"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"PingSafe stands out for its user-friendly interface and intuitive software, making it easy to navigate and use."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"The management console is the most valuable feature."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no vulnerabilities."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"In addition to the console alerts, I would like PingSafe to also send email notifications."
"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."
"We use PingSafe and also SentinelOne. If PingSafe integrated some of the endpoint security features of SentinelOne, it would be the perfect one-stop solution for everything. We wouldn't need to switch between the products. At my organization, I am responsible for endpoint security and vulnerability management. Integrating both functions into one application would be ideal because I could see all the alerts, heat maps, and reports in one console."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
