Helps find vulnerabilities, reduces response time to critical vulnerabilities, and reduces false alerts
The vulnerability assessment is great. We can use it to fix all the vulnerabilities before we get them from our internal security team. It reduces a lot of false alerts. We have an option for a manual fix and an automatic fix. It clearly distinguishes what can be done by an automatic fix, which the tool can do, and what needs manual intervention. The tool gives us the steps to fix it. The automated vulnerability fixes, test deployment of patches, and the baselines are valuable. We can set a baseline or whatever we recommend and ensure the systems adhere to the baseline. The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them. It's not an active threat-hunting tool. We use the asset management capabilities in our service desk platform. It is really good. It is beneficial since we can fix vulnerabilities. The reporting feature has helped us in compliance and risk management. We can have custom reports. I can schedule reports. We must find baselines and accordingly use them to fix some of our requirements. The solution has reduced our response time to critical vulnerabilities. We have a patching window. The tool has enabled us to get all our machines in a compliant state.

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.

Pros

"The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them."
