Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."It helped with some of the regulatory requirements. It also helped with some of the security analytics and analysis. It was worthwhile from that perspective."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides a simple English recommendation on actions that you need to take once a vulnerability is discovered."
"The reporting features are good and there are many built-in reports that can be quickly configured."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"Provides great functionality."
"It was not as easy to use. The user-friendliness of it was somewhat lower than what I was expecting. It was also lacking in terms of the ease of the setup. There should be an automatic agent for deployment."
"The interface could be improved by having sub-groups of tests, ultimately making the process of collecting tests faster."
"Building policies is not that easy. There are some things that are turned off by default, for example, displaying values."
"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."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
