Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it. Once you've deployed it, then you're never confident on the versions of the browsers and the SSL certificates, etc. You have to always go back into Qualys and check."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"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."
"They should make it accessible for more operating systems."
"Improve the API speed."
"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
