Overall Satisfaction with Qualys VMDR

In our organization we use the Qualys VMDR cloud solution in order to compliment our asset management team in recognizing vulnerabilities with our assets, collect information on our our IoT assets, and analyze risk with a proactive approach. In our line of work we focus highly on ensuring cybersecurity risks are at an all time low and Qualys VMDR reports help with that immensely as we have such a large environment.

Pros

  • Qualys VMDR automates the remediation process for risks without code.
  • Scans and detects all of our assets whether they are IT or IOT
  • Analyzes our environment for misconfigurations and measures risk against industry benchmarks

Cons

  • Qualys VMDR can definitely improve on its reporting of assets as we have caught devices not captured in the Qualys VMDR scans.
  • We would like to see an improvement on the dashboard interface as it is faulty sometimes.
  • Qualys VMDR should focus on more competitive pricing as it is very expensive.
  • Automated risk remediation
  • Report comparisons to industry benchmarks allow us to fortify at an enterprise level.
  • Give visibility of what devices and assets have exposure to the internet to help reduce cybersecurity risks.
  • The Qualys VMDR reports allow us to be proactive in mitigating risks which is an immediate positive ROI
  • With the asset scans we are able to see which devices we own and which ones are no longer in our environment and we can realize cost easier.
  • It helps us prevent cyber security attacks which also provides a great ROI as we lower the chances of outages.
Qualys VMDR was selected against competitors because of the depth of insight the platform provides. When stacked against other competitors, platforms like Syxsense couldn't produce the same level on insight and reporting like how Qualys VMDR does. Qualys VMDR also does a great job at gathering information about the latest security definitions and using those to analyze our environment to alert of any vulnerabilities. Something that Syxsense couldn't.

Yes

Did implementation of Qualys VMDR go as expected?

Would you buy Qualys VMDR again?

Yes

Qualys VMDR is best suited for larger companies with a very large IT asset footprint. Qualys VMDR is not suited for businesses that are small and upcoming as the price for the tool is very expensive and could be a budget sink if not used properly. In our organization we use the Qualys VMDR dashboard and reporting in order to collect any vulnerabilities we miss during our routine audits to ensure that our environment is stable and protected for attacks.
