Straightforward to set up and good support but needs to be on the cloud
I've used the solution for patch management and some fixing after other scanning and testing. We try to do the fixing from a single console under a single patch to improve efficiency It can provide good snapshots.  With other products, I have to write my own scripts. With this solution, I do not…
Revathi VeeraRaghavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides comprehensive visibility and covers the complete attack surface
For some of the software, there was no life cycle or general information. We wanted them to give details in the database as and when the software comes. I raised a ticket for that, and after that, they updated the details for more than one million software. They should address the false positives generated in EASM. It is fetching assets that have Infosys as the keyword. They should fix that. When we click on the web application, it only shows potential web assets. The application details are not there. Overall, CSAM has matured a lot. These are the few enhancements that need to be done.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"My favourite feature of Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is its ability to target missing software."
"Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management offers comprehensive features to cover our entire attack surface."
"Our favorite features are the tagging and the ability to quickly find assets in the portal."
"Authorized and unauthorized software visibility is the best feature for me."
"The most valuable aspect we receive from Qualys is the remediation."
"It provides most of the information needed regarding the assets, including the operating system and whether the assets are network devices or servers."
"I would rate Qualys CSAM a ten out of ten."
"Tags are very useful for us since we can tag virus applications in infrastructure types such as databases, operating systems, or web platforms."
 

Cons

"It should be more scalable."
"For the Windows upgrade, the errors we experience are not clear. We see a time out error but do not know the reason. We would like to know the root cause."
"The deployment is somewhat complicated and could be made more user-friendly for most users."
"Qualys could improve by enhancing its dynamic tagging and role-based access control features, and by refining its user interface for a more intuitive and efficient user experience."
"Qualys CSAM is not super responsive, and there can be delays sometimes, especially with the network passive sensor. You might see duplicate objects which eventually disappear but it takes time. If that can be done faster, it will be great."
"Further research and development are needed to enhance integration with other cloud agents and products, particularly improving communication with external products and vendors."
"The UI needs improvement as it can become overwhelming after prolonged use."
"The main aspect that needs improvement is the user interface, which should be more intuitive."
"They should address the false positives generated in EASM. It is fetching assets that have Infosys as the keyword. They should fix that."
"In my opinion, the area that needs improvement is the role-based access control (RBAC). The access privilege management needs to be more robust and streamlined to enhance user access management."
