Ajay Paul - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Vulnerability management has prioritized high‑risk patching and simplified bulk system reporting
The primary issue is with the reporting functionality. Even though we fix vulnerabilities, the reports do not reflect the changes immediately. Sometimes we need to manually run a script to scan the systems before Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management will update the scan results. The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner. Additionally, there are many metrics for calculating vulnerabilities, such as the Qualys ID, severity scores, CVSS scores, and other metrics. The abundance of information can be confusing. These two aspects are the most significant negatives I have experienced with this tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The live packet capture feature enables quicker troubleshooting and better network monitoring."
"Network quality monitoring of multicast TV channels and other network monitorings."
"The solution, overall, is very useful for our organization; it is very easy to use and there are lots of options, and 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's best feature is vulnerability management."
"It's worth it, really, when you see the complete picture and see all the factors."
"I found the solution quite intuitive and easy going."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"It allowed us to divide tasks easily among teammates, significantly improving efficiency."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution, and we are also cutting the need for news monitoring with this solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"The web interface is ok, but I would like to see if it was possible to group jobs better and to create our own dashboards."
"Expanding the template library would be very useful."
"The IoT scan is not great and we would like to see some improvements to it."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"However, I am not satisfied with Qualys support. The response time is slower than needed."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"I felt hindered sometimes within reports in that they were lacking somewhat on the customization side in terms of making use of the data."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is reasonably priced for the value it provides."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"There is a license for the use of this solution. We pay annually instead of monthly to receive a better discount on the price."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"The pricing is very competitive."
