Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Device42, Qualys and others in Configuration Management Databases."The most valuable features of BMC Atrium CMDB are its ease to build new classes. For example, let's say there are types of CIs or efforts that do not exist in BMC Atrium CMDB. You can create your own and their relationship to existing classes."
"The main feature is the relational model database, where you define relationships between CIs. Being able to establish CI relationships and building a service model is a key aspect of CMDB."
"Over the years, we have progressed to have close to a real-time up-to-date view into the assets in our environment."
"This solution has improved our tracking."
"Atrium Integrator allows me to manage my data, with regular updates, etc. and integrate with multiple systems."
"This solution makes it easy for us to access data, and seamlessly integrates with all ITSM as well as the monitoring parts."
"It allows me to easily manage my data: Cleanse, load, and report on it."
"The rules functionality makes it easier to classify data for different groups."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"Performs automated, regular scans in the network."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"The reporting is fine."
"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."
"Tech support is helpful."
"Recently, improvements have been more focused on the interface side."
"I am just waiting for the new release with the new enhanced UI."
"Looking for a more streamlined interface; one that matches the other parts of the BMC Remedy product line."
"There could be a provision in the back end to ensure unique collections and avoid duplicate services."
"We would like the service modelling functionality of this solution to be improved."
"BMC Atrium CMDB could improve if they had a cloud version and made the interface better."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
