We performed a comparison between Qualys VMDR and ServiceNow Discovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"Qualys VM's best feature is vulnerability management."
"I like ServiceNow Discovery's overall structure and the way data comes in without creating a different dashboard or interface."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It's pretty robust, and it's agentless for the most part. So, you don't need to deploy agents, which makes it a lot easier to stand up."
"It does a good job of collecting the data that's necessary for data centers, and IT's operations."
"The most valuable asset is relationship building because the solution discovers and builds auto relationships in a way that makes cleanup very easy."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of the product is straightforward."
"The product provides great scalability features."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"We are moving away from Qualys to Defender ATP because I find that Defender ATP is much better at prioritizing the vulnerabilities that I should be looking at."
"The solution is too high priced."
"The product should improve its customer interface, web interface, and front end. I would like to see the integration of keyboard chat with the solution."
"The solution needs to improve the cost of the solution. There are a few different solutions and they do act the same and have the same types of capabilities, however, the cost is quite high."
"On the Software Asset Management part of it, I expect additional reconciliation and Discovery features there."
"The service mapping component is less developed than it is in other solutions, and is in need of improvement."
"The solution should improve the classes of discovery assets to disregard more junk data."
"The manual pattern-matching process is not only time-consuming but also presents challenges during system upgrades, demanding revisits to ensure compatibility."
"Whenever you try to discover something with the solution, you get errors that are not descriptive enough."
