Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily.""It's stable and quite reliable.""It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems.""Provides great functionality.""The reporting functionality is great.""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.""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.""Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."

"The solution has a great filtering feature.""The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."

Cons
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating.""Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive.""The IoT scan is not great.""Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles.""Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time.""The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement.""One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud.""Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."

"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult.""The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
