We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities.""The reporting is fine.""The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities.""Technical support is fantastic.""I am impressed with the VMDR feature.""There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features.""There are fewer false positives when using this solution."

"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."

Cons
"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.""Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved.""It is more expensive vs. other products on the market.""They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities.""They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable.""It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution.""The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports.""Improve the user interface."
