Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Device42, Qualys and others in Configuration Management Databases."It can discover almost everything and creates relationship among discovered CIs, along with creating topology modeling."
"Precision, trustworthiness, reconciliation, and user-friendly presentation are the key features I value most."
"It scales easily with future expansion."
"The auto-discovery feature is great."
"It can discover various pieces from hardware, software, custom applications, and tie them together to create a map using ASM."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the discovery."
"The product is easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"I find Qualys VM very robust, and it's very useful for vulnerability management and patch management. The value that it brings to my environment is economies of scale. There is no limitation on adding any endpoints. You go by the rule, and it's added once another endpoint is added to our environment. It's automatically installed, and it's less work from our end. It frees up my license automatically if I don't need an endpoint or if my machine is decommissioned. I like the dashboard displays because I don't see any duplication. The most important part is vulnerability management and prioritization. Unlike Symantec, it shows the kind of vulnerability I would want to patch first. It provides a holistic view of the kind of vulnerabilities and the ones I should remediate first. I don't have to do a scan; it just brings up those critical kinds of vulnerabilities like zero-day vulnerabilities and tells me to prioritize them. You have to prioritize these vulnerabilities first and go on with the rest. The dashboard shows me the ones that have been fixed, so I don't have to complete an aging report. The user experience and the graphical interface are good. As it's user-friendly and understandable on an executive level, it brings real value. We also use this solution because it's robust and flexibile."
"Provides great functionality."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need."
"The implementation could be simplified."
"The page loading is very slow."
"When we work in an environment, the production environment continuously changes and at that time we should have knowledge about the new server (node). However, the auto-discovery part should automatically discover the new CI (node/servers) in an environment and inform the IT person."
"Improve the GUI and documentation."
"Making it simpler to set up and understand would be a big improvement."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
"Improve the user interface."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
