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."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"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 VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"Qualys has a continuous endpoint monitoring feature for agent-based scanning. Once you deploy the solution, it monitors everything that is happening every 30 minutes. Then, if there are any vulnerabilities, they are reported."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"Tech support is helpful."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"Qualys VM is very stable."
 

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."
"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."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"If AI features were integrated, it could enhance the capabilities significantly."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"One area for improvement is the simplification of the process to ignore certain vulnerabilities on specific devices."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"There needs to be better documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"It is a high cost product. Compared to the other solutions, it is around 15 to 20% higher in cost."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"There is a license for the use of this solution. We pay annually instead of monthly to receive a better discount on the price."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"Qualys VM is better suited for medium to large companies because the price can be too much for smaller customers."
