Mandiant Advantage Security Validation, designed by Mandiant company, can automate a testing program to give us authetic and real world data on how our security controls are effectively working / performing. This solution provides trusted evidence on how well our security controls work against threats targeting our organization. This enables security teams to emulate real attack behaviors against security controls authentically throughout the attack lifecycle and the entire security stack.
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
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.
The Mandiant Threat Modeling Security Service evaluates our organization’s security controls and ethically uncovers attacker behaviors to reveal unknown risks and vulnerabilities within existing and proposed network and information systems including software applications, business processes and operational networks. Also, they helps in achieving our compliance objectives for internal and external regulations
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.
Mandiant is focused on a clear view of the environment, vulnerabilities, and threats. Palo Alto is a great tool for some of this, but was not mature enough at the time of our initial eval. The new version of Palo Alto looks much more robust and capable and we will definitely re-evaluate it before renewal with Mandiant. If you already have Palo in your environment, it's an even more compelling case.
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.
