Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Provides great functionality."
"The prioritization feature is great. I think it has all of the advanced features that we need."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"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 most recent is VMDR, which provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect, patch, and remediate specific vulnerabilities."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"The reporting is fine."
"The solution is scalable."
"We have a support team here in India that has been helpful. We have not reached out to the global support for Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance."
"The platform offers efficient stability."
"We utilize the package management feature the most. We also use it for getting the inventory. Companies like us don't have an inventory or asset management system per se. A lot of companies, for instance, use SCCM as their asset management tool. We are using Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance for asset management, which is a good feature. The feature that I really like is to be able to upgrade to the Windows management systems or Windows version. It is very seamless, and I have found it fairly good."
"We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management."
"Feature-wise, I think it's more to do with the usability. It's pretty simple and it's got a very low learning curve, so that helps a lot. Feature-wise, things work pretty well as it's provided a lot of information available on the guides and the manuals, and things work as per the description."
"Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved."
"It's too early for me to say if there is any room for improvement since we're in the first couple of months of using this solution."
"Qualys could be improved in its overall performance compared to other vulnerability management or scanning tools."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"Sometimes, it feels like the inventory it takes is not 100% accurate. I would say it is correct 90% of the time. We have had some issues. So, we have to rely on some factors of inconsistency in the data."
"The initial setup was burdensome."
"The first thing I don't like about KACE is that it needs to have a proper service desk. The categories and the command section do not reflect the users and the permanent users porting commands on updating. There is an issue and delay in loading the commands. We also want a proper structure for infrastructure management. Also, the AI chatbot and user template options are missing."
"The remote desktop tool they are using needs improvement. They have integrated some third-party tools for remote desktop connections but that is a bit complicated. That can be further simplified."
"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution."
"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems."
