Report Date: July 2010 In Forresters 53-criteria evaluation of vulnerability management vendors, we found that the market is rife with mature products. Qualys led the pack because of its strong vulnerability assessment capability, forward-thinking strategy, and exceptional customer reviews. Rapid7, Lumension, McAfee, and nCircleare a notch down, but all turned in solid scores that landed them in the Leaders section. eEye DigitalSecurity, Tenable Network Security, and Critical Watch are ranked as Strong Performers. These productsmay lack platform diversity, have slightly weaker application-level scanning capability, or do not supportcomprehensive policy compliance. However, all of the products we evaluated have mature vulnerabilityassessment functionality. Given this, IT security professionals should choose a vulnerability managementproduct based on the more cutting-edge functionality, such as support for remediation and applicationlevelscanning, rather than on traditional network and system vulnerability management functions.
