The QualWeb scan is less comprehensive. The traditional Web Governance scan contains more success criteria checks. A good way to test this on your own website would be to scan a sample number of pages using each method and compare the results.

For instructions on how to set up the scan and more about QualWeb, see the following user guide articles:
