Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly
I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

Real-time responses and reporting streamline vulnerability management
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent. It allows us to see real-time graphs and reports for every asset, server, and more, which is very user-friendly. Our clients have given good feedback, and they are satisfied with the tool. We use it daily to fix vulnerabilities by connecting with infrastructure to remediate. The feedback from the client side is very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to setup."
"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"Overall, the solution is highly rated because of its simplicity and efficiency."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"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 best features of Qualys VMDR are its patch management capabilities and the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities automatically."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"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."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"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."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"The solution is reasonably priced for the value it provides."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"I used to work there, so I never paid for the product. As an employee, we get a lifetime license for personal use, and that's what I'm using. It is a comprehensive platform, so there is a lot more to it. There could be other solutions that are probably a little bit cheaper, but it depends on what people need. Different people have different needs. It offers many things on the same platform. If you add all the things up, it should be cheaper, but I have not done any analysis specifically."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
"The license is on a yearly basis."
