Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Scales well and technical support is good, but it is expensive
The majority of our customers nowadays are looking forward to having cloud-based control models. However, some of our clients have to keep their data in their own data center in order to satisfy compliance. In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good. Overall, it is a very good product. That said, there are other tools that meet the feature requirements and are more cost-effective. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Real-time responses and reporting streamline vulnerability management
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent. It allows us to see real-time graphs and reports for every asset, server, and more, which is very user-friendly. Our clients have given good feedback, and they are satisfied with the tool. We use it daily to fix vulnerabilities by connecting with infrastructure to remediate. The feedback from the client side is very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"The interface is simple to use."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"Qualys VMDR provides us with a quick response to threat findings through regular scheduled scanning, which improves our security operations."
"Overall, the solution is highly rated because of its simplicity and efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
 

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"The user interface (UI) is quite complicated."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"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."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"The price is very reasonable."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000."
"The solution is costly."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
