The initial setup and onboarding process of Qualys VMDR was quite smooth, as we were able to draft the SOPs from the documentation portal itself and everything was available in the documentation, so it was not a hassle for us to get the integrations done on time.

The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner.
Roshan Ugale - PeerSpot reviewer

Second, the remedies provided by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management are sometimes not useful most of the time. In that case, we need to troubleshoot or find out the remedies by ourselves.

However, I am not satisfied with Qualys support. The response time is slower than needed.

The support has not been very responsive, and we are receiving RCAs a little delayed whenever we raise support cases or communicate with the TAMs.

Qualys doesn't have its own tool to deploy the agents all at once, so we need to use third-party tools such as BigFix or something else to deploy the agents, which is my main concern and should be fixed by the Qualys team.

When a customer does not have control over vulnerabilities or architecture and needs a solution that automates this function for the company, it can be difficult to identify the vulnerabilities.

Qualys VMDR identifies vulnerabilities and suggests fixes. However, it does not automate patching unless the patch management module is purchased separately.

In terms of improvement for the web application console, in the older version, things were more segregated and presented in a brief format.
