Allows us to set maintenance windows and deliver patches

We can set a maintenance window and push the patch. I prefer writing scripts, doing software deployment, pushing it, and distributing applications in servers for the corner of the whole location. We download patches from Ivanti, and it collaborates with more than 700 products. For third-party applications, we download the patches, set a role in our environment, and push it using the maintenance window time and activation date. For software deployment, we receive the service request to install and prepare scripts and then push it in many locations according and relevant to the service request for each location. The group or collection devices are affected by the policy.

Enables automation and quick access to necessary information

One of the significant challenges Qualys is discovery, which I know Microsoft excels at. I can't recall how well Qualys performs this function; it seems I might be missing some details. However, if there's one key aspect to focus on, it's discovery—the ability to identify assets that you are not aware of, even when you can see they are present. Understanding what those assets are is crucial. With Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management, it was very difficult to extract detections from the system. The features within Qualys are limited to what they have developed. Sometimes a complete overview is needed to push to a Power BI dashboard, Splunk, ServiceNow, or other platforms. The export process is incredibly challenging. We needed a developer to write a hundred-line Python script that would loop over certain assets due to export limitations. Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management could improve its integration capabilities. While it generates substantial data, correlating it with other data sources can be challenging. The export process is difficult, and pre-built integrations with other tools could be enhanced for better process implementation.

Cons

"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."

"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."

"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."

"I would like to have better support for the application."

"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."

"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."

"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."

More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune cons

"With Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management, it was very difficult to extract detections from the system."

"Currently, in the EASM module, the scan frequency is limited to once daily, but allowing end users control over scan scheduling would be advantageous."

"The scanning function could be improved."

"Further research and development are needed to enhance integration with other cloud agents and products, particularly improving communication with external products and vendors."

"They should address the false positives generated in EASM. It is fetching assets that have Infosys as the keyword. They should fix that."

"We encountered some false positives, which required coordination with the IT team for verification."

"The deployment is somewhat complicated and could be made more user-friendly for most users. It is currently not user-friendly for all users. It is good but can be improved. It is a new product, and they are working on it."

"Some areas that would be helpful are more comprehensive tagging and the ability to set up better dynamic rules."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

"The solution is affordable."

"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."

"The pricing is reasonable relative to the features provided, as it collects all module data and operates as a main, centralized inventory, making it a cost-effective solution."

"Qualys offers excellent value for money."

"Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management can be expensive, especially if we already have VMDR."

"Though the solution is considered expensive, if bundled with other services such as VMDR or cloud agents, its value would significantly increase. It is currently a bit costly, but with bundling, it could become attractive to more customers."

"The Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management pricing is well-aligned with our usage."

"Qualys is competitively priced for its features. Its pricing is suitable for large organizations with more than 4,000 assets, but for smaller organizations with few assets, such as banks, the costs might be high. They should come up with packages that are suitable for small organizations."

"The pricing is fair. I would love to see the price come down a little bit, but we do get a lot of value out of it. We are squeezing every ounce of value we can out of the tool."

"It is cost-effective because, in a single tool, we are getting everything. All the solutions come in a single license or price."
