"The simplicity of exporting reports and the simplicity and clarity of the reports included with the product are good."
"It combines both web application vulnerability management and internal vulnerability management on one platform and dashboard. Usually, you have to purchase separate tools."

"The most valuable feature of Qualys Web Application Scanning is the effective scanning that can be done."
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"
"It should have better automatic reporting."
"There could be better management and faster scanning."
"The area of false positives could be improved. There are quite a number of false positives as compared to other solutions. They could probably fine tune the algorithm to be able to reduce the number of false positives being detected."
"There should be better visibility into the application."
"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us."
"The GUI could be a little less complicated as it opens a lot of new windows for creating search lists, templates, reports, or for scanning purposes."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly."
