Featured Reviews

Jay Buoy - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Security Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has improved visibility of asset risks and helped prioritize remediation across the environment
The quality at times of the technical support or customer support for Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is not as fast as what you would it to be. If you have an issue out there, I don't really know if it's so much related to the support or if you're going through your account manager also for the remediation. But that can be a little slow at times.There have been a couple of times where Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management wasn't accessible and I'd reach out to our TAM and they'd say, 'Qualys is down.' They say, 'We'll let you know when it's back up.' Of course, they never let you know when it's back up. You just keep trying later on and then eventually it comes back up. It's probably gone down maybe about five or six times since I've had it.
