Qualys VMDR Likes & Dislikes
I like the functionalities the most. From interactive dashboards, knowledgebase, prioritization threat feeds and its easy to use QQL (Qualys Query Language), I'm able to receive up to date vulnerability information and identify the necessary remediation steps to secure our assets from all kinds of vulnerabilities. This has helped our organization reduce a significant amount of risk.

Read Full ReviewLo que me gusta de la herramienta es el modulo de priorización de vulnerabilidades ya que te permite tomar desiciones agilmente para atacar aquellas que tienen un alto potencial de ser utilizadas basadas en la explotabilidad y otros factores.
Read Full Review-Was hard for me to learn at first. I had to teach the product to myself. But there are many guided channels and forums to help new users learn and be successful. -The Query language can be buggy at times. It is sensitive and must be meticulous -Creating some exceptions, whether it be in option profiles, ignoring vulnerabilities can be confusing.
Read Full ReviewSupport teams have slow response times. The product says it can do xyz (patch certain applications), but it can't. The reports are very Windows 2000.

Qualys VMDR Reviews and Ratings

Qualys - A product that could have been great.
Qualys VMDR is strong when it comes to detection and assessment, but my experience has highlighted several limitations that impact efficiency and customer experience. What works well - Comprehensive vulnerability scanning: It does a good job of exposing vulnerabilities across environments and provides a solid foundation for your security posture. - Cloud-based platform: no need for on-premise appliances which simplifies deployment and maintenance - Integration with patch management: the ability to link vulnerabilities with patching is useful and automated jobs can be configured to support assets Challenges and pain points - Limited 3rd party application patching coverage. It says it works, but it doesn't. MS patches, however, work fine. - Reporting burden: reports are not intuitive and require manual formatting. Preparing a report for a customer can take hours. The reports are very Windows 2000 style. - Accuracy concerns: vulnerability counts are inflated. A single outdated app can generate hundreds of entries even when superseded updates are ignored. - Performance issues: The platform is... SLOW!. After 5pm UK time it grinds to a halt and checks take between 4-8 hours. - Licensing complexity: Patching licenses are separate to VMDR which adds admin overhead and can lead to activation issues if not calculated correctly. Support is terrible. P1 first response can take weeks. - SECURITY ANALYST50M-1B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source

Qualys VMDR Delivers Core Functionality but Lacks User-Friendly Features and Innovation
I found Qualys VMDR to be functional but not exceptional. It gets the job done but doesn't really offer the ease of use, speed, or innovation you'd expect from a top-tier solution
