Qualys
Pricing is not mentioned
Qualys offers a free trial version but does not mention their pricing and packages on the website.
It provides a cloud-based continuous scanning solution and detection of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
No vetted scans
Does not provide vetted scans and thus cannot ensure results with zero false positive assurance.
Provides an unlimited number of vulnerability scans with scan behind login features.
However, the user experience leaves more to be desired in terms of vulnerability management.
No vetted scans
Qualys provides a web security scanning solution that is easy to use, navigate and set up.
It provides a deep scan of the internal and external environment and even the APIs for web apps and mobile apps.
Does not ensure zero false positives with its scanning which is a drawback of the tool. This leaves the users feeling dissatisfied with the scanning experience.
No pentest
Does not provide an option for manual expert pentester assistance nor pentest certificate upon successful remediation of vulnerabilities identified.
No pentest
Qualys does not provide penetration testing. Instead, it focuses on the complete scanning of assets to find any unsafe exposed areas within web security.
Little Remediation support
Detectify offers little in terms of remediation support to fix the vulnerabilities found.
This puts the finding of appropriate fixes and makes them solely responsible for the whole patching process.
Insufficient remediation support
Qualys doesn’t offer a lot in terms of remediation support.
Hence, it essentially dumps the workload back onto the customers once the vulnerabilities are discovered.
Integration
Detectify can be integrated into the CI/CD project pipelines as it provides integrations with Jira, Trello, Slack, and Splunk.
Integration
Qualys has integrations with Splunk, Cisco, IBM, Bugcrowd, and more.
However, its lack of well-developed remediation measures acts as a hindrance to seamless CI/CD integrations.
