Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.
Ankesh Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time responses and reporting streamline vulnerability management
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent. It allows us to see real-time graphs and reports for every asset, server, and more, which is very user-friendly. Our clients have given good feedback, and they are satisfied with the tool. We use it daily to fix vulnerabilities by connecting with infrastructure to remediate. The feedback from the client side is very good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have."
"Qualys VMDR is easy to understand and provides detailed reports."
"Qualys VMDR provides us with a quick response to threat findings through regular scheduled scanning, which improves our security operations."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"Overall, the solution is highly rated because of its simplicity and efficiency."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
 

Cons

"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"They can tweak their UI since the new version seems a bit jumbled up, and the old UI was more user-friendly."
"There were some issues later with Qualys VMDR regarding security, specifically with numerous false positive reports."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"From the application security perspective, Qualys has a way to go."
"If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"It is different for every company, but for us, it's every three years."
"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
