Head-to-head

VMware vs WatchGuard

WatchGuard carries 6.4× the disclosed CVE volume of VMware. Volume reflects disclosure practice and install base as much as code quality — read it with the severity mix. Sourced from the NIST NVD; lower counts indicate a smaller disclosed vulnerability surface — not necessarily lower risk.
