Qualys Review

Qualys Cloud Platform is a great program.
The performance that we have had with this program has been great since it has been the only program that has offered us a long list of options to scan as well as manage the level of vulnerability in all the applications and websites where our system runs, thanks With the help of Qualys Cloud Platform you can see in detail all the IT services that I use the most.

Qualys strikes again
Qualys Cloud Platform (specifically the Global AssetView module) enabled us to manage, view, and control all devices and endpoints in our organizations and sort them in various ways, push scripts selectively based on group, and generally keep things organized in a way that helped our whole team understand where everything was, and what state it was in, and address concerns immediately if need be.

Qualys Cloud Platform review
We use Qualys Cloud Platform to help us to
identify vulnerabilities, monitor for threats, and respond to security
incidents.
The automation of the scanning and reporting, saves us a lot of time and makes it possible to be aware of the security level of both our internal and external systems and to detect vulnerabilities and prioritize the remediation of them.

We are using it to address multiple issues like Endpoint scanning , Hardware scanning, Remote scanning system, Cloud agent with custom configuration, and SAAS-secured connectors. It supports all the major clouds so it's good for us to maintain the SOC and compliance. Data analysis in real-time. Alert response to threats is very good.

Qualys Cloud Platform for Patch Management is a quick and effective tool to get started
We used the platform as a part of the Patch Management tool for us and our customer environments. It was good and effective tool, to work on the patching activities, with ease of access, smooth functioning. When compared to other tools this was a bit cost effective and also was worth the purchase.

Integration was one of our key challenges as we were going through a consolidation of many tools. Bringing everything together and getting visibility in one Qualys dashboard has helped us. To secure our IT infrastructure and manage all risks related to our assets in one place is very easy now. Now we can see everything related to asset on dashboard and take action quickly.

Qualys cloud: good product to use
In my previous organisation (capgemini), I had implemented and used qualys for vulnerability scanning and management. It is very user friendly tool and it has very organised way to manage the scanning asset and option profile as well as reporting service and remediation steps. Can be easily integrated with splunk to get the logs at centralised location to investigate and monitor the status of patching.
We use the Qualys Cloud Platform for three main strands in our information security. Firstly it gives us excellent visibility of internal and external vulnerabilities across our technology estate. This allows us to identify any potential gaps in software patching, and determine whether any vulnerable end-of-life software is installed on any of our physical or virtual devices. Secondly, we use Qualys for scheduling, analysing and managing PCI scans, a requirement of our PCI DSS certification as a Level 1 service provider. Finally, and more and more crucially as we migrate an increasing number of workloads into the cloud, we use the Qualys CloudView product to report on any potential insecure configuration issues across our AWS & Azure estates. Using a single vendor for these three key pieces of functionality enables us to better manage costs, and leverage our existing customer success relationship. Qualys are excellent both at reactive customer support for security incidents or technical queries, and proactively reaching out to us to make sure we're both making the best use of the functionality included in our existing contract and working with us to see if there's anything they can do to help with our emerging and ongoing security challenges and requirements.

Qualys WAS has a lot of scope for improvement
We used it for pre-release scans of our products each month. It was used by the Information Security team who would help the Development teams to ensure that products are bug-free before they get released to our customers.

Beware of Qualys
We currently use Qualys for threat detection and penetration testing on several of our SaaS solutions. We also install the cloud agent on every workstation. Only the IT and IS departments have access to the admin console. The business problem that it addresses is vulnerability scanning and increases the hardening of our critical systems.

Happy Qualys user.
We are using Qualys to monitor all our infrastructure residing in both AWS and Azure infrastructure. We also monitor web URLs. This is used by both IT and operations. We periodically run the scans and get the reports and make sure all the systems are in line with our security policies. As a result of this we are able to correct any violation almost immediately especially around the new resources that are continuously created.

Delivers as intended!
We installed Qualys Policy and Compliance approx. 1 year ago in order to help automate our assets security configuration profile and be alerted when something deviates. This helps keep our yearly attestations in check with minimal manual research. This aids in not only compliance but greatly increases our security posture by alerting when an IT administrator or client support staff install something outside normal approved software.
Qualys is our main vulnerability management solution, it is responsible for scanning 200+ assets.

A decent vulnerability scan platform
We use Qualys as the main vulnerability scanner. It is used to scan the on-premise devices such as servers, switches, etc.
We have several scanners deployed in different locations in order to cover all sites, and scheduled scans that run on a periodic basis.
Qualys helps us to prioritize the mitigation, it includes not only OS patches, but also 3rd party software.

Best platform for finding/remediating vulnerabilities
It is being used both across the whole organization, as well as at the department level. It is the platform used. It is used mainly for vulnerability scanning endpoints on the network, and then remediating those vulnerabilities. It is also used by some do do reporting and tracking of vulnerabilities. Internally, we mainly use it to scan individual computers, and well as groups of computers within a certain department. With regards to the vulnerabilities, we can determine if patching is needed on the endpoints.
It addresses the business problem of helping to secure networks from intrusions and vulnerabilities. It helps IT see what computers on the network has vulnerabilities, and offers them an opportunity to remediate those vulnerabilities.

I love Qualys PC
I am a Qualys Consultant, so we use Qualys Policy Compliance (PC) as a tool for clients and assist in the purchase and install of Qualys products. For the money I find Qualys to be the most sensible investment a small to medium-sized company can make.

Qualysguard to improve the quality of your security posture
We used the Qualys API and python to create rolling scheduled scans of every 2 weeks for every network for our organization. We first focused on critical and high vulnerabilities with direction to remediate or remove the system within 30 days. We saw a drastic reduction in number of attacks and compromises for systems across the enterprise.

The better vulnerability management tool
We used Qualysguard to automate testing of our environment for vulnerabilities. We used several groups to run the testing some with longer and more extensive tests. Mostly this was done in two phases, once before a resource was deployed for use and then several times after over duration to ensure any vulnerabilities were caught.
At my current organization, Qualysguard is primarily used for discovery of assets and verification of secure configuration/patching by our security team. Our team is also assessing Qualysguard WAS to build into our secure development practices.
At my previous organization, we provided self-service capability for our engineers designing/building our products to perform their own infrastructure scans to identify security configuration flaws as early in the build process as possible. We also used Qualysguard for discovery of assets and verification of secure configuration/patching.
In both organizations, Qualysguard has added a ton of value.
