Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support
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. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is definitely good for a big company; it really helps you keep an eye on your whole environment rather than little pieces here and there throughout your tech stack."
"The most valuable aspect we receive from Qualys is the remediation."
"The end-of-life and end-of-service software and hardware are some of my favorite features."
"I would rate Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management ten out of ten."
"Authorized and unauthorized software visibility is the best feature for me."
"We have had zero attacks since we enabled all the features in Qualys CSAM."
"With Qualys CSAM, we can see which assets have critical application vulnerabilities. This feature helps us prioritize and address these vulnerabilities more efficiently."
"Overall, I would give Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management a nine out of ten."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"The deployment is somewhat complicated and could be made more user-friendly for most users."
"One downside of Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is that I would prefer to see a more interactive dashboard."
"They should address the false positives generated in EASM. It is fetching assets that have Infosys as the keyword. They should fix that."
"There can be further simplification to reduce the overall noise and provide ESAM-related data."
"The Qualys CAPS service requires further exploration and improvement, particularly in its handling of protocols and reactivity with MAC and IP addresses for CAP agents."
"Some areas that would be helpful are more comprehensive tagging and the ability to set up better dynamic rules."
"Further research and development are needed to enhance integration with other cloud agents and products, particularly improving communication with external products and vendors."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is affordable."
"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."
"Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management can be expensive, especially if we already have VMDR."
"It is cost-effective because, in a single tool, we are getting everything. All the solutions come in a single license or price."
"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."
"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 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."
"Qualys offers excellent value for money."
"The Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management pricing is well-aligned with our usage."
