We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the full reach of services."

"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The most valuable feature is automation."

Cons

"I would like to see it integrate with third-party systems."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"Improve the API speed."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are yearly."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is costly."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"In Nigerian Naira, we spend about roughly four to five million to use this solution and this is expensive compared to solutions like Nessus."
"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."
