Qualys Patch Management offers a valuable feature that allows for deferred reboots, giving users control while still ensuring eventual patching.
Qualys Patch Management excels in automation, enhancing patch rates and compliance. It integrates with Qualys Gateway Scanner to reduce bandwidth consumption. The solution aids in significant risk reduction through robust vulnerability management and exceptional support, boosting client satisfaction. However, challenges include limited patch support for virtual environments, agent issues, high pricing, and lack of third-party repository integration. Comprehensive reporting aids in prioritizing remediation, although manual verification remains necessary due to incomplete status reporting.
