The vulnerability management feature is a strong one. And also the patch management feature.

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 feature that I have found most valuable is the progressive scan. It is good. It's done in 24 hours.

Qualys' process of updating signatures is something we really appreciate, and it's way ahead of its industry peers.

We can do scanning and submit reports straight to the customers when there are new vulnerabilities, then tell them whether they are affected or not.

Qualys Web Application Scanning Cons review quotes

There's a distinction between internal and external scanning processes that could be streamlined. Currently, for internal scanning, specific configurations and scanner appliances need to be deployed within the network, which differs from the simpler setup for external scans. This dual process complicates the setup for comprehensive scanning coverage.

The pricing does not seem to be competitive.

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.

The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs.

We procured around 110 licenses for Web Application Scanning, but we have issues running concurrent scans. I don't currently have the option to trigger scans for all 100-plus websites. The default limit is around 10 conference scans. It's not very scalable, to be honest, because of the limitation that they put on concurrent scans.

Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly.

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.
