Likelihood to Recommend

Qualys cloud is well suited as a global solution for monitoring the security of your network. It is well suited for vulnerability scanning, policy compliance, asset discovery and threat protection as well as cloud inventory and application security scanning (for both public web apps and in-house applications). The best feature and also the one that provides us the most value is the VMDR (vulnerability management, detection and response). This is a crucial part of our overall security function. Scenarios where we find it less appropriate are in patch management.
