ManageEngine Application Control Plus vs. Qualys TruRisk Platform

It works great if you want to run an application as an admin. We did find out that it will not work, or at least we cannot get it to work for users that need to change the IP address on their endpoint to connect to a traffic light. So far those users are still admins until we can figure it out

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.

• Console built well and easy to understand
• Support is awesome
• Pulls in the exe information so that it is easy to allow the application to be ran as an admin

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• The agent on the endpoint will sometimes fail to install or it will get corrupted. Nothing in the console that we can find tells us that there is an issue
• Create an agent that also works with the other products that you sell. If we have more than one product there is a chance that it may not work
• I really do not have a 3rd. This is a really good product

Incentivized

• 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.

Extremely easy to use. Once we had a good idea of how it worked we had it up and running in about 2 weeks. It did take us nearly 9 months to get it installed and fully operational on all users endpoints that needed it. My admin on the team that runs the software loves it.

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.

ME has many more applications that are in the database that will work. The cost was also much cheaper that is until we confronted the other vendor about us finding another product. At that point it was too late. We own other ME products and have found success in all of them

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.

Incentivized

• This product will help us better secure our environment. That alone is a huge cost savings
• We have allowed users that were admins to still be able to install some software on their endpoints without having admin rights on the whole endpoint
• This product has woke up some in the department to look for applications that do not require admin rights.

Incentivized

• Big time-saving tool vs. having to comb through several system reports which ultimately can still have you missing unapproved software.
• Quick snapshot via the dashboard provided a nice summary of where you're assets meet or do not meet your organization's policy requirements.
