Stable and scalable solution
So the idea is to control all the endpoints we have in the company, and ManageEngine helps with that. We find it very useful as we are using the cloud solution In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features. The engineering area needs improvement. I have…

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

"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
"The technical support is great."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability assessment."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"Provides great functionality."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
 

Cons

"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"Qualys VMDR should improve authenticated scanning capabilities."
"Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
"Support could be improved since the response can be slow."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"One area of the product that could be improved is the management of vulnerabilities detected on disabled applications."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"The solution is reasonably priced for the value it provides."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
