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.

Helpful on the go compliance reports, simple to use, and integrates well
My advice to others is Warden can be used with any of the public clouds and the integration is simple. If you are using it for your customer, start sharing the report with the customer and you will make good business out of that because for customers, security is a large issue for cloud infrastructure. Warden does a great job making sure that you are getting all the open points regarding your security. You are compliant with security if you're using Warden. Amazon AWS and GCP chose Warden as their security partner of the year. All my customers are happy with the results of the solution. I rate Warden a ten out of ten.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the features I appreciate is the ability to generate daily reports without relying on anyone else."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."
"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."
"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."
"The best feature would be the ability to create policies. It is easy to control and update policies as required."
"With TotalCloud, we can scan through the API. If we are not able to deploy cloud agents on the machine, we can use the API."
"My advice to others is Warden can be used with any of the public clouds and the integration is simple."
"The most valuable features of Warden are the simplicity and the on-the-go compliance reports. You only need to name the place, the country you belong to, and the states you are in and then according to that, it will give you the compliances report. Additionally, Warden integrates well with different cloud providers, such as GCP and Amazon AWS."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"Wiz has helped my organization by allowing us to analyze the critical issues and providing the best way to mitigate these issues with step-by-step guidance."
"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that it has access to all project scopes."
"Wiz positively impacts my organization, especially since we are in the insurance sector where data security is paramount."
"The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts."
"The best features of Wiz are its security capabilities, providing the best security for pharmaceutical products and industries, along with the required dashboard containing customer details and inventory management features."
"Wiz is one of the finest tools that I have used so far, and it gives visibility to all the services based resources, which other tools do not give."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
 

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."
"TotalCloud could improve the classification of vulnerabilities. Specifically, it could enhance the categorization of what aspects fall under patches resolved by OS or software updates and what pertains to configuration adjustments."
"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."
"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations. This shortcoming means we must rely on SCCM when any service stack updates or additional prerequisites are needed."
"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to enhance its scanning capabilities in the IP domain, as it currently lacks the functionality to resolve IPs to their corresponding domain names."
"Qualys TotalCloud has the potential to improve by integrating a hybrid platform for comprehensive management of both on-premises and cloud infrastructures."
"Warden is set to support more cloud providers in the future which will be a benefit, such as Huawei Cloud and Alibaba."
"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."
"When integrating multiple clouds like hybrid cloud with Wiz, these processes need to be more user-friendly because more scripting is required in this scenario."
"We have an integration with ServiceNow, but Wiz's ServiceNow integration is not the best."
"Sometimes it is a very big concern and a big headache for the customer because it finds a lot of findings that could be false positives."
"As for stability, we have seen some issues where our results changed radically from one day to the next, but we had not made radical changes, so we opened a case with support."
"FinOps is an area where Wiz needs enhancement."
"In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate."
"Wiz's pricing model is very poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."
"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."
"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."
"Although Qualys TotalCloud is relatively expensive due to its unique automation features, its cost-effectiveness is rated an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"There is a license to use Warden. The price of the solution is worth the costs."
"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."
"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
