Qualys VMDR Reviews

We are a system integrator. We implement Qualys for our customers for vulnerability management and policy compliance. We are not using Qualys as a product in our company. We have public, private, and hybrid cloud as well as on-premises deployments.

There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features.

Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching.

They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework. 

I have been using this solution for three years.

Qualys is a reliable, strong, and solid product. 

It is scalable. The main advantage of Qualys is that it is a cloud-based solution because of which you can scale it up or down according to your needs. It is very quick and flexible.

Because we are in the Middle East, we deal with the office in Dubai. You cannot imagine how supportive they are. They are amazing in their response.

The initial setup was easy. It has great hardware. Its deployment was easier than Rapid7, which is a bit complicated. Tenable is less complicated, but Qualys is faster and easier to deploy than Tenable. 

I deployed Qualys in two hours. It is easy to install, manage, and go through. There are multiple tabs, and everything is understandable.

Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions.

I would recommend Qualys because it is a reliable, affordable, and very safe product. It can have everything that you are looking for.

I would rate Qualys VM an eight out of ten.

I use Qualys to review the validity of legacy applications, infrastructure, and simple data operating systems.

The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement. 

The pricing is also expensive.

I have been using Qualys for four years. 

It's stable.

I haven't needed to use technical support. 

The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it. 

I would rate Qualys VM a ten out of ten. 

• Vulnerability assessment
• Asset management
• WAS

Since this is a SaaS based solution, the vulnerability scan with the external scanners as well as the reporting has improved a lot. The reporting is very granular and you can please higher management with your reports.

None, as the product is great.

I've used it for four years.

Stability of the product is very high, I have never seen it unavailable.

The support needs to improve a lot, their response is absolutely slow. I have had terrible experience with support over the years.

I would rate it great because of its improvement since I have had terrible experiences in the past.

We used McAfee Vulnerability Manager/Foundstone and had to switch because this is a SaaS based solution and has more features/capabilities.

The initial setup is very simple in terms of configuring the appliance.

We installed it ourselves,

I would definitely recommmend using this product, as this is very simple and yet an effective way to do vulnerability assessment.

.

I primarily use Qualys VM for vulnerability management, security configuration, and management and asset inventory.

The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks.

Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features.

I've been using Qualys VM for around eighteen years.

We've had no problems with stability.

Qualys VM is quite easy to scale, and you can cover a large number of instances.

The technical support is pretty good, though sometimes the response time could be better.

Positive

The initial setup is quite simple.

Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers. With the SaaS version, you're buying a license for use per asset, so the price can differ, and there are additional fees for features like patch management and EDR policy compliance.

We also tested Tenable and Rapid7.

I would rate Qualys VM as nine out of ten.

It gets up to date very fast.

Users do not feel any QualysGuard presence.

Solution for fixing problems need to be better documented, such as in a step by step way.

I've used it for three years.

No issues encountered.

8/10.

7/10.

No previous solution was used.

I strongly recommend that you use this solution.

It's used for vulnerability assessments, assessment of IT equipment, PCs, servers. It's supposed to help prioritize which security patches need to be deployed on that equipment.

The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need.

It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution. So far, we've been pretty happy about it. Nothing comes to mind that is negative.

Given that it's really new, we're really trying to use all of the features and get a good comfort level and gain more experience in it. For this reason, I can't speak negatively of it, yet.

We've been using Qualys for roughly six to seven years, but we've only been using Qualys VMDR for a few months.

Qualys VMDR is very stable.

Qualys VMDR is definitely scalable.

They provide a lot of free virtual training to really understand the technology and the solution. That's a plus for them.

I used to work with QualysGuard VM — an older version. The earlier version didn't have the detection response that we needed, that's why this time it has the detection response. VMDR is the evolution of the solution.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. Deployment was quick.

We implemented this solution ourselves.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. For us, it's just more of gathering more experience. The more we learn, I think we'll appreciate it, and then maybe from that point, we'll be able to say it's a nine, or a ten. It's more on us versus the solution.

WAF integration is valuable.

We can now perform vulnerability scans with WAF integration. The WAF has improved the vulnerability identification and reports to the SOC and CSO.

The IT infrastructure, especially server administration, needs to be improved.

I've used it for two years.

There was only one related, and that need work on our technology. As the solution is cloud based, we needed to adapt our internal policies.

There were no issues.

This been done without a problem.

It's good.

It's good.

There was no previous solution, but I did execute several POCs.

It was a regular setup for the configuration, but the official training was necessary.

We also looked at Nessus and GFI Languard.

Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management.

Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap. Their reporting could also be more user-friendly. In the next release, I would like Qualys to include basic policy and compliance checks in the basic licensing. 

I've been using Qualys VM for almost two years.

Qualys VM is quite stable - we've had no problems with it.

Qualys VM's scalability depends on the license that you use.

Previously we used Nessus, but only Qualys does intrusive scanning.

We used an in-house team.

An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000.

Qualys VM is a really good tool for vulnerability scanning, and it has different sets of profiles that can be utilized for your own requirements. I would rate Qualys VM as seven out of ten.
