Has improved vulnerability detection efficiency but still requires better help desk integration
The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management. We don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because we have a university environment with multiple campuses in the region. In this scenario, the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system. It's quite seamless, and within the EDR dashboard, we can see the vulnerability of a device. In case of an attack or suspicious activity, we can map the vulnerabilities against that particular malicious activity. Although we don't need to deal directly with the machine learning part, it works quite efficiently, and the learning algorithms are also quite efficient in that perspective. Regarding automated asset discovery tools in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, it was previously very hard to identify which PCs and servers had EDR. Now with exposure management, it's very easy to identify which servers are not having EDR in our environment. We can identify unmanaged assets and managed assets very easily, and it helps us reduce risk within the environment. We found many critical servers that didn't have EDR before enabling exposure management. The central dashboard is helpful for our team to respond to threats faster. It is quite automated, and direct team involvement is very low. Many cases are automatically dealt with within CrowdStrike. The workflows are quite seamless and easy to define. In case of any vulnerability or malicious activity, it automatically contains a device and isolates a particular system from the environment. This way, the support team is not crowded with different tickets and false positives.

Comprehensive risk scanning has protected servers and improves monthly vulnerability remediation
Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management has a few things that need to be enhanced. First, there is the issue of superseded patches. Superseded means if we miss the current month patch, for example, if we miss the January patch to deploy on a particular server, Microsoft includes January changes in the second month security patch, and then the second month security patch includes all things in March. For example, if we miss two month patches and we directly deploy the March month security patch on a system, the other two patches, such as January and February, will be closed. Superseded means these patches are not deployed on a system, but after the latest one, which we already deployed, the older one does not need to be installed or deployed on a system. Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management takes a report of each and every vulnerability and shows that the January month patch was not deployed on a system and the February month patch was not deployed on a system. However, that is not a proper scanning method. If we have already deployed the latest patch that includes the older security things or older security parameters and the latest parameters, when we deploy that latest patch, why does Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management show the older patches also in potential vulnerabilities? That is a main factor that should be improved from Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management. Second, the remedies provided by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management are sometimes not useful most of the time. In that case, we need to troubleshoot or find out the remedies by ourselves. The remedies will also be something that needs to be improved in the system or in the application.

Pros

"I would also prefer CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management from a technical perspective because it has many more features and it is much more granular, and you can learn a lot from that."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management offers robust capabilities in EDR and cloud security terms."
"The most beneficial feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management is the security blocking, such as USB access and other .exe file auto runtime detection that sends alerts to us."
"The solution works smoothly with no scalability issues."
"The final dashboard is impressive from my perspective, and I think many other companies only show vulnerabilities on the endpoint, but CrowdStrike provides a better overview of the whole environment."
"The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management, and we don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system."
"Qualys is a very good tool for companies, and the different tools this brand offers bring all the necessary tools for good development for these companies."
"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."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management does not provide baselining based on CIS, NIST, ISO."
"We experienced one outage from CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management due to patch updating, which occurred three to four months ago. It was a global outage of services that caused Windows systems to crash after the package update."
"In CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, I am not entirely happy with the integrations, but to a certain point, it is good."
"They could enhance CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management with features such as identity protection and next-gen SIEM in the future."
"The solution should have more robust integration with different tools and technologies in the network to enhance its overall capability."
"We are not satisfied with their delayed responses to issues. They do not reply on time, and there are always some technical issues."
"When a customer does not have control over vulnerabilities or architecture and needs a solution that automates this function for the company, it can be difficult to identify the vulnerabilities."
"Second, the remedies provided by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management are sometimes not useful most of the time. In that case, we need to troubleshoot or find out the remedies by ourselves."
