Qualys VMDR Reviews

We are consultants and resellers of Qualys VM. 

I like the solution's web application security for scanning, the solution is flexible with good integration. 

I'd like to see additional security for the app. The product lacks integrations for third party solutions or automation integration for other tools.

I've been using this solution for six months. 

The product is 100% stable. There are five users in the company who deal with operations and security analysis. There are four people in the company who deploy and provide support.

I've never used the technical support. Documentation is simple and complete. 

I've previously worked with Tenable IO and Rapid 7. We switched because of Qualys's web application feature.

The initial setup is straightforward. Initial deployment takes between two and four hours. We did it ourselves. 

I would recommend this solution. 

I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10. 

QualysGuard provides a solution for network security, web application security and compliance.

Vulnerability management and policy/PCI compliance are the features that I have used which I think are the most valuable.

We use QualysGuard to identify all network and compliance-related violations of the assets. The report generated by the product will have a detailed description and solution. This has helped us to provide a certificate of compliance or a clean sheet for our vendors.

I'm looking forward to having an exploitation framework, a platform/framework that helps to cross verify the vulnerabilities like Metasploit.

I've used it for four years.

I have evaluated multiple products that include commercial as well as open source. There are different solutions available with other products, but I feel this is the integrated product which covers information security and compliance comprehensively.

Also, the results provided by the product are accurate and precise.

The primary use case of Qualys VMDR was to monitor around two hundred users, servers, and VMs weekly. We needed to ensure that all vulnerabilities were tracked and addressed. Our users were mainly developers using various applications, and we needed to ensure compliance with client requirements. The goal was to keep our systems up-to-date and secure.

Before using Qualys VMDR, we used OpenVAS, an open-source solution. It was challenging to find a direct solution for vulnerabilities. 

With Qualys VMDR, it became simple to understand the severity of issues and prioritize fixes. We could ensure our top management was satisfied, knowing issues were visible and addressed. 

It allowed us to divide tasks easily among teammates, significantly improving efficiency. We saw a return on investment in time, money, and resources.

Qualys VMDR offers a one-stop solution for monitoring and reporting. The UI is straightforward and user-friendly, and even beginners can master it in a day. 

It allows for simplicity in understanding issues and generating reports for clear visibility. The benefits of task division among teammates and the ability to work together without delays were significant.

Qualys VMDR identifies vulnerabilities and suggests fixes. However, it does not automate patching unless the patch management module is purchased separately. 

Automating features could reduce manual efforts and make the process less lengthy. Integration of AI could enhance benefits, especially in handling false positives.

I have used the solution for around three years.

We did not experience any bugs, glitches, or downtime. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

Scalability depends on the license and the number of assets being monitored. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support provided by Qualys is pretty good, and I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Before Qualys VMDR, we used Greenhorn’s OpenVAS. It was open-source, but it offered no direct solutions. Reports were only available with scheduled scans, which made immediate issue resolution difficult.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment was up and running in a day with assistance from the support team.

Only one person was involved in implementing Qualys VMDR.

We saw a return on investment through significant savings in time, money, and resources. The solution allowed for efficient task management among team members.

For smaller enterprises, the pricing is on the pricier side. However, for larger enterprises, it's considered okay. I would rate the pricing between seven to eight out of ten.

We previously used OpenVAS.

Overall, the solution is highly rated because of its simplicity and efficiency. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
