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.

Information Security - Manager at Infosys

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.

"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."

"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."

More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune pros

"Qualys Patch Management offers a valuable feature that allows for deferred reboots, giving users control while still ensuring eventual patching."

"Policy enforcement requires less time for my team because users cannot avoid applying updates. The user can skip two or three times or for a maximum of eight hours. After that, there is no way to avoid it. It helps us keep the environment safe."

"We have all the information on one page. The dashboard provides comprehensive information on one page, making it easy to apply patches and monitor pending updates."

"The organization's risk score has significantly improved since integrating with Qualys Patch Management."

"The integrations with VMware include configurations to mitigate vulnerabilities. It helps us identify permissions and whatever is applicable for the vulnerability for faster patching."

"Qualys' best feature is its reporting. At first, it may seem a little complicated to a beginning user, but it's helpful once you get used to it. Most of these scans run automatically. We set the scans up for the client to run at daily, weekly, or monthly intervals, depending on how critical the server or other hardware is."

"The most valuable feature of Qualys Patch Management is the support and service provided by Qualys. The feedback that I got from our team is that Qualys' team is very supportive. They are always there to help us and solve queries in real-time. I liked the service aspect."

"Qualys Patch Management excels with its automated patch scheduling and retrieval."

Cons

"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."

"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."

"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."

"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."

"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."

"I would like to have better support for the application."

More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune cons

"I deploy patches to endpoints and servers every month. However, despite a job showing as successful, I need to examine the job in detail."

"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."

"Reporting needs enhancement, particularly with group-based compliance percentages and clearer, VMDR-like reporting in the Patch Management module."

"Qualys Patch Management would benefit from enhanced integration to address its current limitations in patching new features."

"Not all patches are supported, so there are some restrictions. Some remediations require script-level changes which Qualys does not support."

"There is room for improvement in the inclusion of more patches. Not all patches are available on Qualys, so they need to get licenses for other patches as well."

"They need to improve the user-friendliness of identifying how many devices are affected by a particular patch. It is not intuitive, and there should be clearer indicators or buttons to access this information easily."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."

"The solution is affordable."

"Qualys Patch Management's pricing could be more competitive, as it presents a significant obstacle for many companies who find it unaffordable."

"The licensing cost is more than 2,000 for the whole Americas region"

"The pricing is fair and within our budget."

"Qualys Patch Management's pricing is competitive."

"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."

"I'm unaware of Qualys' exact price, but it's more expensive than Nessus. With technological products, you need to pay to get the best."

"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."
