The simple process for disputing false positives on scan results.  Also, the ability to complete and maintain your Self-Assessment Questionaires (SAQs) within the portal is helpful.

The login portal can be setup as standalone or built into the normal QualysGuard Express portal. Scans and results can also be initited from both locations.  I would rather it were all standalone or integrated into the QualysGuard Express portal interface to reduce confusion.
