What do you like best about Qualys VM?

The Asset Management function of VMDR provides significant visibility into the IT environment, foundational for security management. Depending upon your license, you can manage asset vulnerabilities throughout the complete vulnerability lifecycle. Asset View provides hardware and software asset management capabilities (agents are installed on endpoints, network ranges are scanned, passive sensors are installed on network segments to detect new assets as they connect. The product suite as a whole is quite comprehensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qualys VM?

Because a lot of modules need to be licensed to provide comprehensive management, licensing costs can build up and licensing the entire product suite can become expensive. In order to get the full benefit of the product, and to most effectively streamline vulnerability management operations, it is helpful to have the entire product suite at your disposal. Licensing, say, just the vulnerability management module without the patching module requires that technicians use the Qualys tool to detect vulnerabilities and a separate tool to remediate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Qualys VM:

Allocate time for tranining and work closely with your technical account manager (TAM). We've found our TAM to be an invaluable resource who guided us through just about every aspect of the implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Qualys VM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to implementing qualys, our vulnerability management had been siloed and solely managed via point-in-time scans by third party vendors. This product suite allows us to continuously manage vulnerabilities. We are using this product in a multi-site geographically separated environment in which technicians cannot always be present. The suite gives us a level of visibility we didn't previously have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
