The pricing of Qualys is promising, but I don't have the specifics. Based on my experience, both Qualys and Tenable have similar price points, but clients choose based on whether they need a comprehensive Qualys Patch Management solution or an alternative.

The pricing for Qualys Patch Management is worth it. You definitely want to be able to address your vulnerability issues in any way possible, and patching definitely makes it easy because at least over half of the vulnerabilities usually come with a patch.
From a pricing perspective, I find Qualys to be a bit higher, but it is worth it. Compared to other tools, it is on the costly side, but I believe it is worth the investment.
Qualys Patch Management comes as part of a bundled package with several modules, making it a cost-effective deal for us. I cannot speak to the separate cost, as we have always used it as part of the package.

From what I have heard, Qualys Patch Management is pricey, which is a main barrier to entry. Another aspect that I do not like about Qualys is that they do not add new patch management functionalities to the existing package. It is a separate SKU, so you have to pay more money.
It is affordable, but they should provide features as per the rate they are charging. We have a big infrastructure with about 80,000 licenses. We expect better support from the Qualys team. So, it is affordable, but more features should be there, and the support should be better.
Qualys Patch Management's pricing is competitive. While some perceive it as expensive, competitor tools are similar. While a free option like Microsoft WSUS exists, it lacks features. While I'd prefer Qualys VMDR to include Cyber Security Asset Management for a more attractive overall package, Patch Management itself remains competitively priced. Scaling brings lower per-asset costs, and Qualys recently introduced better pricing bundles for smaller environments.
Qualys Patch Management optimizes patching and vulnerability remediation through automation and intelligence insights, accelerating the process by 43% and improving patch rates by 90%. Its integration with CMDB and ITSM tools speeds up ticket closures by 60%, effectively reducing the attack surface while freeing IT and security resources. This cloud-based solution bridges the IT-security gap, making it essential for cybersecurity.
