Top Reasons Why Rapid7 Customers Switch to Qualys:

Uncover asset blind spots that Rapid7 can’t see.

Without an EASM solution, Rapid7 is blind to up to 36% of your internet-facing assets. Qualys offers industry-leading discovery including EASM and attribution scoring, passive sensing for IoT/OT devices, and third-party connectors—so you can ensure 100% coverage in your VM program.

Detect the critical CVEs Rapid7 misses.

Qualys leverages over 150,000 detection signatures to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Improve CVE coverage by 17% over Rapid7 and detect the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities you’re currently missing. Reduce zero-day and critical vulnerability detection times by 24% over competing solutions.

Ditch the third-party patching solution.

Rapid7 creates a “project” for some other patching tool that you’re paying for. Stop creating more work with spreadsheets, tasks, and notifications. Start patching natively with Qualys, including automated deployment of low-business impact, high risk reduction patches.

Count on risk scores that actually matter.

Rapid7 touts their ability to score more vulnerabilities as critical, but is that really the brag they think it is? Qualys TruRisk accounts for asset criticality, active exploitation, multiplying risk factors, and adds 25+ sources of threat intel to pinpoint truly critical risk and narrow your focus.
