Featured Reviews

Ankesh Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time responses and reporting streamline vulnerability management
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent. It allows us to see real-time graphs and reports for every asset, server, and more, which is very user-friendly. Our clients have given good feedback, and they are satisfied with the tool. We use it daily to fix vulnerabilities by connecting with infrastructure to remediate. The feedback from the client side is very good.
Danie Joubert - PeerSpot reviewer
Good value for money; great for policy management
Our model of deployment for this solution is on-premises. For people looking into this solution and trying to use it for the first time, I'd say make your life easier by using the SUSE product as well on top of your community scale stack. That makes your integration points a lot easier and smoother. I would also say during your initial setup, make sure that your clusters are already in terms of the capabilities with the version required. I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this rating is that what they offer is solid, but they could expand their service and add more features just to make more things integrated into an enterprise itself.

"Authenticated scans provide different options, including those using or not using the FactSet and adding option profiles."

Cons

"In terms of improvement for the web application console, in the older version, things were more segregated and presented in a brief format."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"It would be helpful to have features for better tracking, including options for adding relevant owners or supporting groups for each asset."

"The documentation needs to improve a bit."

"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."
