We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in UEM (Unified Endpoint Management)."I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys Container Security is the detailed information in the reports and the remediation. This is done to make sure there are no vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Qualys VM has allowed us to know the vulnerabilities we need to prioritize based on the threat levels and the possible impact if there's an intrusion."
"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."
"The initial setup was good. We didn't have any problems with it."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"It is more expensive vs. other products on the market."
"The customer support is very bad."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve the adding assets and report generation features. I would like to see the policy scan of offline appliances in the product's future releases."
