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 product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"Tech support is helpful."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"The most valuable feature is the QID part, especially of CentralList, which makes it easy to assess new critical vulnerabilities."
"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate 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."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"They can tweak their UI since the new version seems a bit jumbled up, and the old UI was more user-friendly."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Improve the user interface."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"There are scenarios where a vulnerability is reported once yet not in subsequent scans, even if we have not fixed it."
"One area for improvement is the simplification of the process to ignore certain vulnerabilities on specific devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"The solution is costly."
"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."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"In Nigerian Naira, we spend about roughly four to five million to use this solution and this is expensive compared to solutions like Nessus."
