Qualys Patch Management offers a valuable feature that allows for deferred reboots, giving users control while still ensuring eventual patching.
Qualys Patch Management offers automated patch scheduling and retrieval, improving compliance rates over 95%. Effective bandwidth consumption and integration with vulnerability feeds enhance risk mitigation. However, it faces authorization issues and challenges in virtualized environments, affecting vulnerability report accuracy. Collaboration with vendors for new patches and faster zero-day response are needed. Despite excellent customer service, high costs limit accessibility compared to competitors, especially with issues in detecting non-exploitable vulnerabilities.
