Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.
Ajay Paul - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Vulnerability management has prioritized high‑risk patching and simplified bulk system reporting
The primary issue is with the reporting functionality. Even though we fix vulnerabilities, the reports do not reflect the changes immediately. Sometimes we need to manually run a script to scan the systems before Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management will update the scan results. The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner. Additionally, there are many metrics for calculating vulnerabilities, such as the Qualys ID, severity scores, CVSS scores, and other metrics. The abundance of information can be confusing. These two aspects are the most significant negatives I have experienced with this tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We normally focus on Huntress."
"I like the solution's web application security for scanning, the solution is flexible with good integration."
"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 biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"If you are familiar with or have hands on experience with Qualys Asset Inventory, this is a better tool, as it will give you in-depth details of all the assets and the managing inventory will be better, and it will also give you advanced features compared to those of other inventory tools."
"The prioritization mechanism is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management is a very good software application to scan each and every vulnerability and, through that, it prevents the attackers from exploiting the systems, servers, or our data and prevents data leaks in short."
"This solution has provided information about existing vulnerabilities, and helped with quick remediation in case of global malware attacks."
"Qualys VMDR has positively impacted my organization by reducing vulnerability exposure time through faster detection and patching, and it has improved compliance reporting with accurate and up-to-date data."
 

Cons

"Adlumin Security Operations's functionality is probably slightly better, but implementation and integration with Office 365 was not as straightforward."
"Solution for fixing problems need to be better documented, such as in a step by step way."
"The reporting capabilities are good but I would like to be able to make more customized reports."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"One area of the product that could be improved is the management of vulnerabilities detected on disabled applications."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side, otherwise the operation is fine."
"The IoT scan is not great and we would like to see some improvements to it."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
