Provides detection logic that tells us which customer will record an update and is less expensive than other solutions
I haven't had experience with customer service and support, however, we did have an advisory case with one of their technical support staff. We were publishing and getting the full metadata for the patch. We were getting the full updates for the patch release. There was confusion as to why we were seeing that in the SCCM, instead of in the full metadata patch. The support person was able to help us in understanding what we were doing wrong, highlighting it could be a certificate issue. We generated a new certificate, and after they were applied, the issue was fixed. Overall, I would rate their customer service and support a five out of five.

Automated patching has transformed risk-based remediation and now optimizes security workflows
I can highlight two areas for improvement. The first is better reporting flexibility and dashboard customization. Qualys VMDR has a great dashboard that I can customize, but Qualys Patch Management does not have a specific dashboard associated only with patch management and patch compliance. The customization could be improved significantly. The second area is third-party application coverage. Qualys Patch Management works very effectively when patching servers, internal servers, Windows, iOS, or Linux servers. However, when doing application security with third-party applications that require patches, it sometimes fails to complete the patch. The deployment issue with third-party applications needs enhancement, as even with integration, Qualys Patch Management is not able to deploy patches for some third-party applications. These are the two main points I can highlight for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Patch for SCCM is the detection logic."
"We can update the registry with special features such as Registry Update. We can also run scripts via the Patch Management module. These features are very helpful in our operations."
"Patch management provides more clarity from the dashboard and console, which is very helpful for our team to prioritize and take prior action."
"The features I find most valuable in Qualys Patch Management include the ability to manage registry changes and run scripts both pre and post-patching. We have been able to apply workarounds for zero-day vulnerabilities efficiently."
"Qualys Patch Management offers excellent features, most notably the Qualys Gateway Service, which caches patches and distributes them to agents, minimizing bandwidth consumption."
"Since implementing Qualys Patch Management, we have seen measurable improvements in remediation speed, reducing our patch turnaround time significantly from four weeks with a compliance of about 60% to about 24 to 48 hours for critical vulnerabilities with an average vulnerability count per device down to around 10."
"Approximately monthly we are closing around one lakh vulnerabilities now, compared to only 20,000 to 30,000 previously, showcasing almost 70% productivity improvement and time consumption reduction of around 90%."
"The most valuable feature in Patch Management is the Qualys query language for set-it-and-forget-it patching for our preapproved patches, and our preapproved schedules, That is extremely helpful compared to the old days of patching."
"Qualys Patch Management has reduced our organizational risk by 99.9 percent."
 

Cons

"We have some problems with patches not installing successfully."
"In future releases, I would like to see improvements with the feature upgrade for the SCCM, which Microsoft has already integrated. Currently, Ivanti does not give us information about the enablement package."
"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."
"In my opinion, there are areas within Qualys Patch Management that have room for improvement, such as cloud instance functionality."
"Qualys Patch Management's pricing could be more competitive, as it presents a significant obstacle for many companies who find it unaffordable."
"I struggled to see patch availability for some applications in the Qualys console, requiring me to use third-party repositories. If repositories could be integrated within the Qualys module, it would simplify the patching process for me."
"The interface could benefit from improved user experience and quality of life improvements."
"Unified QQL needs improvement because while they have QQL in Qualys Patch Management, it doesn't pull in the same tokens as VMDR or CCM, so I can't search by similar things."
"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."
"Since we do not have that solution criteria, we end up calling multiple teams and asking them what version needs to be deployed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We do not have a license with Ivanti, instead we buy just the plugins for the consoles, making it a much less expensive option versus other solutions."
"The licensing cost is more than 2,000 for the whole Americas region"
"Qualys Patch Management is expensive."
"The pricing is fair and within our budget."
"Qualys Patch Management comes as part of a bundled package with several modules, making it a cost-effective deal for us."
"While the cost of Qualys Patch Management is slightly high compared to alternative tools, it is not excessively expensive."
"Compared to other tools, the price of Qualys Patch Management is reasonable."
"Qualys Patch Management's pricing is competitive."
"Pricing for Qualys Patch Management is moderate."
