"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"I am impressed with the tool's visibility."
"One of the most valuable features I found was the ability of this solution to map the network and show you the communication between your containers and your different nodes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring feature."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share resources."
"The benefit of working with the solution is the fact that it's very straightforward...It is a perfectly stable product since the details are very accurate."
"Segmentation is the most powerful feature."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"Qualys VM should improve its methodology."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"The deprecation of APIs is a concern since the deprecation of APIs will cause issues for us every time we upgrade."
"The solution's price could be better."
"The solution's visibility and vulnerability prevention should be improved."
"The initial setup is pretty complex. There's a learning curve, and its cost varies across different environments. It's difficult."
"The solution lacks features when compared to some of the competitors such as Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and has room for improvement."
"The testing process could be improved."
"The documentation about Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security available online is very limited... So it's very limited to the documentation."
"Red Hat is somewhat expensive."
