Featured Reviews

Abimael Ferreira - PeerSpot reviewer
Security at Blaze Information Security
Centralized code analysis has improved my workflow and prioritizes critical vulnerabilities
Apiiro offers several features that I consider the best, such as the ability to have multiple developers and AppSec professionals working on the same project, and through the platform, we can see the number of vulnerabilities, generate reports, and integrate Snyk within our workflow. Before the code goes to production, Apiiro can read all that code and determine if everything is okay or if improvements are needed. The reports generated by Apiiro and its integration with Snyk contribute to my development process by giving us visibility into what is actually vulnerable, as automation like Apiiro makes it much easier to track vulnerabilities without spending too much time manually checking for issues, thus generating meaningful reports afterward. Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made. I found the accuracy and reliability of Apiiro's results to be very good, as it can predict issues based on its existing data.
Jay Buoy - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Security Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has improved visibility of asset risks and helped prioritize remediation across the environment
The quality at times of the technical support or customer support for Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is not as fast as what you would it to be. If you have an issue out there, I don't really know if it's so much related to the support or if you're going through your account manager also for the remediation. But that can be a little slow at times.There have been a couple of times where Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management wasn't accessible and I'd reach out to our TAM and they'd say, 'Qualys is down.' They say, 'We'll let you know when it's back up.' Of course, they never let you know when it's back up. You just keep trying later on and then eventually it comes back up. It's probably gone down maybe about five or six times since I've had it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The positive impact I have seen from working with Apiiro for my company includes the metrics that we get from Apiiro, which have been extremely helpful."
"Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made."
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"The support is extremely helpful, deserving a 10 out of 10 rating."
"The most valuable aspect we receive from Qualys is the remediation."
"Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management offers valuable features such as continuous vendor support, rapid response times, dedicated vendor partnerships, and advanced technical capabilities for risk identification."
"I mainly appreciate Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management for its patch management capabilities, which are essential in my job for deploying patches and remediating vulnerabilities."
"Authorized and unauthorized software visibility is the best feature for me. It helps me understand security controls on our network and where we lack visibility. With a single security tool, we are able to get an extensive list."
"With Qualys CSAM, we can see which assets have critical application vulnerabilities. This feature helps us prioritize and address these vulnerabilities more efficiently."
"Overall, I would give Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management a nine out of ten."
"I would rate Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"User management is a little bit clunky."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"The UI sometimes helps but can also be a bit confusing."
"One improvement that they can make in the EASM module is the scan frequency. After EASM is configured the first time, it allows you to do the complete configuration, but if you want to reconfigure it, it will not ask or provide any option for scan frequency. For that, you need to raise a case with Qualys and talk to the Qualys team."
"As of now, the support, results, and low false positives do not necessitate changes."
"Based on the company's budget, Qualys offers limited features, which can also be utilized in other environments."
"The main aspect that needs improvement is the user interface, which should be more intuitive."
"The scanning function could be improved."
"One downside of Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is that I would prefer to see a more interactive dashboard."
"We've received very poor guidance from them, especially after learning several things we need to fix during the Qualys conference."
"Sometimes both updates and software types appear together on one list, making it hard to differentiate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is cost-effective because, in a single tool, we are getting everything. All the solutions come in a single license or price."
"Qualys is competitively priced for its features. Its pricing is suitable for large organizations with more than 4,000 assets, but for smaller organizations with few assets, such as banks, the costs might be high. They should come up with packages that are suitable for small organizations."
"The pricing is market-competitive."
"The cost for Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is high."
"The pricing for Qualys CSAM is nominal."
"The pricing is fair. I would love to see the price come down a little bit, but we do get a lot of value out of it. We are squeezing every ounce of value we can out of the tool."
"The Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management pricing is well-aligned with our usage."
"Though the solution is considered expensive, if bundled with other services such as VMDR or cloud agents, its value would significantly increase. It is currently a bit costly, but with bundling, it could become attractive to more customers."
