with a one-click workflow and ITSM integrationsDon’t settle for disjointed dashboards, poorly integrated asset management, and point solutions for remediation. Where Rapid7 falls short in providing an end-to-end risk based vulnerability management program, Qualys offers a scalable platform approach which can be tailored to unique organizational needs, ultimately driving measurable reduction of cyber risk.
5 reasons to switch to Qualys from Rapid7
How can you “command your attack surface” without asset discovery or remediation?
The Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is the all-in-one, enterprise-grade cyber risk management tool that provides a unified view of risk.
Built on a foundation of risk-based vulnerability management, the platform scales with a single agent for organizations to add EASM, Patch Management, Web Application Scanning (WAS), Endpoint Detection Response (EDR), Policy Compliance (PC), and cloud workflow protection (CNAPP).
Create a unified view of risk posture across your entire attack surface and streamline remediation to de-risk your business. Let’s compare the difference.
How Qualys compares to Rapid7
|
![]() |
Ease of DeploymentCloud-delivered or on-premises with 100% feature parity. Single agent drives scalability and cohesive integration across modules. |
PartialCloud-based SaaS offering or on-premises version with reduced features and capabilities. Individual components don’t always provide streamlined experience. |
|
Vulnerability Detection and AccuracySix-Sigma accuracy (99.99966%) with 75K+ CVEs out-of-the-box and 25+ sources of threat intel. 4 hour mean-time-to-detection. |
PartialMean-time-to-detection 6 hours or less. No published data about accuracy of detection. Customers report |
|
Risk-Based PrioritizationCombine 25+ sources of threat intel, proprietary vulnerability scoring, and asset criticality into a single TruRisk prioritization score so your teams can focus on what matters. |
PartialRelies heavily on CVSS scoring, often lacking risk factors and asset criticality in “Real Risk Scores”. |
|
Asset Discovery and InventoryMost comprehensive native discover methods in the market, including IP scanning, built-in passive sensing, EASM, cloud asset discovery, and third-party connectors. Automatically normalizes asset data and de-dupes records. |
PartialIncludes network discovery scans and limited third-party integrations. No EASM. No passive sensor. No native discovery method for cloud assets. Often produces duplicate assets. |
|
Risk RemediationPatch Management is built natively into the Qualys platform, allowing patch deployment with a single click. VMDR also includes ITSM and ticketing integrations to streamline workflow and reduce MTTR for critical vulnerabilities up to 50%. |
PartialRelies exclusively on third-party patch management and ticketing solutions. No natively-built remediation capabilities. |
|
Unified Dashboard and ReportingVisualize and understand vulnerability risk across assets, groups of assets, business groups, and more. Define and track cyber risk across compliance requirements and CIS benchmarks out of the box. |
PartialReporting and dashboards often inflate risk, counting each CVE as its own vulnerability. Limited view of risk-based prioritization. No remediation capability, therefore, no remediation reporting. CIS benchmarking absent. |
|
PCI ComplianceMeet more than 97% of PCI-DSS standards with built in Policy Compliance and PCI ASV scanning services. |
NoneSolution relies on partners to perform ASV scans for customers. |
Say goodbye to your fragmented approaches and hello to a unified system that maximizes your security efforts.
The Enterprise TruRisk Platform provides you with a unified view of your entire cyber risk posture so you can efficiently aggregate and measure all Qualys & non-Qualys risk factors in a unified view, communicate cyber risk with context to your business, and go beyond patching to eliminate the risk that threatens the business in any area of your attack surface.
