Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support is great.""The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot.""In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management Pros →

"The biggest benefit is from a security operations perspective, where we are able to drive our security posture upwards by remediating any discovered vulnerabilities.""The most valuable features are vulnerability scanning, policy compliance scanning, and tablet for web application scanning.""This is one of the best products I have worked with so far. I like the power of Qualys, and it's a better solution because you can scan a compact file, a BIT file, or batch files. The product already knows what's happening inside, and you don't need to expand the package. Tenable will do the same thing, but you need to have a package issuance claim. With Qualys, we can immediately understand the file, even a compact file. If there's some kind of discovery or incident, you will know what happened in the environment.""Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud.""It's stable and quite reliable.""The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need.""It is quite easy to implement.""I am impressed with the VMDR feature."

Cons
"The asset management tool is costly.""The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit.""The engineering area needs improvement."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management Cons →

"They have integrated with other third parties, but it is still not viable.""The customer support is very bad.""What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem.""I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment.""Could use additional security for the app.""I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud.""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.""Reports were lacking somewhat on the customization side."
