ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus vs. Qualys VMDR

Better patch application. Less application and/or improvement for Linux environments.

Qualys VMDR is best suited for larger companies with a very large IT asset footprint. Qualys VMDR is not suited for businesses that are small and upcoming as the price for the tool is very expensive and could be a budget sink if not used properly. In our organization we use the Qualys VMDR dashboard and reporting in order to collect any vulnerabilities we miss during our routine audits to ensure that our environment is stable and protected for attacks.

• Automation during environment updates.
• Savings on overtime hours for the analyst responsible for updates.
• Server vulnerability analysis.

Incentivized

• Seamless reporting across the different widgets (i.e. TruRisk)
• DEEP-DIVE into an asset's info/vulns
• Baked-in PCI ASV scans that a Qualys QSA can approve

Incentivized

• Improved patch applicability on Linux servers;
• Better recognition of Linux devices. Currently, servers are viewed as desktops
• Better support.

• Qualys VMDR can definitely improve on its reporting of assets as we have caught devices not captured in the Qualys VMDR scans.
• We would like to see an improvement on the dashboard interface as it is faulty sometimes.
• Qualys VMDR should focus on more competitive pricing as it is very expensive.

We're already on our third renewal.

Next to Veeam (which is a tremendous product for backup/DR) this is the best service/software I have used in the past three decades. Should be called the Swiss Army Knife of security.

This is iron but I am giving it 5 star and I can give more If I can do because they are best in support. So once you own this product they will assign a dedicated support for you and when you are under the weather with anything just connect them with anything call, ping or ticket they will come like Genie.

Not really - the integrations via connectors is not heavy lifting. Any complexity has to do with a service that requires more steps (i.e. AWS/GCP)

I chose Vulnerability because it is very easy to use and analyzes threats effectively. I previously used Microsoft System Center; however, due to its complexity and lack of transparency, we decided to remove it from our company and keep only Vulnerability.

It is a very similar tool but Qualys VMDR is much better when it comes to reporting and solutions provided. Asset management is really good in Qualys VMDR. Qualys VMDR support is really quick , you can get a TPM if you run into any issues. Qualys VMDR has wide variety of scanning options which lacks in tenable.

MOSTLY good - but as noted having all features purchased on portal only - nothing that is not purchased.

Outside some pretty arcane apps or OS this is painless. The problem - and self-inflicted - is that older stuff is not supported.

• It meets our expectations and those of the business.
• I keep our environment under control, regarding the applicability of patches.
• Reports and evidence for auditing.

• Cut down on manual efforts to investigate or remediate vulnerabilities, which can be a big driver of ROI
• Avoidance of potential incidents with upfront risk mitigation
• Patching efficiency gains
