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.

Information Security - Manager at Infosys

Provides a centralized platform for managing assets and vulnerabilities, enabling assessment, prioritization, and remediation

Qualys Patch Management system requires several improvements. Firstly, the inability to download asset patches and the lack of third-party application integration limit patch accessibility. Additionally, rollback options are unreliable, and pre-deployment patch testing is crucial. Reporting needs enhancement, particularly with group-based compliance percentages and clearer, VMDR-like reporting in the Patch Management module. Furthermore, detection speed should be improved, as patches are released 24 hours after QIDs are published. The user interface could be more functional, with dashboards for patch compliance visualization and simplified error code language. Finally, the Mac patch catalogue needs expansion, and automated workflows, policy enforcement, and testing procedures should be streamlined for seamless, user-independent operation.

Cons

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"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

"The pricing of the solution is slightly high compared to other tools in our field."

"A patch contract is a bundle of patches that we are going to roll out. I would like to reference those patches from separate jobs. They explained at a conference that it cannot be done, but that is my main complaint. I wish that the whole schema was a little bit clearer because there is a little bit of cloudiness around it."

"There is room for improvement in terms of adding more patches."

"The GUI has areas that need improvement, particularly in the accuracy of results when adding dashboards and running queries."

"Reporting needs enhancement, particularly with group-based compliance percentages and clearer, VMDR-like reporting in the Patch Management module."

"The pricing of the solution is slightly high compared to other tools in our field."

"One of the challenges that we have faced with the Patch Management tool is that you cannot patch all the things. There are some limitations, whereas, in SCCM, we can create a package and just deploy that through it. Anything is deployable through SCCM, whereas Patch Management is very selective."

"A common area for improvement in Patch Management, both within our environment and others I've encountered, is the lack of built-in driver updates."
