Scales well and technical support is good, but it is expensive
The majority of our customers nowadays are looking forward to having cloud-based control models. However, some of our clients have to keep their data in their own data center in order to satisfy compliance. In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good. Overall, it is a very good product. That said, there are other tools that meet the feature requirements and are more cost-effective. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Continuous risk-based monitoring has strengthened incident response and vulnerability prioritization
I haven't explored Qualys VMDR's vulnerability lifecycle automation yet. One of my analysts mentioned that queries lack grouping operators in Qualys VMDR. From my experience, I would appreciate improvements in the query options in Qualys VMDR, specifically in the query-building process where I would need more features and operators. Additionally, we have been facing issues with Qualys on the cloud level. We cannot download the configuration profile from the cloud agent, and it is showing a pending action for download. During 2025, we noticed outages of Qualys a couple of times. I want to mention that there is an issue with receiving timely RCA deliveries. While this is not necessarily about the tool, it relates to support. The support has not been very responsive, and we are receiving RCAs a little delayed whenever we raise support cases or communicate with the TAMs. Additionally, the UI has a slight latency, which I and my team have experienced. They have also reported this latency issue when navigating through different pages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is simple to use."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"Tech support is helpful."
"Provides great functionality."
"I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
"I like the automated report generation and vulnerability report generation."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
 

Cons

"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"They can tweak their UI since the new version seems a bit jumbled up, and the old UI was more user-friendly."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"Improve the user interface."
"If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"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."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"The solution is costly."
"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"It's very expensive, especially if you want to use multiple modules of Qualys."
