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."
"The most valuable features of Qualys VMDR include patch management and the use of virtual scanners to scan appliances and devices, especially those provided by vendors where we cannot manage them ourselves."
"I am impressed with the VMDR feature."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"From the application security perspective, Qualys has a way to go."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"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."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"There are scenarios where a vulnerability is reported once yet not in subsequent scans, even if we have not fixed it."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000."
"The solution is expensive."
"I used to work there, so I never paid for the product. As an employee, we get a lifetime license for personal use, and that's what I'm using. It is a comprehensive platform, so there is a lot more to it. There could be other solutions that are probably a little bit cheaper, but it depends on what people need. Different people have different needs. It offers many things on the same platform. If you add all the things up, it should be cheaper, but I have not done any analysis specifically."
"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
