If your vulnerability assessment scans can’t produce meaningful and actionable reports, performing a scan does no good for anyone. If you’ve read my other blog posts, you know I have no qualms about stating that BeyondTrust provides the best vulnerability reporting in the industry. Ask your favorite analyst and they’ll tend to agree.
Of course, we understand that many organizations need to run multiple scanners in their environments. Fortunately, the BeyondInsight IT Risk Management Platform makes it easy to understand and act on vulnerability data from several scanners. For instance, with BeyondInsight v5.1, we just made it much easier to get comprehensive reports from your existing QualysGuard scans and data.
BeyondInsight solves several shortcomings in competing reporting systems and allows organizations to meet their business requirements by providing prioritized, contextual vulnerability and risk data. Consider some of the common problems we hear from customers regarding QualysGuard:

- The highest cost per asset in the industry based on list pricing
- All data is present in the cloud only and must be downloaded to spreadsheets or other tools for manipulation
- Limited reporting capabilities and data longevity restrict long-term reporting needs and flexibility in output
- Network scanning technology only with no support for local agents or advanced connectors into technologies like VMware
- Enumeration of users, shares, services, processes, ports and installed software
- Assessment capabilities for ThinApps and other VMware technologies
- Extensive cloud connectors for Amazon, GoGrid, RackSpace, IBM and VMware
- Mobile device scanning for BlackBerry, ActiveSync and Android
- Extensive third-party integration with SEIMs, GRC solutions, Help Desk solutions, and other security tools
- Benchmark configuration compliance using STIG, Microsoft and CIS templates
- Malware and exploit toolkit information
