Provides a very good vulnerability monitoring system, but the implementation is challenging

We face many issues while implementing Armis in the pharma sector. Some of the customer applications are not supported well by the tool. The applications do not communicate well if we implement Armis. We generally face such issues during implementation. We are planning to implement the product in the wind energy sector, but we don't have any idea how to do it. Currently, it is a very big challenge for us. Products like Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi provide a much better experience during implementation. If any issues arise, we are told how to resolve such issues during the POC. Armis does not provide the secure remote access feature Claroty provides.

Helped discover about 10,000 vulnerabilities so far

We recently had some issues related to the continuous monitoring of the SaaS module. I am working with someone from the Qualys support team. He is helping us to resolve all the issues. One request is still open with the team because the risk scan was not happening at the application level. We opened a ticket and requested them to schedule a call. It might happen next week. The support provided by Qualys is good. Their SMEs have sufficient knowledge, and if they are not the right contact, they quickly redirect us to someone who can help resolve issues. The only minor issue is occasionally being redirected to multiple teams, causing slight delays. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."

"The Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management pricing is well-aligned with our usage."

"The pricing for Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management is reasonable, with an annual subscription costing around $1,000 per year or a monthly subscription starting at approximately $72 per month, depending on the specific package and features included."

"The pricing for Qualys CSAM is nominal."

"Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management can be expensive, especially if we already have VMDR."
