Scales well and technical support is good, but it is expensive
The majority of our customers nowadays are looking forward to having cloud-based control models. However, some of our clients have to keep their data in their own data center in order to satisfy compliance. In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good. Overall, it is a very good product. That said, there are other tools that meet the feature requirements and are more cost-effective. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Continuous risk-based monitoring has strengthened incident response and vulnerability prioritization
I haven't explored Qualys VMDR's vulnerability lifecycle automation yet. One of my analysts mentioned that queries lack grouping operators in Qualys VMDR. From my experience, I would appreciate improvements in the query options in Qualys VMDR, specifically in the query-building process where I would need more features and operators. Additionally, we have been facing issues with Qualys on the cloud level. We cannot download the configuration profile from the cloud agent, and it is showing a pending action for download. During 2025, we noticed outages of Qualys a couple of times. I want to mention that there is an issue with receiving timely RCA deliveries. While this is not necessarily about the tool, it relates to support. The support has not been very responsive, and we are receiving RCAs a little delayed whenever we raise support cases or communicate with the TAMs. Additionally, the UI has a slight latency, which I and my team have experienced. They have also reported this latency issue when navigating through different pages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good."
"The interface is simple to use."
"The feature where the solutions to issues are mentioned in the reports."
"The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks."
"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 is a good SaaS product, it is easy to use, and it has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
"Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"I think the only area to improve it is the way the scores are calculated."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"I felt hindered sometimes within reports in that they were lacking somewhat on the customization side in terms of making use of the data."
"The user interface (UI) is quite complicated."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"Qualys VMDR should improve authenticated scanning capabilities."
"I can't say as I have worked mostly on its vulnerability management module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"In Nigerian Naira, we spend about roughly four to five million to use this solution and this is expensive compared to solutions like Nessus."
"The pricing and licensing for Qualys could be improved."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The license is on a yearly basis."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
