Overall Satisfaction with Qualysguard
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.
- API Task scheduling and configuration
- Threat database updates through authenticated scanning of Windows and Unix operating systems
- Reporting capabilities
- The API query can only support limited number of connections in a time period without calling support to request more, I would suggest removing that limitation.
- ROI was noticed with reduction of compromises which required server downtime and incident response.
- Nessus, OpenVAS and Nmap
Qualysguard is a leader and is on par with the Nessus enterprise version.
