We performed a comparison between Lansweeper and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."
"Its functionality is very solid. The best part about it is that, when you have issues in getting information back from nodes, it tells you what the issue is, and you can quickly go to the specific nodes and respond to or repair those. There is an agent option, but to me, as a small business, the preference is to avoid agents where possible because you probably don't have the staff to keep up with them all."
"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is IT asset management. In the realm of cybersecurity, having knowledge of what is on the network is critical. We are able to conduct reports and see the assets we have. Initially, the solution required a machine on the local network to scan everything, but it has evolved to include agents that can report to a device, and more recently, an agent that can send data to the cloud even if the device is outside of the network. This has proven to be especially useful during the pandemic, as it has allowed us to keep track of devices that have been sent home with employees."
"We've found the most value right now in the inventory of the equipment."
"It is very flexible and very powerful. The reporting scripts that are continually posted are a real benefit. It makes it easier for someone who is a consumer, but not necessarily a power user, to quickly create and run reports, get updates, and know what tasks need to be performed."
"Provides good reports from every asset."
"The solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
"A great value is the fact that it supports multiple platforms, and it is agentless. Obviously, it still requires credentials, but being agentless makes it much easier to deploy, especially for a small business. It leaves fewer things to maintain. Especially for a small or medium business, it is a tremendous product."
"What I like about Qualys VM is the dashboard presentation. It's very good."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no vulnerabilities."
"The reporting is fine."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"It's stable and quite reliable."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"I don't have any complaints about it, and I've never really had any issues. It isn't wizard-driven or anything like that, but it doesn't need to be. For someone who is not familiar with system administration, it would be daunting. There would be a lot of info there. They wouldn't necessarily know what to do, but that's not its target audience. For its target audience, in particular, it doesn't need to change. It is really a good tool."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."
"The support experience hasn't been satisfactory. Establishing a direct connection with someone is challenging, as communication is limited to chat or forums through a web link. There's a lack of direct interaction with support personnel, making it difficult to have real-time conversations or seek immediate assistance, which is not ideal."
"The help desk is not exactly its strong suit."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution."
"I would like to have CSPM, a continuous scan-like cloud added to the solution."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
