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.

Well-integrated with our vulnerability scanning utilities and efficient in asset tagging and identification

Our favorite features are the tagging and the ability to quickly find assets in the portal. Additionally, I do like the fact that Qualys CSAM is integrated with the rest of our vulnerability scanning utilities. We use the full suite from Qualys. The fact that it is integrated makes it very easy to understand. It shares tagging information with VMDR. That is very nice. Qualys CSAM has discovered assets not previously covered by our vulnerability management program. Primarily, if we have assets without vulnerabilities, they become less visible, but Qualys CSAM alerts us to them because they have IP addresses and are attached to our network. It could discover everything from printers to servers to endpoints. It could discover UPSs, network devices, and across all operating systems. It discovers our security badge readers and digital signage. We have to feed that the IP address ranges, but beyond that, it finds everything in our internal network. We were able to realize its benefits within the first quarter of installing it. We did have to take some time to learn it and understand how to operationally leverage what it was telling us, but it was very quick. In addition to vulnerabilities, Qualys CSAM helps identify other risk factors to a degree. For instance, we can see if servers or assets have incorrect naming standards. We have our network segmented into development model, test, and production, and we have server naming standards that identify which management they should be in. If a production server has the naming standard of a development model server, we can find that. That is one area we have used it for. We are not fully using TruRisk, but we are using the Qualys detection score that is central to our corporate risk prioritization approach. It has completely replaced our homegrown one.

Cons

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

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

"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."

"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."

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

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

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

"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."

More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune cons

"Currently, whenever the agent is running, it consumes over ten percent of my CPU, indicating that CPU consumption is another area Qualys needs to address."

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

"The main aspect that needs improvement is the user interface, which should be more intuitive."

"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."

"Qualys could improve by enhancing its dynamic tagging and role-based access control features, and by refining its user interface for a more intuitive and efficient user experience."

"It is automatically exporting the vulnerabilities and the assets. However, it would be useful to have the ability to select or to filter which we would like to export."

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

"We have had challenges modifying the agent configuration. Particularly, when we want to change the tenant that the agent is pointing to, we have had difficulties making that reliable and working properly."

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 solution is affordable."

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

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

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

"The cost for Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is high."

"The pricing for Qualys CSAM is nominal."

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

"The pricing for Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management is reasonable, with an annual subscription costing around $1,000 per year or a monthly subscription starting at approximately $72 per month, depending on the specific package and features included."

"The pricing is market-competitive."

"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."

"Qualys offers excellent value for money."
