A good security tool for vulnerability assessment and asset prioritization
The support mechanism can be improved. I would also like to add that it would be great if we could scan a previous date or based on the previous date's updates. Like today, if I want to run that scan on a system, if a system allows me to exclude all the patches that were released after October 2020, it will actually provide a clearer picture. This is because in October, we had these vulnerabilities, and these vulnerabilities are fixed now. Anyway, there's no point in talking about improvements. Symantec has already told us to buy another product as they are discontinuing this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the vulnerability assessment and asset prioritization feature valuable."
"The solution's interface looks good, which enhances asset scanning and ensures automatic patching."
"It's a simple product."
"The most valuable feature of QualysGuard Policy Compliance is the automation that can detect real-time threats and decrease risks."
"The reporting and security checks are valuable."
"The platform allows multiple features that are very useful. The first one is being able to define the enterprise policy. The second one is to be able to automatically check the compliance level based on that policy, and the third one is that it allows us to generate reports and dashboards to see the compliance level easily."
 

Cons

"The support mechanism can be improved."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"There is no clear mapping for the CIS controls in terms of how they should be implemented into Qualys, so the implementation stage might be a little bit challenging for the customer. That means that the customer will end up opening support cases, which will overload their support team to explain those. If they are somehow published somewhere, it would save time and effort for both sides."
"Some sort of education or knowledge base about the product would be beneficial for beginners."
"It would be good if the solution’s technical support could be faster."
"The policy creation aspect needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Symantec Control Compliance Suite was the cheaper option for us. But the main reason why we're still using it is that we purchased the complete suite back in 2011."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it is neither expensive nor very cheap."
"The prices might be a little bit high. I cannot compare it with another product because we did not try any other product, but this is my impression when comparing different modules."
