    Qualys VMDR is best suited for larger companies with a very large IT asset footprint. Qualys VMDR is not suited for businesses that are small and upcoming as the price for the tool is very expensive and could be a budget sink if not used properly. In our organization we use the Qualys VMDR dashboard and reporting in order to collect any vulnerabilities we miss during our routine audits to ensure that our environment is stable and protected for attacks.

    It is an easy-to-use platform with a lot of capabilities. We use it for knowledge databases and it makes my work as Application Owner way easier and faster. It also provides a clear view of the issues running in our organization. We can clearly see where our colleagues are having problems. It also provides a clear view of my support tickets. Also, the reporting tools and the asset management are very nice.

    Pros
    Qualys
    • Seamless reporting across the different widgets (i.e. TruRisk)
    • DEEP-DIVE into an asset's info/vulns
    • Baked-in PCI ASV scans that a Qualys QSA can approve

    • TOPdesk's UI is pretty intuitive. Its often not needed to explain colleagues new functionalities as they are self-explaining.
    • TOPdesk is visually cleaner compared to interfaces of other ITSM tools
    • TOPdesk offers a lot of UI's that are easy to customize, like the home dashboard
    • TOPdesk support is really good. Once we notice we do not get an answer that works for us, the issue is escalated directly to a specialist on demand.

    Cons
    Qualys
    • Qualys VMDR can definitely improve on its reporting of assets as we have caught devices not captured in the Qualys VMDR scans.
    • We would like to see an improvement on the dashboard interface as it is faulty sometimes.
    • Qualys VMDR should focus on more competitive pricing as it is very expensive.

    • assigning rights is too extensive, making it very complex to manage this up to date.
    • Topdesk has gained so many features that it is difficult for a new user to become familiar with it.
    • action sequences remain tricky and certainly not for everyone to understand.

    Next to Veeam (which is a tremendous product for backup/DR) this is the best service/software I have used in the past three decades. Should be called the Swiss Army Knife of security.

    If I could choose a new ticketing/asset/ITSM tool and a company I would definitely go with TOPdesk. I like the fact that the support team is also in Dutch and the pricing at the time we purchased it was very affordable. It had all the features we needed and since then the product has come a long way and has many built in out-of-box features that require much less config and setup time. However still very customizable so can be adapted to any customer/environment.

    In short, we've been able to remove many pain points, automate multiple things, and empowered the end-user by being able to manage more items via the Self Service Portal. We've been able to do more than we were able to do with our previous ITSM platform. The TOPdesk development team added some things recently that will allow us to make some other things more efficient.

    Like I said somewhere else in this review: the helpdesk of TOPdesk is top of the bill! In the Netherlands, that is. I can not plea for the helpdesks in other countries, but I guess the TOPdesk organization will make sure the quality of the helpdesk is the same in every country.

    Although being a SAAS solution, TOPdesk performs pretty fast. One can imagine that any SAAS solution is slow or has hiccups, but we have not experienced such with TOPdesk. Pages load quickly, logging in goes smoothly. We have made reports on premise in the past - that always took some time, as you might expect with such complex tasks. It seems that in the SAAS solution TOPdesk somehow has managed to make it even faster!

    This is iron but I am giving it 5 star and I can give more If I can do because they are best in support. So once you own this product they will assign a dedicated support for you and when you are under the weather with anything just connect them with anything call, ping or ticket they will come like Genie.

    Most if not nearly all questions are answered within the same or a few days. The helpdesk is very knowledgable about their product and are always willing to help. The only downside is that for more difficult questions it can take a while due to the experts being further removed from the helpdesk. But they are always willing to answer questions, even if they are not directly related to a problem with the service.

    We had Topdesk in-house here training staff for almost a month (2-3 hour meetings 3x a week.) It was invaluable and we were able to take that training and share with the rest of our IT staff. Once implemented we were able to fly from there. The challenges we found were in how to get started. Once started the knowledge base offered from Topdesk has been invaluable.

There is no real challenges with finding information on how to use the product and some really helpful knowledge base items that show us how valuable these options are in our own implementation of it.

    Not really - the integrations via connectors is not heavy lifting. Any complexity has to do with a service that requires more steps (i.e. AWS/GCP)

    It was a challenge to port over years of the same thing and we ended up keeping old ideas in Topdesk that we will eventually weed out as time passes and we learn how users view categories and flows of tickets. Planning is key but bear in mind that just because you used to do it this way doesn't mean you still have to

    It is a very similar tool but Qualys VMDR is much better when it comes to reporting and solutions provided. Asset management is really good in Qualys VMDR. Qualys VMDR support is really quick , you can get a TPM if you run into any issues. Qualys VMDR has wide variety of scanning options which lacks in tenable.

    Spiceworks is an easier-to-use Help Desk solution but it lacks all other features that Topdesk has. Freshdesk was just too much for our environment. It was cost-prohibitive for our intended use. TOPdesk fit our org size and budget better than the others.

    • A good number of incidents can solved more quickly. Those cases can be solved by the customer itself and in TOPdesk it is very easy to send the self-service-solution with your answer.
    • It is easier to report some things based on categorization and good search filtering
    • If there are two or more tickets, they are difficult (or impossible) to merge correctly. There is a merge function, but there is for example, only one client possible. A solution where you close one merged ticket and send separate emails to every single customer would be really nice!
