Sometimes the deployment is complicated. The deployment should be easier and more consistent.

When setting up the solution, it was quite a challenge when trying to set up the internal VM. The guides were not able to give all the scenarios one might encounter when installing the product. At some point, we became stuck, not knowing what to do next.

Work closely with your network administrator. The challenge for us was when trying to connect the virtual machine to the cloud on Qualys, ensuring the firewall policy and rules are in line with the communication passing through without being dropped anywhere.

The initial setup was super easy because it is cloud-based. We use it internally. The installation took two days. We had to improve the tools and create the tags and assets. Two or three engineers can deploy the product. The product is easy to maintain.

The initial setup, due to the fact that it is the cloud, is very easy. It's a SaaS solution. We don't have to install anything in order to get going. You are on it right away. There is no deployment time to get through. 

Since it's so quick and immediate, you don't need a big team to get it of the ground.

Because of tasking, the initial setup is very straightforward. We didn't have to purchase any hardware for the installation. It is task-based. The cloud provision is there. It is good. I think nowadays everyone is going with the cloud provisioning. That way you can subscribe for any number of years to use the software. 

I think the initial setup took a couple of hours because there were no plugins and nothing to be installed.

The initial setup of Qualys Web Application Scanning is simple for us. However, we have trained engineers that are registered. The deployment did not take very long.

We used Verizon to help us with the rollout, and there were no trouble tickets or any technical issues with the rollout, so I would say the implementation was pretty smooth. The design-build phase took a couple of weeks.

Setup of WAS is pretty straightforward and only the organization of endpoints is a bit complex.

The setup varies based on whether the scanning is for internal or external purposes. Each has its specific requirements and configurations, such as deploying scanner appliances for internal scans. 

Therefore, it's not just a single score; the complexity can range, especially if internal scans are considered, which require more setup.

Qualys offers two deployment methods for web application scanning: internal and external. For internal scans, a scanner can be installed on your network to scan internal applications. 

For external scans, Qualys utilizes cloud-based scanners to scan publicly accessible web applications without requiring any installation on your end.

It took about a month to get the Qualys scan completely integrated and automated in our CI/CD pipeline, but much of that was due to licensing issues and poor API documentation, not the product installation itself.

We use the cloud instances for our setups. We have one setup, and it is on the cloud, so it is not complex. Actually, we don't have to do any set up. 

We have applications located in our different offices, and so far there set up has not been a challenge.

It is a straightforward implementation. Once you register over the Internet, they assign you a set of static IP addresses which can be used to perform web-based scans. The administrator panel is easy to understand and create.
