA for outbound internet connectivity. The internet traffic of on-prem users will be directed to the ZIA cloud for security checks and web filtering."
"The solution replaces multiple vendor technologies with one which makes it worth the cost."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"For our needs, the cloud-native proxy architecture is a very good solution. We are moving away from on-prem appliances and moving more toward cloud-based solutions. Zscaler is a good fit for our strategy. This architecture helps with cyber threats because we inspect most of the traffic and we can see that a lot of threats are stopped directly in the secure web gateway."
"One on the main benefits is protection all time from anywhere."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"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."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"They could provide more time for the onboarding the training of an IT person."
"In terms of user experience, it could be better."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"Do not expect to pay for the service and start using it, like Gmail. Zscaler requires a proper implementation to be done to make it successful."
"Zscaler Internet Access's troubleshooting is very limited, and their textbook logs need to be more informative."
"There are a few features that are not compatible with the Azure cloud."
"The OS capabilities and WSL support could be improved."
"The tool should improve the predefined dictionaries."
