Greetings list, Yesterday some reps from Qualys came with a sales presentation for their QualysGuard appliance. I'd like to solicit your comments and opinions on that product. In particular, do you think it's $45,000 per year better than Nessus? (That's about the cost we'd face based on our IP address range.) They claim it costs as much in administration to run Nessus. Does Qualys' claim to more vulnerability signatures and faster/easier updates hold water? Any input you can offer is greatly appreciated.
