Qualys VMDR supports both remote scanning and as well as agent based scanning. With a complex infrastructure with over 2 million devices and 100s getting added and removed on daily basis makes the operations challenging. Qualys VMDR has a great feature to do discovery scan to detect active devices on the network and perform vulnerability scans on those assets. Authentication is also easy to setup and use.

Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.

Pros
  • Qualys VMDR automates the remediation process for risks without code.
  • Scans and detects all of our assets whether they are IT or IOT
  • Analyzes our environment for misconfigurations and measures risk against industry benchmarks

  • Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
  • One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
  • The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues

Cons
  • 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.

  • Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
  • Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
  • Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.

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)

Alternatives Considered
Qualys VMDR was selected against competitors because of the depth of insight the platform provides. When stacked against other competitors, platforms like Syxsense couldn't produce the same level on insight and reporting like how Qualys VMDR does. Qualys VMDR also does a great job at gathering information about the latest security definitions and using those to analyze our environment to alert of any vulnerabilities. Something that Syxsense couldn't.

Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.

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

Return on Investment
  • 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
Read full review
  • We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
  • We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
  • We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
