A stable and clever solution, but it is very complex and it needs a lot of improvements
There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas. It needs a discovery tool of its own. You have to get that from other Micro Focus products, which means you have to pay more to get those products.
Ankesh Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"It is stable and scalable."
"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
"Qualys VMDR has positively impacted my organization by reducing vulnerability exposure time through faster detection and patching, and it has improved compliance reporting with accurate and up-to-date data."
"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."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
 

Cons

"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."
"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"Improve the API speed."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"Qualys VMDR could improve in reducing the occurrences of false positive vulnerabilities."
"There are scenarios where a vulnerability is reported once yet not in subsequent scans, even if we have not fixed it."
"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

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."

"The price is very reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
