User-friendly interface and can be used as a helpdesk
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has a user-friendly interface."
  • "I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."

What is our primary use case?

We are using ServiceNow as a helpdesk.

What is most valuable?

We are using ServiceNow as a helpdesk. If I have any issues, I just raise a request. It is a very nice tool for communicating with my headquarters team. The solution has a user-friendly interface.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Approximately 10,000 users use the solution at our headquarters. Apart from that, we have 15 subsidiaries with 2,000 more users. In total, around 12,000 users use ServiceNow.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for scalability.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used ManageEngine. ServiceNow is better than ManageEngine in terms of scalability.

What other advice do I have?

The solution is installed on our cloud server. We can access it from anywhere, and it works smoothly. Would recommend ServiceNow to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

Has tagging system and scanners, that doesn't overload
Pros and Cons
  • "I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made."
  • "There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."

What is our primary use case?

In our DLP operations, we use the tool to address stability issues and implement fixes suggested by it. This helps manage risk levels and decide whether to fix issues or implement workarounds.

What is most valuable?

I like that we have many scanners and channels that don't overload. It helps us scan and track easily. Also, the tagging system is good for tagging. We can still use QualysAgent task ID tools even if tags aren't made.

The asset inventory management feature has improved our security posture, which is good. It was introduced recently, and we've just started using it. In terms of management, I believe it's better than what we were using before.

Qualys VMDR is good at handling vulnerability management trends, especially with its policy module. Qualys VMDR offers customizable labels that fit the organization's needs, unlike other tools. This is important for enhancing security and meeting compliance requirements.

What needs improvement?

There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is generally good, but we did face issues during the pandemic due to connectivity problems with Qualys VMDR servers. There were syncing issues, and agents weren't getting updated. However, we later realized it was our issue because our software needed updating. We had to manually update the proxy settings, which Qualys VMDR should have done. We managed to tackle the challenge with the help of another team.

How are customer service and support?

Support should be faster and more customer-friendly. We often have to review a lot of documentation for issues we're already aware of and follow basic steps repeatedly. Additionally, we must wait for Qualys VMDR personnel to move scans into debug mode, which can be time-consuming. Getting notifications or updates on these processes more quickly would be helpful.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up the tool doesn't take long and doesn't require many people.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have an annual contract for Qualys VMDR. I believe it's for either two years or five years.

What other advice do I have?

I haven't personally done any integration, so I can't comment on it. However, I believe some integration was happening between Qualys VMDR and ServiceNow. Our asset management tool was also trying to integrate with Qualys VMDR, but I'm unsure about the details or how it works. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
