Qualys VMDR and Sysdig Secure compete in the vulnerability management and cloud-native security markets. Qualys VMDR seems to have the upper hand in vulnerability management, while Sysdig Secure is stronger in cloud-native security and DevSecOps capabilities.
Features: Qualys VMDR offers continuous endpoint monitoring, automated vulnerability detection, and a robust scanning capability. Users highlight its comprehensive dashboard presentation and integration with compliance modules. Sysdig Secure provides cloud-native security solutions with runtime detection and Kubernetes audit log monitoring, positioning itself well for organizations focused on cloud security and DevSecOps.
Room for Improvement: Qualys VMDR could improve asset management, reporting, and reduce false positives, with suggestions for better dashboard organization and quicker turnaround. Users note Qualys' reliance on cloud services may be costly for smaller firms. Sysdig Secure needs enhancements in dashboard and reporting features, along with better scalability and database monitoring support. Users seek improved actionability for Kubernetes audit logs and more targeted feature deployment.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Qualys VMDR is available across private, public, and hybrid clouds, though deployment can be complex. Customer service experiences vary, with slow response times reported in some regions. Sysdig Secure focuses on cloud-based deployment, offering good customer support, but lacks flexibility in deployment options compared to competitors.
Pricing and ROI: Qualys VMDR is often seen as expensive, particularly for small businesses, but offers comprehensive features leading to a positive ROI. Negotiating pricing for bundled features is suggested. Sysdig Secure's pricing, reflecting its cloud and Kubernetes focus, is debated for cost-effectiveness, yet is seen as more accessible for cloud-first organizations. Both solutions provide good ROI overall.
