Unified risk scoring has improved our cloud visibility and simplifies remediation priorities

Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IAS and SaaS. This solution provides a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce the work I would have to do. We are no longer based on CVSS; we are based on Qualys risk scoring, which is based on CVSS plus internal findings made by Qualys, and then assigns its own score. The TruRisk insight feature has found a small number of assets with high vulnerability scores, though I am cautious since some information is classified. Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution.

Service Coordinator - Technology Security at a government with 10,001+ employees

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.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS

Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers

Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view based on requirements such as identifying the most vulnerable assets and calculating the average time to remediate vulnerabilities."

"The best features in Qualys TotalCloud include the total asset management of the cloud environment. It is very easy to export the report and see the vulnerabilities related to the cloud specifically."

"Its excellent graphical interface makes the scanning process simple."

"CSPM is currently the most used feature, and we are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs."

"The vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."

"By integrating TotalCloud, we have significantly reduced vulnerabilities in our deployment pipeline."

"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"The most valuable feature is extensibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"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 IP360 is a very stable solution."

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."

"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."

"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."

"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."

"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."

"It is useful for scanning the whole environment to check for any vulnerabilities, allowing us to deploy patches and close these vulnerabilities so we end up with an environment with no vulnerabilities and increased security posture and security levels."

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management gives a good ROI in the long run, though it would be better with a pay-as-you-go model."

"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."

"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."

"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."

"The main benefits that Tenable Vulnerability Management provides for me as an end user include saving time and money and streamlining processes."

"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

Cons

"It has been working very well, but it would be helpful if the dashboard could generate reports tailored to specific compliance needs. For example, in India, we have to comply with RBI and SEBI guidelines. It w"

"TotalCloud could improve its scanning of niche devices like Wi-Fi dongles and USB modems because they are often untested. It covers everything else, like laptops, mobile devices, and Bluetooth IoT devices. They can improve on the small IoT devices because hackers and testers use these."

"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."

"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."

"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."

"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."

"Qualys TotalCloud's increasing complexity, due to the development and deployment of multiple solutions, is making the GUI difficult to navigate."

"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"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 need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"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."

"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."

"Tenable is a full-service product, but it still has a lot of improvements to make, so I'd recommend exploring other products before implementing it."

"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons."

"The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports."

"It would be helpful if Tenable could be more clear with regard to everything the solution can and cannot do with the particular license that you have."

"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."

"One area that they could improve is technical support. Oftentimes, it's not as good as it should be."

"Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."
