"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it.

"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."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
