Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks and others in IT Asset Management."The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"The most valuable feature is the connection of threat intelligence information with identified vulnerabilities, which means you can prioritize vulnerabilities according to actual attacks."
"This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"The reporting is fine."
"All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution."
"We have installed a physical server for failover. We need to configure cluster on everything. But with VMware, we do not need to cluster. We get automatically seven physical nodes failover. If one fails we have no issues."
"It provides us with improved maintenance cycles."
"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 VM should improve its methodology."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"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."
"The reporting needs improvement. It should generate much more stuff like field reports."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"Its automation feature needs improvement. They can include the vRealize Automation feature in this solution."
"Not a ten because the price is high."
"It needs to improve user roles and access rights."
