Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.
Harold Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility but expensive and needs better support
Support: It's often overseas and often following a script, basically asking us to redo what we opened the case with. Multiple APIs: There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys. We had to use manual inputs and some API calls to get items in place. Dashboard: It is very rudimentary with very little customization. The Qualys Scripting Language (QSL) works differently in different Qualys modules, so when you get it working in one area you have to modify the syntax in others. User account management: We often have to give users more rights than needed just to give them what they need. Integration with the various Qualys Modules: You can tell the UI is different based on of the different teams that created them. QSL syntax same in all modules Responsiveness of some of the components: They time out, you get a blank screen, etc. Backend updates between the various modules: You update connectors and information takes a few minutes to show in VMDR or Global Asset View Connectors: Connectors have a throttling issue with AWS which causes them to frequently fail unless you manually run them again.

Pros

"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The technical support is good."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The best features of Qualys VMDR are its patch management capabilities and the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities automatically."
"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 QID part, especially of CentralList, which makes it easy to assess new critical vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability assessment."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"Continuous monitoring is a crucial feature that we use more frequently."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
 

Cons

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"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."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"The user interface (UI) is quite complicated."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"We have an annual contract for Qualys VMDR. I believe it's for either two years or five years."
