Qualys Cloud Platform vs Symantec Control Compliance Suite

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for environments that are looking for a solution that is top notch for vulnerability scanning, and is the most accurate at doing so. It would also fit environments that have a lot of endpoints to scan or like to have scanning done on an automatic basis.It is less appropriate in environments that want to use a platform right away, without getting training in how to use it, or reading documentation on the product.

Cons

Price tag
Have the license based on live IPs, not on entire subnets, so then you pay for the exactly amount of servers you have.

Alternatives Considered

Qualysguard gave us the tools we needed that were benificial to our job without us having to do too much manual interaction such as with Nmap, Metasploit , etc. It was a very efficient platform that I would go to again.
