Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly
I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…
Harold Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It gives you a lot of options, and it integrates with our ServiceNow for ticketing and all."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
 

Cons

"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"From the application security perspective, Qualys has a way to go."
"Support could be improved since the response can be slow."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"In terms of improvement for the web application console, in the older version, things were more segregated and presented in a brief format."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"The solution is costly."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
