Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Harold Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility but expensive and needs better support
Support: It's often overseas and often following a script, basically asking us to redo what we opened the case with. Multiple APIs: There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys. We had to use manual inputs and some API calls to get items in place. Dashboard: It is very rudimentary with very little customization. The Qualys Scripting Language (QSL) works differently in different Qualys modules, so when you get it working in one area you have to modify the syntax in others. User account management: We often have to give users more rights than needed just to give them what they need. Integration with the various Qualys Modules: You can tell the UI is different based on of the different teams that created them. QSL syntax same in all modules Responsiveness of some of the components: They time out, you get a blank screen, etc. Backend updates between the various modules: You update connectors and information takes a few minutes to show in VMDR or Global Asset View Connectors: Connectors have a throttling issue with AWS which causes them to frequently fail unless you manually run them again.
Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Authenticated scans provide different options, including those using or not using the FactSet and adding option profiles."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"It gives you a lot of options, and it integrates with our ServiceNow for ticketing and all."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"The reporting is fine."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."
"The features that stand out are threat detection using advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning, helping to identify and respond to threats in real-time."
"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."
"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow it to identify and respond to threats in real time."
 

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."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"A beneficial improvement for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"They can work on policies based on different compliance standards."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"We don't get any notifications from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security when the clusters are down."
"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity."
"The documentation could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"The solution is costly."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"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."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."
"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."
"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
