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.

High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds
The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud for our container management is Kubernetes. It provides a cluster, high availability, and a self-healing mechanism. Its multi-cluster management capability enhances our operational efficiency as it is easy to use, and every deployment is from the CI/CD, which automatically builds and deploys without human interference, reducing our deployment time to a few seconds.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Security Consultant at Ernst & Young
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted my organization by providing visibility into the environment."
"If I had to say something positive about the product that brings me the biggest benefit, I would say it has accurate reports, gets new update CVEs, zero-day attack detection, and is easy to manage with its GUI."
"The most valuable feature is the consolidated information that it provides from various platforms."
"Qualys TotalCloud fulfills all these needs."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."
"Qualys TotalCloud is overall the best tool available in the market for scanning purposes."
"CSPM is currently the most used feature, and we are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"The most important thing that my clients focus on is rapid deployment, and in this regard, Docker wins hands-down."
"Using this solution for a production environment that should be working 24/7 is the biggest proof of stability."
"It took us 30% faster to implement the solutions that we used to have with other platforms, and the flexibility has increased by 50%."
"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud."
"Mirantis Container Cloud operates similarly to how we interact with databases. It provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and managing containerized applications across cloud environments."
"You don't need to do anything; just deploy it, run it, and then it does all the work by itself."
"What I find valuable is the ease of setup with Trivy, including pre-defined operators that require minimal configuration."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
"Trivy's ability to scan files, images, GitHub repositories, Infrastructure as Code like Terraform, and Kubernetes is valuable."
"Trivy is most valuable for its ability to scan all repository files and dependencies."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"The vulnerability part is good, but the policy compliance module needs improvement because it involves a lot of manual work. Specifically, the remediation part of the controls requires enhancements."
"The onboarding process is a bit difficult. In the initial phase, it is very difficult to understand the features, what the dashboard contains, and what criteria they are using."
"Qualys's ticketing system can be confusing when assigning tasks to individuals, and support could be improved by offering instant call solutions with engineers in addition to ticket replies."
"In terms of improvement, remediation still belongs to the cloud team, which is one of the issues we faced with Qualys TotalCloud."
"Their support could be improved."
"It is already perfect, but they can bring some newer dashboards and customization options for the dashboard. It would be great to be able to include on-prem assets on the dashboard."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"Qualys' customer service provides quality answers, but the response time is long, even though it is within the SLA."
"It would be very nice to have a GUI that can be used by any administrator, and not just people who have experience with Docker."
"I think this solution needs better security due to rising threats from the outside world."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
"Integration with Windows is something that can be improved."
"When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that."
"More integrations with other platforms would be beneficial."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"This solution is open-source and they need to focus on improving the Linux Operating Systems' GUI. It does not have a GUI making it not user-friendly. Additionally, the containers need to improve security and compliance."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format. Additionally, it takes longer to scan container images built with many layers."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
