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.

Continuous risk-based monitoring has strengthened incident response and vulnerability prioritization
I haven't explored Qualys VMDR's vulnerability lifecycle automation yet. One of my analysts mentioned that queries lack grouping operators in Qualys VMDR. From my experience, I would appreciate improvements in the query options in Qualys VMDR, specifically in the query-building process where I would need more features and operators. Additionally, we have been facing issues with Qualys on the cloud level. We cannot download the configuration profile from the cloud agent, and it is showing a pending action for download. During 2025, we noticed outages of Qualys a couple of times. I want to mention that there is an issue with receiving timely RCA deliveries. While this is not necessarily about the tool, it relates to support. The support has not been very responsive, and we are receiving RCAs a little delayed whenever we raise support cases or communicate with the TAMs. Additionally, the UI has a slight latency, which I and my team have experienced. They have also reported this latency issue when navigating through different pages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"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."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"Before we were taking eight hours, now we're taking around 30 minutes to respond to any incident, security and such."
"Once you are set up properly and have proper acceptance from support teams, device owners and senior management you can start to scan your environment much more often which increases your organizations ability to detect vulnerabilities more often reducing your overall vulnerability footprint and corresponding business risk."
"The prioritization mechanism is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"Almost all of the features are great."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"Qualys help identifies the weakness in our critical infrastructure and provides guidelines how to address them."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"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 area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting can be improved more. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys."
"From the application security perspective, Qualys has a way to go."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"It's very expensive, especially if you want to use multiple modules of Qualys."
"The solution is reasonably priced for the value it provides."
"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."
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"The solution is costly."
