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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively
Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For a few applications, you do not need to go and download the patches from the network or somewhere else. They have the patches or the latest updates in the directory. You can just select a patch and deploy it to a server. You can create a patch job and select the patch. Everything is within the interface. You do not need to go out of it."
"Qualys Patch Management offers valuable features like scheduling and on-demand patching, allowing us to conveniently push patches to our servers at designated times."
"Qualys Patch Management excels with its automated patch scheduling and retrieval."
"The integration of Qualys Gateway Scanner is my favorite feature. The patches our downloaded to QGS in our environment and deployed, saving bandwidth. The patch logging and policies have been helpful. The dashboard shows you when the patch has been applied to your assets."
"Having a solution Qualys Patch Management that can take care of a very large chunk of it, I think it is definitely worth the price."
"The organization's risk score has significantly improved since integrating with Qualys Patch Management."
"Qualys Patch Management has helped us reduce our organization's risk profile significantly, lowering our true risk value from five hundred and fifteen to two hundred and thirty and enabling us to remediate vulnerabilities in a timely manner."
"Qualys Patch Management is beneficial for addressing critical vulnerability alerts quickly, providing significant improvements in mitigating risk within our organization."
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
 

Cons

"Some patches require OEM consent or must be released by OEM. For example, if an outdated version of a tool like Falcon is detected, Qualys flags it as a vulnerability, but cannot automate the patch update."
"The interface could benefit from improved user experience and quality of life improvements."
"I deploy patches to endpoints and servers every month. However, despite a job showing as successful, I need to examine the job in detail."
"Qualys could improve its capacity to fix vulnerabilities on VMware and other virtualized environments. The reporting could also be enhanced to make it more user-friendly. It's difficult for beginners to learn."
"It works with Windows and Linux, but Mac patch support is not yet available."
"While I've recently seen many problems with stability and reliability in Qualys, it was initially stable; however, current issues include modules being offline for extended periods."
"The pricing of the solution is slightly high compared to other tools in our field."
"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."
"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."

"The pricing is reasonable and less expensive than the previous tool."
"Its price is competitive in the market. Compared to other solutions like Rapid7, Qualys offers a favorable price point and robust features."

"The pricing is fair and within our budget."
"Qualys Patch Management's pricing is competitive."
"Qualys is fairly priced."
