Continuous risk-based monitoring has strengthened incident response and vulnerability prioritization
I haven't explored Qualys VMDR's vulnerability lifecycle automation yet. One of my analysts mentioned that queries lack grouping operators in Qualys VMDR. From my experience, I would appreciate improvements in the query options in Qualys VMDR, specifically in the query-building process where I would need more features and operators. Additionally, we have been facing issues with Qualys on the cloud level. We cannot download the configuration profile from the cloud agent, and it is showing a pending action for download. During 2025, we noticed outages of Qualys a couple of times. I want to mention that there is an issue with receiving timely RCA deliveries. While this is not necessarily about the tool, it relates to support. The support has not been very responsive, and we are receiving RCAs a little delayed whenever we raise support cases or communicate with the TAMs. Additionally, the UI has a slight latency, which I and my team have experienced. They have also reported this latency issue when navigating through different pages.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"Using the vulnerability management module you can track the list of vulnerabilities and can take action to remediate them."
"Almost all of the features are great."
"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities."
"In a world of the hybrid workforce and work from home, if you're looking for a more effective vulnerability management tool, you have to go to the agent-based vulnerability management tools that are out there, and we've been extremely happy with Qualys."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution, and we are also cutting the need for news monitoring with this solution."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The reporting is fine."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements. Tenable dominated in these two areas: reporting and graphical user interface."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"While Qualys VMDR is comprehensive, improvements in asset management functionality would be beneficial."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"We have an annual contract for Qualys VMDR. I believe it's for either two years or five years."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"In Nigerian Naira, we spend about roughly four to five million to use this solution and this is expensive compared to solutions like Nessus."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"The pricing is very competitive."
