Software Asset Manager Lead at Boeing at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

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.

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

"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."

"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."

"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."

"Tech support is helpful."

"Qualys VM is very stable."

"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."

"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."

"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."

"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."

"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."

Cons

"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."

"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."

"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."

"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."

"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."

"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."

"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."

"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."

"The tool needs to improve the adding assets and report generation features. I would like to see the policy scan of offline appliances in the product's future releases."

"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."

"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."

"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."

"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."

"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"It is more expensive than other products on the market."

"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."

"We have an annual contract for Qualys VMDR. I believe it's for either two years or five years."

"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."

"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."
