What 27 Arbolus experts think of Qualys VMDR

NPS is highly positive with most scores between 8–10 and rare outliers. Renewal intent is strong among high spenders and mature implementations, with influencers in strategic roles driving broad adoption. Stickiness is evidenced by over 85% of users having more than one year of use, indicating deep process and compliance integration. Key feedback highlights robust operational and audit value, but notes the need for interface improvements and stronger cloud-native capability. Qualys is particularly valued in hybrid and regulated environments, while Microsoft bundling is a recurring switching risk.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
