Cisco Cyber Vision is an industrial control security application (i.e. IoT security) that has been specifically developed for OT and IT teams to work together to ensure production continuity, resilience and safety. With it, users can now deploy Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and capture the benefits of industry digitization efforts.

Qualys TruRisk Platform (formerly Qualys Cloud Platform, or Qualysguard), from San Francisco-based Qualys, is network security and vulnerability management software featuring app scanning and security, network device mapping and detection, vulnerability prioritization schedule and remediation, and other features to provide vulnerability management and network attack surface reduction.
Where it's well suited? So like I said, so when you don't have any insights inside of your network, inside of your production especially, this is where you can really use this product because it's great because you cannot do some active discovery. You need to do passive discovery, you can deploy it on a Cisco Switches so you don't need some extra devices or do some remote fan to send this traffic to some central controller. You have everything on the edge and I think this is a great benefit of Cisco Cyber Vision.
Qualys Cloud Platform is well suited for organizations that need additional tools to secure and bolster their security from end to end. The automated, real-time threat protection is very quick to notify an admin of potential vulnerabilities and risks, as well as recommending quick fixes to resolve/close the gap before an incident occurs. QCP excels at portraying all of these in a single pane of glass, and find that the Qualys reports are more detailed than competitor product lines. One of our big issues with QCP is that you do have to pay for each scanner, which can quickly add up to large costs. For this reason, I would rate Qualys at a ~7 due to great features and functionality, but overall value could be better for a large organization. I would also say that QCP may make more sense for smaller organizations due to this pricing model.
It really does well at vulnerability scanning, which it is well known for. It's accuracy at finding vulnerabilities is top notch, more so than a lot of other vulnerability tools out there. In an organization/company you want this kind of accuracy at finding vulnerabilities in your network/endpoints
It is very good at managing endpoints on a consistent basis, meaning you can add endpoints to Qualys and have the platform scan/track/protect for vulnerabilities on an ongoing basis, without user intervention
It does really well at separating out and identifying what levels of criticality each vulnerability should fall into. This way, an organization/company can attack the more critical vulnerabilities first
We use it and this product is made especially for OT environment. So everything you can find inside of a production, PLC, robotics, stuff like this.
As freshly announced last Friday, it was pain by being forced to use SSD in Catalyst switches, but with the version it's no longer needed. So for here now I'm happy.
This program is really complicated, the multiple functions that are presented to us are not very clear and in some cases, it is a matter of intuition to execute a function, it is not very informative.
The interface of this program can be a real problem; for our taste, this program looks a bit messy, and the interface does not help or guide you to find the options you need.
Again, the usability of Qualys has been a pinpoint for this entire review. It was easily the worst thing about the product and because of this, I would not recommend Qualys to anybody in my field. This should be something that Qualys strives to improve if they wish to stay in business.
They had a support page within the WAS to report any concerns or seek help. But the UI of that is not smooth. Regardless support staff were pretty responsive and helpful. They scheduled calls to understand and address our problems. Email support is good as well.
As described before Qualys is used to scan periodically the environment in order to check if there are some packages (Linux) or Applications (Windows) outdated, generating reports to the Service Owners, fulfilling what's is expected from us, attending all our expectations regarding the tool. That's why we'd choose Qualys to our organization.
Because I think you can scale it very good. You can monitor lots of devices, but it has some limitations especially in, that's why I don't give it a 10, especially in the visibility. So when you have a map, you're limited to the amount of connections and devices to display on a map and it would be great to see there more devices inside of the map.
