Qualys Exposure Management Reviews

I mainly use Qualys VM for CSAM, to complement vulnerability management on our assets, and to check for intrusions through our email gateways.

Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion. It also provides a view of inventories and vulnerabilities in the containers running on my infrastructure, which helps me to do better roadmapping on where I need to put my resources.

Qualys VM's best features are its machine-learning-backed intelligence, real-time inventory of vulnerabilities, backup, threat intelligence exposure database, and that it doesn't hold on to infrastructure resources like memory.

Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved.

I've been using Qualys VM for over a year.

I've had no issues with Qualys VM's stability.

Qualys VM is scalable.

Qualys has an impeccable, readily available technical support team.

The initial setup is very simple - it's just a deploy-and-run.

Qualys VM is reasonably priced.

I would rate Qualys VM as nine out of ten.

I use Qualys VM for vulnerability scanning, enterprise management, web application scanning, and patch deployment.

Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring.

Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time. It could also be more user-friendly. In the next release, Qualys VM should include threat intelligence and external test service management.

I've been using Qualys VM for around six months.

Qualys VM is stable and reliable.

Qualys VM is quite easy to scale.

Qualys' customer service could be better.

Neutral

The initial setup was not user-friendly.

I evaluated Tenable but chose Qualys VM because of its management features.

I would rate Qualys VM eight out of ten.

We use this solution mainly for vulnerability management.

Qualys is a well-known name in the market and we use it for different scenarios. We also like the flexibility in their licensing.

The IoT scan is not great and we would like to see some improvements to it.

We have been using this solution for over three years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. We use the test version.

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten. They have really good support.

Positive

I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. It was very good and easy. 

It has a competitive price. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. Compared to other solutions, brand awareness and Azure integration are the strong points of Qualys VM. We would like to have some predefined parameters for the setup in regards to security and vulnerability, and how to maximize it. For example, we want scans and management with some predefined parameters that we need to have in the environment prior to deployment and initial setup.

Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management.

Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap. Their reporting could also be more user-friendly. In the next release, I would like Qualys to include basic policy and compliance checks in the basic licensing. 

I've been using Qualys VM for almost two years.

Qualys VM is quite stable - we've had no problems with it.

Qualys VM's scalability depends on the license that you use.

Previously we used Nessus, but only Qualys does intrusive scanning.

We used an in-house team.

An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000.

Qualys VM is a really good tool for vulnerability scanning, and it has different sets of profiles that can be utilized for your own requirements. I would rate Qualys VM as seven out of ten.

I primarily use Qualys VM for vulnerability management, security configuration, and management and asset inventory.

The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks.

Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features.

I've been using Qualys VM for around eighteen years.

We've had no problems with stability.

Qualys VM is quite easy to scale, and you can cover a large number of instances.

The technical support is pretty good, though sometimes the response time could be better.

Positive

The initial setup is quite simple.

Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers. With the SaaS version, you're buying a license for use per asset, so the price can differ, and there are additional fees for features like patch management and EDR policy compliance.

We also tested Tenable and Rapid7.

I would rate Qualys VM as nine out of ten.

I mainly use Qualys VM for vulnerability management to carry out vulnerability scans on IT assets to find out which are vulnerable and what is needed to patch them. We also use it for policy compliance scans and in tablet for web application scans.

Qualys VM has greatly helped us to improve and maintain our posture of security.

The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning.

Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once. I think cloud-based solutions like Qualys VM should be prepared to throw more resources in to ensure they don't get overwhelmed like this.

I've been using Qualys VM for about six years.

The stability and performance have been fine.

Qualys VM is very easy to scale - that's one of the benefits of cloud-based solutions.

We are using Qualys VM to provide a VM service.

The most valuable features of Qualys VM are its ability to do proper vulnerability assessment. It has a lot of updates for all the vulnerability databases from all over the globe.  It's an amazing solution when it comes to the versatility of the features it has. Additionally, the reports are very good. It generates very detailed reports about the vulnerabilities inside the environment

I have been using Qualys VM for approximately five years.

The initial setup of Qualys VM is straightforward. The full implementation took us approximately one day.

I would recommend this solution to others to implement it in their network.

I rate Qualys VM an eight out of ten

It is for vulnerability management. I used it in my previous company, and I also used it for my home network.

It is a SaaS platform. So, there is always the latest version.

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.

Certain integration factors between different options could be improved.

I worked with this solution for two years. 

Its stability and performance are good.

People use it for hundreds and thousands of assets, so it is definitely scalable.

I used to run technical support there. So, I didn't need to go for support.

It is easy and straightforward to set it up. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to set up a new asset.

I used to work there, so I never paid for the product. As an employee, we get a lifetime license for personal use, and that's what I'm using.

It is a comprehensive platform, so there is a lot more to it. There could be other solutions that are probably a little bit cheaper, but it depends on what people need. Different people have different needs. It offers many things on the same platform. If you add all the things up, it should be cheaper, but I have not done any analysis specifically.

It is a good product. I would recommend it to others. It had whatever I needed for my personal use case. There are a lot of features that I have not explored. Some of the features are applicable for corporate networks, and they can't be used for personal use cases.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.
