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."
"In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good."
"It has helped to automate the vulnerability management program, increasing the security posture and helped us to identify the security risks in our infrastructure."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are that it is a simple solution that makes scanning easy."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"What I like best about this product is that it does what it is supposed to do, which is vulnerability scanning."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM has greatly helped us to improve and maintain our posture of security."
"The initial setup and onboarding process of Qualys VMDR was quite smooth, as we were able to draft the SOPs from the documentation portal itself and everything was available in the documentation, so it was not a hassle for us to get the integrations done on time."
 

Cons

"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"We face issues while scanning multiple assets."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"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."
"The customer support is very bad; when we submit a ticket, we do not get a response immediately."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"Streamline PCI integration and attestation."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"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."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"We have an annual contract for Qualys VMDR. I believe it's for either two years or five years."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"There is a license for the use of this solution. We pay annually instead of monthly to receive a better discount on the price."
