Patch My PC Patch Management vs. Qualys TruRisk Platform

I highly recommend Patch My PC to businesses of all types and sizes. The tool is highly customizable and can meet the needs of any organization. It is easy to implement with Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Intune and can be set up within a matter of minutes.

It is well suited for environments that are looking for a solution that is top notch for vulnerability scanning, and is the most accurate at doing so. It would also fit environments that have a lot of endpoints to scan or like to have scanning done on an automatic basis. It is less appropriate in environments that want to use a platform right away, without getting training in how to use it, or reading documentation on the product.

• Great customer support
• Automation of application creation and updates
• Easy to integrate and manage

• Attestation is so easy with Qualys. I find this one feature makes the investment worth the cost
• Ease of use. Within an hour of first installing, a person can be running compliance tests without a hitch.
• Great training materials and support. I have never had to take more than twenty minutes to solve a problem either through support or the forums.

Incentivized

• SAS solution
• Be able to select a specific application version for deployment

• Notices some findings which were not clear why they appear(suspected false positive).
• Working with Qualys support(for example due to the previous point) wasn't the best experience. the response was very slow.
• Qualys limit the daily API requests. In case you need more, it will cost.

I consider Patch My PC a necessary tool for any environment I manage. I cannot imagine managing an environment without it, as the time and effort it saves is invaluable.

Again, the usability of Qualys has been a pinpoint for this entire review. It was easily the worst thing about the product and because of this, I would not recommend Qualys to anybody in my field. This should be something that Qualys strives to improve if they wish to stay in business.

They had a support page within the WAS to report any concerns or seek help. But the UI of that is not smooth. Regardless support staff were pretty responsive and helpful. They scheduled calls to understand and address our problems. Email support is good as well.

The implementation is super easy, specially if you're just Integrating it with Intune.

Patch My PC is a tool developed and maintained by experienced systems administrators, who have a deep understanding of the workings of Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Intune. They know what it takes to successfully deploy applications to end-users, making the tool an ideal choice for managing software updates and deployments.

We find that Nessus is a great product, on par if not slightly better compared to Qualys in terms of their pricing model. However, Qualys Cloud Platform has better quality reporting, and offers great tips and suggestions on quickly closing a gap and eliminating the risk. In our organization, both products are great and meet our expectations, but due to pricing, we favor Nessus slightly more.

• Saves countless hours on manually packaging applications
• Saves countless hours on investigating what applications in your environment needs updated
• saves you 1-3 headcounts in your department

• The most important thing that happens with this program is to automate one hundred percent the security of my system since this program is in charge of supervising each of the applications and websites in detail.
• One of the purposes for which we trust Qualys Cloud Platform is to keep our system clean and secure; the ability of this software to manage our vulnerability makes us more cautious about working with it.
