Qualys delivers always-on discovery with agents and authenticated scans and also covers public cloud, containers, and on-premise assets. TruRisk scoring pinpoints the riskiest findings and pushes tickets into ServiceNow or similar systems and then re-checks fixes automatically. These capabilities match or exceed what top vulnerability tools provide.

Qualys provides agents and APIs for every mainstream desktop, server, cloud and container environment, and supports SAML SSO. Built-in connectors push asset and vulnerability data straight into ServiceNow CMDB as well as Splunk and QRadar without custom code. This breadth of native coverage positions its compatibility at the top end of the market.

Qualys Vulnerability Management provides workable dashboards and standard drill-downs but the look and feel lags newer rivals. New users often need guidance to find key views. Custom reports frequently need manual clean-up before sharing.

Qualys provides 24×7 phone and portal help from security specialists, not just during business hours. New vulnerability checks are normally released the same day a CVE goes public, keeping coverage timely. Enterprise customers also receive a named success manager who guides adoption and resolves issues quickly.
