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.

Revathi VeeraRaghavan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"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."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."

"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune pros
"For a few applications, you do not need to go and download the patches from the network or somewhere else. They have the patches or the latest updates in the directory. You can just select a patch and deploy it to a server. You can create a patch job and select the patch. Everything is within the interface. You do not need to go out of it."
"Qualys allows us to automate and fix patches through the tool, achieving a compliance rate of over 95%."
"Qualys Patch Management is an effective tool for vulnerability remediation."
"Qualys Patch Management has reduced our organization's risk by almost 90 percent."

More Qualys Patch Management pros
 

Cons

"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"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."
More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune cons
"Qualys could improve its capacity to fix vulnerabilities on VMware and other virtualized environments. The reporting could also be enhanced to make it more user-friendly. It's difficult for beginners to learn."
"This authentication requirement blocks some patches from being pushed through Qualys, leaving them in a locked state."
"It would be better if Qualys Patch Management identifies whether the process has failed at the first instance and provides a retry button or retry mechanism, allowing retries for failed patches. This feature would reduce my manual workload."
"There are certain integration parts that could be improved. Sometimes, legacy operating systems are not supported by Qualys Patch Management, which is an issue."
"They need to improve the user-friendliness of identifying how many devices are affected by a particular patch."
"Its implementation is too recent to make any judgments about areas needing improvement. In terms of pricing, of course, it is not free. Cheaper is always better."
"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."
"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."
More Qualys Patch Management cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"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."
"Qualys Patch Management's pricing is competitive."
"Compared to other tools, the price of Qualys Patch Management is reasonable."
"Pricing for Qualys Patch Management is moderate."
"From what I have heard, Qualys Patch Management is pricey, which is a main barrier to entry. Another aspect that I do not like about Qualys is that they do not add new patch management functionalities to the existing package. It is a separate SKU, so you have to pay more money."
"The pricing is reasonable and less expensive than the previous tool."
"Qualys Patch Management offers a moderate price point, neither cheap nor expensive, considering its comprehensive functionality."
"It is affordable, but they should provide features as per the rate they are charging. We have a big infrastructure with about 80,000 licenses. We expect better support from the Qualys team. So, it is affordable, but more features should be there, and the support should be better."
"Qualys Patch Management comes as part of a bundled package with several modules, making it a cost-effective deal for us."
