They should come up with a free trial option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Qualys WAS is a web application scanning app which monitors the threats in web apps."
5/5
What do you like best about Qualys WAS?

We faced major security breach in our system before we started this app. It offers two types of securities. First of all the network security which is great in many aspects. It scans the unauthorized access every time and tries to send mails for recognition. The special feature is the vulnerability scanning technique. This points out the weakness in the system and empowers them. It is very easily launched with the cloud platform. The regular updates regarding the vulnerability management are also the thing in this app. Secondly it offers the computer security feature. It further brings the audit trail that is giving some major monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qualys WAS?

Some of the features should be included in it for much better use like firewall and activity monitoring. This can prove great in so many ways for online security system. The intrusion detection system is important as well for detecting the malicious activities going on. It is also missing in this app. Anti virus and anti spam are the must features and this app does not have this as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Although it doesn't replace a penetration testing, it is amazing to keep monitoring vulnerabilities"
4/5
What do you like best about Qualys WAS?

Once you set up your web application scan, you can schedule monthly scans to ensure your website is not vulnerable. In this way, it is easy to monitor the vulnerabilities on your environment. I also like to use the Qualys WAS to monitor my Wordpress website for missing patches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qualys WAS?

As any WAS solution, this does not replace a pentesting. There is a considerable amount of false-positives and false-negatives. Also, the initial WAS configuration may be a little bit overwhelming, there are a LOT of parameters and some of them are not that well described. However, once you set your scan, you will never have to worry about it anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
