"The product’s most valuable features are compliance, recommendations, and inventories."
"The product's stability is very high...The scalability of the product is amazing."
"The solution is up-to-date and helps prevent zero-day attacks."
"One valuable feature is the Microsoft Security Scorecard."
"They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
"The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"Integration can be improved."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"The general support could be improved."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
