FAVORABLE

“Solid hybrid asset solution for ISO/SOC focused even for industrial automations.”

Nov 30, 2025
While working in a small fast growing product based startup serving in OT and IT and an emerging towards getting certified for ISO and SOC II we believe Qualys will help us a lot in future also, meanwhile till now it has helped us way too much better than any other. As it was deployed on Cloud which mapped the assests over the whole infra with the PLC's and Cloud Infra with Docker Containers and also the automated scan for the web app vuln test was also satisfied as we already minimized the most known vulnerabilty on manual hunt and was left by API Headers as while being on automation audit scans it makes relevently look low on secure dev so we fixed it with the bussiness logics too. Asset discovery and its Benchmark proved really effective for patching.

Dislike

1. The product license cost is high when compared to other CAASM solutions. the license cost can be reduced and new features can be included. 2. Integration with other existing IT Products needs to be improved. As some well known It products integration with qualys is not supporting and complicated with other products integration. 3. Customization is not there, the customization as per the needs should be taken into account and improve. the customized reports cannot be generated as per the requirements and that is the disadvantage of the prduct.

    Comprehensive Product Faces Setbacks Due To Inconsistent Technical Support Quality

    4.0
    Oct 28, 2025
    The two negatives that I'd share before going into the positives are not necessarily huge. However, they did affect my ability to work with the product and customize it. 1. Customer Service - The L1 technicians were often slow to respond and clearly used a templated response, without sharing knowledge of the issues among themselves. I'm not sure how this happens but there were a couple of instances where it took over a month to connect with someone who could assist in a troubleshooting session. 2. TAMs having varying skill levels - Currently, we have a Technical Account Manager who is very skilled in the product and also in the realm of vulnerability management. However, the TAMs have changed regularly before him, and the experience has been up and down. Qualys is pretty extensive, as well as being comprehensive. I would recommend having two or more well-versed operators in larger environments. Qualys also needs good planning, in order to make the most of what it has to offer. This would be done by way of already having a well-planned strategy that it is a part of. It's easy to get lost in the weeds. When configured correctly and in perspective of a good strategy, Qualys can be used to automate many important day to day processes and reporting. Again, though, Qualys needs to set up correctly. This is to prevent excessive time reconfiguring and recovering from incorrect implementation.

    A reliable platform for visibility and security hygiene

    Aug 22, 2025
    Qualys CSAM gives us much needed single pane of glass view for understanding our asset inventory and reducing blind spots. Having all devices, services , applns automatically discovered and keeping upto date with automated patching has been phenomenal; and this also helped in improving our overall security posture.

    Dependable Asset Management Platform That Strengthens Vulnerability Operations

    4.0
    Dec 4, 2025
    Our experience with Qualys Cyber Security Asset Management has been very solid. It gives us dependable asset visibility and ties directly into our vulnerability workflows, which has helped us tighten both our hygiene and response processes. The platform still has areas where usability and data normalize can improve but overall it has delivered consistent value.
