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.

Cloud risk visibility has transformed how I prioritize threats and reduce unnecessary spend

From my perspective, Orca Security is a really good tool. I would say one area I would like to see CNAPP platforms get is more intelligence when it comes to risk prioritization, which correlates with vulnerability, exposing assets, identities, and active threats to help the security team focus on risks that are more likely to be exploited. I am a huge advocate for automation. I also think deeper automation for remediation or stronger integration with ticketing and CI/CD pipelines or more customization would help. Executive reporting would help the security team respond significantly faster and communicate risk more effectively if those kinds of improvements are made.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"TotalCloud provides the easiest and the best approach for cloud infrastructure management."

"TotalCloud has been excellent in providing us with immediate access to all the products and features we need, such as CSPM, TruRisk Insights, and compliance reports, including CIS and HIPAA."

"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."

"I appreciate Qualys TotalCloud's ability to onboard any type of device with ease, including containers."

"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"TruRisk Insights is the most important innovation they've released this year."

"If someone were to ask me to review Qualys TotalCloud, I would summarize it as an end-to-end solution for cloud security with visibility and governance-grade controls without needing to manage multiple disconnected tools."

"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."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"OrcA Security improved our collaboration because we could explain better to everyone at the company what we were doing and how it positively impacts our security posture."

"The most valuable feature of Orca Security is the automated scanning tool, user-friendliness, and ease of use."

"Orca Security has helped me in preventing risks and attacks across my application life cycle by being the base of the whole secure development life cycle I implemented in my previous experience, which was crucial for detecting vulnerabilities both in development and runtime."

"It covers our entire multi-cloud environment in a single view and tells us everything we need to know about our vulnerability footprint."

"The visibility Orca provides into my environment is at the highest level... When I dropped them into the environment, from the very get-go I had more insight into the risks in my environment than I had had during the entire two and a half years I had been here."

"Orca Security is easier to use than other alternatives; you need a little skill to dominate Orca Security compared to other options and Orca Security is more user-friendly and in this case is more enjoyable."

"If I consider the analogy of the house, I expected to be able to see under the floor, what I did not expect was to be able to see behind all of the walls and through the ceiling and through the roof and into the basement, and everywhere."

"Orca Security saves resources because it provides the actual output on the screen with the package path."

More Orca Security pros

"The most valuable part of it was probably the ability to intercept and modify calls."

"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."

"The most valuable part is that a beginner can run those scans and the V scanning of that particular vulnerability."

"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."

"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."

"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."

"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition pros

Cons

"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."

"In TotalCloud, I would suggest improvements in policy checks to cater to various inventory types like VPCs, subnets, S3 buckets, or IAMs. There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."

"There is room for improvement in the support."

"Their customer support needs improvement."

"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."

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

"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."

"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"As with all software, the user interface can always be made simpler to use. It would be helpful for people with very little knowledge, like somebody sitting behind the SOC, to allow them to be able to drill down into things a little bit easier than it is currently."

"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."

"Orca Security can improve the way that a customer can create auto-remediation without depending on support to do that."

"I would say one area I would like to see CNAPP platforms get is more intelligence when it comes to risk prioritization, which correlates with vulnerability, exposing assets, identities, and active threats to help the security team focus on risks that are more likely to be exploited."

"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options. They're working on that, but the more the better. For example, if they want you to harden a server, they would offer a hardening script that would be more aware of what's going on."

"The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off."

"I would like to see better customization options for security frameworks and better integration with reporting tools like Power BI or Grafana dashboards."

"The presentation of the data in the dashboard is a little bit chaotic."

More Orca Security cons

"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."

"The solution is a bit expensive."

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."

"Scalability could be better."

"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."

"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."

"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."

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."

"As a middle management member, I do not have direct pricing knowledge, but based on the knowledge from our meetings, its pricing is competitive."

"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 is expensive."

"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."

"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."

"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."

"The pricing depends on how many assets you have running in your cloud and how many environments you have. If you have a dev environment, test environment, and a production environment then it's really important that you have coverage for all of them."

"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."

"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."

"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."

"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."

More Orca Security pricing and cost advice

"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."

"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is neither a cheap nor an expensive product. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is a good tool for companies."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."
