Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks and others in IT Asset Management."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 most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"I find Qualys VM very robust, and it's very useful for vulnerability management and patch management. The value that it brings to my environment is economies of scale. There is no limitation on adding any endpoints. You go by the rule, and it's added once another endpoint is added to our environment. It's automatically installed, and it's less work from our end. It frees up my license automatically if I don't need an endpoint or if my machine is decommissioned. I like the dashboard displays because I don't see any duplication. The most important part is vulnerability management and prioritization. Unlike Symantec, it shows the kind of vulnerability I would want to patch first. It provides a holistic view of the kind of vulnerabilities and the ones I should remediate first. I don't have to do a scan; it just brings up those critical kinds of vulnerabilities like zero-day vulnerabilities and tells me to prioritize them. You have to prioritize these vulnerabilities first and go on with the rest. The dashboard shows me the ones that have been fixed, so I don't have to complete an aging report. The user experience and the graphical interface are good. As it's user-friendly and understandable on an executive level, it brings real value. We also use this solution because it's robust and flexibile."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
"All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution."
"It provides us with improved maintenance cycles."
"We have installed a physical server for failover. We need to configure cluster on everything. But with VMware, we do not need to cluster. We get automatically seven physical nodes failover. If one fails we have no issues."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"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."
"The customer support is very bad."
"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."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"Not a ten because the price is high."
"It needs to improve user roles and access rights."
"Its automation feature needs improvement. They can include the vRealize Automation feature in this solution."
