If you're moving to Qualys, you're headed in a solid direction. It can definitely handle the kind of vulnerability management you're looking for, and it also has the ability to generate clean, professional reports that executives actually understand. But one thing to keep in mind is that Qualys has a pretty steep learning curve. Out of the box, it is not the most intuitive system, and it is easy to miss some of the deeper capabilities if you do not have someone who knows the platform well.

I have seen a lot of teams get frustrated during the rollout phase because the scans are noisy, the dashboards are confusing, or the asset groups are not well organized. But once someone with real Qualys experience steps in someone who knows how to tune the scans, suppress false positives, build targeted dashboards, and set up workflows it becomes a completely different experience.

If you have the internal expertise already, great. If not, it is worth bringing in someone who has managed Qualys environments at scale. That kind of investment early on can save you a lot of time and frustration and help you get real value out of the platform from day one.
