The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Good visibility but expensive and needs better support
Support: It's often overseas and often following a script, basically asking us to redo what we opened the case with. Multiple APIs: There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys. We had to use manual inputs and some API calls to get items in place. Dashboard: It is very rudimentary with very little customization. The Qualys Scripting Language (QSL) works differently in different Qualys modules, so when you get it working in one area you have to modify the syntax in others. User account management: We often have to give users more rights than needed just to give them what they need. Integration with the various Qualys Modules: You can tell the UI is different based on of the different teams that created them. QSL syntax same in all modules Responsiveness of some of the components: They time out, you get a blank screen, etc. Backend updates between the various modules: You update connectors and information takes a few minutes to show in VMDR or Global Asset View Connectors: Connectors have a throttling issue with AWS which causes them to frequently fail unless you manually run them again.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"Qualys VMDR provides us with a quick response to threat findings through regular scheduled scanning, which improves our security operations."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
 

Cons

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"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."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"Improve the user interface."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"There are scenarios where a vulnerability is reported once yet not in subsequent scans, even if we have not fixed it."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product was expensive for us."
"I believe the price compares well within the market."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"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."
"There is a license for the use of this solution. We pay annually instead of monthly to receive a better discount on the price."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"The pricing and licensing for Qualys could be improved."
