Sr Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Risk-based triage has transformed container security and now prioritizes high-impact threats
The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers currently include managing cloud infrastructure and container security while facing major challenges such as alert fatigue. Traditional vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of CVEs on short-lived Kubernetes containers, some of which have no internet exposure or are gone before we can even triage them. I leverage Qualys TotalCloud to move beyond static CVSS. I use it to implement runtime exposure, correlation risk reprioritization, and shift-left integration. This notifies developers to fix a base image upstream rather than patching live ephemeral instances. In my work with cloud and container security, the biggest operational hurdle was alert fatigue. I use Qualys to shift left from static CVSS severity to context-aware risk prioritization. I correlated raw vulnerability data with real-time risk factors such as public network exposure, active runtime execution, or overly permissive IAM roles. This allows us to immediately drop the priority of isolated containers and escalate lower-severity CVEs that sit on an exposed, high-risk path. We can map these findings directly back to our CI/CD pipelines so developers can patch the root base images upstream. We have drastically cut down the signal-to-noise ratio, saved a lot of manual hours doing triage work, and ensured engineering effort goes directly towards high-impact risk reduction.

Real-time monitoring and forensic capabilities enhance compliance and change tracking
The valuable features include real-time monitoring and forensic capabilities. The real-time aspect allows immediate alerts when changes occur, providing a detailed report of exactly what has changed. The rollback feature is another highlight, enabling users to revert files to their previous states if unintended changes occur. Additionally, integration capabilities with other monitoring tools and solutions like Zscaler are also notable.

Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."
"I rate the breadth of FlexScan in providing visibility into on-premises, multicloud, and container environments as fantastic."
"One of the features I appreciate is the ability to generate daily reports without relying on anyone else."
"TotalCloud's best feature is the integration of cloud accounts. It helps with the risk and security posture management of our cloud infrastructure."
"Once you have your vulnerabilities fixed and your patches pushed out using Qualys TotalCloud, then you are able to eliminate threats and cyber risk."
"Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution."
"One of the most valuable features of Qualys TotalCloud is FlexScan, which is specifically for internet-facing VMs. We found this feature to be very useful. It was a key differentiator for us."
"While automatic inventory detection upon connection is a helpful feature, a truly valuable capability would be assessing an environment's security posture against Azure and CIS best practices."
"The valuable features include real-time monitoring and forensic capabilities."
"The overall solution is rated nine out of ten."
"The platform is very useful for connecting cloud vulnerabilities, identities, configurations, and runtime activity to understand actual risk because the combination of all that helps a lot and speeds up the oversight about these risks and helps us to improve it."
"The Falcon platform is very useful for connecting cloud vulnerabilities, identities, configurations, and runtime activity to understand actual risks because it helps us see the correlation between events and perform attack path analysis, which is very helpful in our daily operations."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing false positives and enhancing security day by day; after testing it on 100 to 200 systems, we convinced the client to deploy it across 6,000 workstations and over 500 servers."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The platform is critically important for connecting cloud vulnerabilities, identities, configurations, and runtime activity to understand actual risk because it shows us what is actually running and exploitable and gives a contextual view of the accounts that have access to those things, thus addressing the perfect storm lined up with mis-provisioned accounts, account access, vulnerable packages running on workloads, and vulnerable containers."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has had a positive impact on my organization by giving us the peace of mind we need to know that we are protected."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, what can be improved in Qualys TotalCloud includes pricing and container scanning."
"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"I didn't give it a ten because I would like to see simpler configuration, more customizable dashboards, and better automation and integration options."
"Their customer support needs improvement."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"I think Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its handling of zero-day vulnerabilities and supply chain management because modern ransomware attacks not only target prime critical infrastructures but also the supply chain system."
"The room for improvement, according to the interviewee, lies mainly in customer support, particularly regarding quicker response times."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could be improved by updating the user interface to make it more user-friendly for people who are starting to work with CrowdStrike for the first time because currently there are many sections, and it would be great to have built-in guidance."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"From my perspective, I have not noticed any benefits from using CrowdStrike Falcon as a single platform for cloud security; I do not think it is easier to manage everything in one place or integrates well with my other tools."
"The communication and ease of use can be improved visually so that it is more user-friendly, given that it requires a bit more specialization, but in automated cloud services it always works well; still, it can improve."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."
"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."
"I am not sure about the pricing. From what I understand, it is a bit on the higher side, but I do not have the exact numbers."
"Its price seems higher compared to other tools, but it is worth it. If they could adjust the pricing and make it comparable with other tools, that would be great."
Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"Its price is moderate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"It's an expensive product"
