PROS

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management provides end-of-life and end-of-service information, improving software and hardware management.
It offers real-time visibility into assets across development and operational environments, enhancing security posture.
Authorized and unauthorized software visibility helps understand security controls on the network and improves overall security management.

CONS

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management requires improvements in integration with other CMDB systems and cloud agents to enhance communication with external products and vendors.
There is a need for better control over vulnerability and asset export options, allowing users to filter and select what they wish to export.
Scan frequency in the EASM module needs more flexibility, allowing users to schedule scans without needing to consult Qualys support.
CPU consumption by the agent is high, over ten percent, which requires attention.
False positives are generated in EASM, which necessitates addressing inaccuracies such as fetching assets with irrelevant keywords.

I use it primarily with tagging, asset counts, and groups that we can put them in, and we also use it to tell if a device has been merged and seen in Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management, so that's beneficial for us too.

It de-duplicates findings and helps you understand what the vulnerabilities from your external scans and your external attack surface management are and how they connect to the vulnerabilities on your internal scans.

There have been a couple of times where Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management wasn't accessible and I'd reach out to our TAM and they'd say, 'Qualys is down.' They say, 'We'll let you know when it's back up.' Of course, they never let you know when it's back up.
