[ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/435297/manageengine-vulnerability-manager-plus) — 4.6/5 (32 reviews) ## Reviews ### "Comprehensive Solution for CloudSec Needs" — 5.0/5 > **Manoj** | *20 February 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Comprehensive security coverage, scalability, and ease of use > > **Cons**: Cost can be subjective depending upon the org size. Also configurations are to be done very accurately for getting desired results. > > Overall, Qualys Cloud Security is a comprehensive and powerful security tool ----- ### "Nice tool for Vulnerability Management." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 January 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to implement, enabling sensors are not much techie. > > **Cons**: Sometime handling false positive detection are really a tough task. > > Overall We are happy, Web interface is very interactive and training are awesome. ----- ### "Incompetent badly supported rubbish." — 1.0/5 > **Graham** | *24 August 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing - I hate it. > > **Cons**: Their ridiculous false positives - apparently it's a critical incompliance that certain options aren't set in the gdm config file /etc/gdm.conf. Fair enough - if gdm was installed. A simple check that the file exists first would eliminate this and (of our 80+ compliance errors) most others. Complaining about mount options on non-existent filesystems, or that /etc/gshadow didn't match a regex - or did, I'm not sure from the report. The file has mode 0000 (so no permissions set at all). The fix was to chown root:root /etc/gshadow\* Trust these amateurs at your own risk. If they are as incompetent as this, what are they missing? ----- ### "Great cloud based vulnerability scanning tool." — 4.0/5 > **Tejas** | *2 October 2018* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Qualysguard performs scan based on IP addresses rather than URL’s. It easily accessible from anywhere as its as cloud based scanner. Qualysguard supports scheduling of the scan for target system based on particular time and date and it also acknowledges and share the mail once the scan is completed. It can also perform the scan and give vulnerabilities as per compliance standards such as PCI DSS. > > **Cons**: Qualysguard doesn’t support scan for URL’s as we only need to provide IP address of the URL to perform the scan. This tool might be costly for small scale organizations. > > Great vulnerability scanner to provide accurate vulnerability findings. ----- ### "Vulnerability scanning" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 August 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Qualys gives high-quality reports in an easy to read format. The agent has been easy to install and has not caused any issues. > > **Cons**: We have had some instances where scan attempts ended up causing confusion or application outages when they were not designed to handle the scans. > > Overall it has been very positive and we will continue to use it. It has helped us greatly lock down our environment. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/262425/qualysguard-enterprise?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/262425/qualysguard-enterprise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
