JL
Vice President Of Security Architecture And Engineering at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
Unified vulnerability data has reduced risk and currently cuts duplicate tools and license costs
Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time. I had to do some of that manually via manual reports, but Seemplicity already has a feature request for this. Seemplicity has done a pretty good job of keeping up with integrations. One gap that I identified and that Seemplicity is trying to fill now is having a complete end-to-end mapping. Seemplicity currently looks at the external attack surface using tools like Censys, and then looks at the internal side, examining what is in AWS and other clouds using CSPM. However, there is not anything that currently ties a property on the outside to a system on the inside, especially when you have additional security layers like web application firewalls that actually mitigate the risk.

IT Director at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Vulnerability insights have reduced exposure and guide my team to prioritize remediation effectively
The best features of CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management are vulnerability management and providing remediation for the vulnerabilities, continuously doing external scanning on my IPs, and also reporting vulnerabilities on them. It speeds things up for my team because CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management continuously looks for vulnerabilities on my endpoints and servers as well as my external IPs, and then my team is able to use the report to take action on them, either remediate them or patch them. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management has increased and improved my security posture, and my open vulnerability count is now at a minimum due to the effectiveness of it. My monthly vulnerabilities have come down by around 80% on a regular basis. Within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, it gives a good overview; the dashboard is pretty helpful because it breaks down vulnerabilities based on severity, remediation, and which are actionable. My team is able to use that information to take action on a regular basis. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management's exposure management dashboard provides much detail and insights into the vulnerabilities that are identified as well as what the root cause is for the vulnerability on the affected endpoint, and also provides remediation steps. I find it very useful, and my team does as well. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management does a really good job in identifying vulnerabilities as well as breaking it down by severity as well as available remediations. It improves my security stack as well as my security posture.
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.
