Cons
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement.""One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system.""However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent.""Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy. It would also help if we could have a 360-degree view. It would be better if they changed it to a SaaS type of offering, which is becoming the standard.""The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement.""There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors.""If a user isn't using an out-of-the-box configuration, it can get a bit complex.""There are issues from a product functionality perspective."

More BMC Remedy Cons →

"The tool needs to improve the adding assets and report generation features. I would like to see the policy scan of offline appliances in the product's future releases.""Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems.""The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions.""I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment.""This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs.""It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution.""It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution.""Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
