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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively
Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys Patch Management combined with Qualys VMDR integrates solutions into one system, offering a single source of truth for assets and vulnerabilities needing assessment and remediation."
"From my perspective, not only Qualys Patch Management but the overall Qualys package comes with Qualys VMDR, Cloud Agent, Qualys Patch Management, and EASM (External Attack Surface Management), and all those features are excellent in the current market, providing the best solution when it comes to vulnerability management, vulnerability prioritization, and a risk-based approach to enhance security."
"Qualys Patch Management excels with its automated patch scheduling and retrieval."
"I've saved hundreds of hours of manual work for the IT operation teams by automating the deployment of critical patches, and I've reduced our real business exposure to ransomware and exploits."
"The customer support team is quite responsive and always ready to assist."
"Qualys Patch Management has reduced our organization's risk by almost 90 percent."
"Since we onboarded into Qualys Patch Management's ZSM portal with automation, everyone can go and schedule work and trigger it and forget it, and since then it has been very helpful for us to get remediation done in time."
"Qualys Patch Management has helped us reduce our organization's risk profile significantly, lowering our true risk value from five hundred and fifteen to two hundred and thirty and enabling us to remediate vulnerabilities in a timely manner."
"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
 

Cons

"Initially, I was confused about where to find and how to use the available features. It was challenging to identify the options we could employ and why we were using them."
"The patch status and patch completion information should be improved. If a patch fails due to some reason, such as a Windows error, the error code that gets published should be more detailed."
"The availability of Qualys Patch Management needs to be improved."
"Downloading extensive vulnerability reports, especially those with millions of entries, is time-consuming. To improve efficiency, Qualys should implement faster download speeds and offer reports in Excel format in addition to the current CSV option."
"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."
"We dislike having to pay extra. We don't mind paying for additional modules like Certificate View."
"Qualys could improve its randomized download feature and provide more detailed information about patch failures, including the reason for failure."
"There are certain integration parts that could be improved. Sometimes, legacy operating systems are not supported by Qualys Patch Management, which is an issue."
"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other tools, the price of Qualys Patch Management is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable and less expensive than the previous tool."
"Qualys Patch Management's pricing could be more competitive, as it presents a significant obstacle for many companies who find it unaffordable."
"Qualys Patch Management offers a moderate price point, neither cheap nor expensive, considering its comprehensive functionality."
"While the cost of Qualys Patch Management is slightly high compared to alternative tools, it is not excessively expensive."
"The licensing cost is more than 2,000 for the whole Americas region"
"Qualys Patch Management comes as part of a bundled package with several modules, making it a cost-effective deal for us."
"Qualys is fairly priced."
"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
