Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support
In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

Security Consultant at Deloitte
Automated patching has transformed risk-based remediation and now optimizes security workflows
I can highlight two areas for improvement. The first is better reporting flexibility and dashboard customization. Qualys VMDR has a great dashboard that I can customize, but Qualys Patch Management does not have a specific dashboard associated only with patch management and patch compliance. The customization could be improved significantly. The second area is third-party application coverage. Qualys Patch Management works very effectively when patching servers, internal servers, Windows, iOS, or Linux servers. However, when doing application security with third-party applications that require patches, it sometimes fails to complete the patch. The deployment issue with third-party applications needs enhancement, as even with integration, Qualys Patch Management is not able to deploy patches for some third-party applications. These are the two main points I can highlight for improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"Its features are very complete."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"This is an extremely robust product, very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate, and most of our customers just set it and forget it while it does all of the automatic patching month after month."
"Qualys Patch Management has saved significant resources."
"Qualys Patch Management gives me a single source of truth for assets and vulnerabilities that need to be assessed, prioritized, and remediated."
"Qualys Patch Management has significantly reduced our organizational risks."
"We've been able to reduce organizational risk by 50%."
"We can update the registry with special features such as Registry Update. We can also run scripts via the Patch Management module. These features are very helpful in our operations."
"The customer support team is quite responsive and always ready to assist."
"Our patch rate was 85 percent before implementing Qualys Patch Management, and now it is 98 percent."
"Qualys Patch Management is integrated with the vulnerability management solution itself, making it more useful and automated."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."
"The biggest problem that I have with technical support is that it is not regional and we are dealing with time differences."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"The patch status and patch completion information should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of adding more patches. Not all patches are available for deployment on Qualys Patch Management, so collaborating with various vendors to provide new patches would be beneficial."
"For those patches that I have to download for Patch Management, I would prefer if I could upload them to a repository instead of having to download them every time."
"One of the challenges that we have faced with the Patch Management tool is that you cannot patch all the things. There are some limitations, whereas, in SCCM, we can create a package and just deploy that through it. Anything is deployable through SCCM, whereas Patch Management is very selective."
"I struggled to see patch availability for some applications in the Qualys console, requiring me to use third-party repositories. If repositories could be integrated within the Qualys module, it would simplify the patching process for me."
"However, it would be good to have more widgets and AI-generated reports. I have not seen anything related to AI with Qualys."
"Qualys Patch Management has room for improvement regarding certain blockages and error reporting; if a patch fails, it often lacks accurate detail on why the failure occurred, necessitating manual investigation to troubleshoot errors."
"In our environment, the application sometimes crashes, requiring improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is affordable."
"Pricing for Qualys Patch Management is moderate."
"Qualys Patch Management is a cost-effective solution for managing our 43,000-plus assets."
"The pricing is reasonable and less expensive than the previous tool."
"The licensing cost is more than 2,000 for the whole Americas region"
"Its price is competitive in the market. Compared to other solutions like Rapid7, Qualys offers a favorable price point and robust features."
"Qualys Patch Management's pricing is competitive."
"Compared to other tools, the price of Qualys Patch Management is reasonable."
"I'm unaware of Qualys' exact price, but it's more expensive than Nessus. With technological products, you need to pay to get the best."
