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.

The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications. I noticed that some of the niche apps our data software firm needs were not in the regular library. We were able to use the custom app feature to create those apps ourselves, but I would love it if Kandji could expand the library. I also wish Kandji could lock down different ports on MacBooks based on which ones we wanted to shut down, and I hope there is an easier way to sandbox people's bring your own device devices because when we're doing SOC 2, it really wants us to sandbox things so that if someone were to take a device that is not ours, we could delete just our data off there and not theirs. An improvement needed for Kandji would be the ability to remote into devices. I would appreciate something that is really reliable for that without having to buy third-party software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud is overall the best tool available in the market for scanning purposes."
"One of the features I appreciate is the ability to generate daily reports without relying on anyone else."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys TotalCloud is the visibility it provides."
"By integrating TotalCloud, we have significantly reduced vulnerabilities in our deployment pipeline."
"Qualys TotalCloud fulfills all these needs."
"Qualys TotalCloud has improved our security posture."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"My experience with using TruRisk to mitigate noise from raw CVEs has been great."
"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."
"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."
"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."
"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it easy to manage all of our MacBook devices and applications."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization by simplifying the management of the Apple fleet."
"After switching to Kandji, we have seen a return on investment, specifically in human resource savings."
"Everything is now compliant and controlled, and we know where each device is, with all updates pushed and managed and licenses that they do not require."
"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it so we feel confident in our security structure, and we feel confident that we can pass SOC 2 every year because we know that Kandji is doing what it says it's doing."
"After deploying Kandji, I see a return on investment because the IT workload is reduced due to automated and faster employee onboarding, and we also have fewer support tickets because we do not have to manually install the software as employees can use Kandji Self Service and install the software on their own."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization by providing remote and quick support."
"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it is very user-friendly, and among the multiple MDM solutions I have used, such as JumpCloud and Intune, Kandji stands out as one of the best for Mac devices."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, what can be improved in Qualys TotalCloud includes pricing and container scanning."
"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."
"Customer support with Qualys TotalCloud needs a little improvement with the response times."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"Overall, we are satisfied with it. However, the response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved. It is not yet in place according to requirements; it is not completely available even though the module has been released."
"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."
"In terms of improvement, remediation still belongs to the cloud team, which is one of the issues we faced with Qualys TotalCloud."
"The reporting functions can use improvement."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."
"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"While I do not have anything specific to add about the features, I do think there is a lack of flexibility in Kandji."
"The Windows part needs a lot of work."
"One thing I have noticed is that Kandji is mainly for Mac devices."
"I believe Kandji can be improved by having more self-service options, as users can complete a few steps before reaching out to IT support, which will give us more context on the issue."
"I rated Kandji an eight because the laptop needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to erase it."
"One thing I think could be improved is what happens when a user gets locked out."
"In Kandji, I see a drawback related to the remote wipe function."
"While it might be on the expensive side compared to Jamf Pro, it is closer in pricing to other MDMs such as Microsoft Intune, which comes with the EMS E3 license, making it potentially pricey for startups, yet a good cost for established enterprises."
