4 Reasons To Look For Qualys Alternative
Top Pentest Companies
Qualys vs. Tenable
Tenable
Expensive pricing
Tenable’s top web app scanning plan comes at $4,222.0 for 5 FQDNs.
Tenable ensures the security of web applications with its high detection rates. However, it is an expensive and time taking option that cannot be considered by SMEs.
Qualys
Pricing 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.
Difficult to navigate
Tenable web app scanning package is slightly more difficult to navigate when compared to other tools.
Tenable provides continuous automated scanning but the number of scans is limited. Its UI isn’t very appealing and more traditional.
Does not provide vetted scans for zero false positive assurance but does it through automated means.
Easy to navigate
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.
Pentest is not available
Tenable’s top plan majorly focuses on vulnerability assessments, and malware detection to accelerate the DevOps security requirements.
No pentest
Qualys does not provide penetration testing. Rather it focuses on the exhaustive scanning of assets to find any unsafe exposed areas within web security.
No remediation support
Tenable doesn’t have a remediation support program.
Aid for successful remediation and patching is essentially left to the customers, thus putting a lot on their plates.
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
Tenable can be integrated into your CI/CD pipelines with Splunk, AWS, Atlassian, and more.
However, its time-taking scans put a dent in this being the ideal choice.
Integration
Qualys has integrations with Splunk, Cisco, IBM, and more.
However, its lack of well-developed remediation measures acts as a hindrance to seamless CI/CD integrations.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text et to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
