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.

Manages vulnerabilities effectively over time but needs improvement in web coverage and dashboard flexibility

Most of the dynamic asset tagging we use is manual, not dynamic. To manage the assets, we employed the manual approach because we have a limitation regarding the license, so we don't use the dynamic approach much. I don't know how the configuration assessment has assisted with meeting compliance standards. The product that we use is the on-premise solution where we configure assets and dynamically scan them. However, we use the default policies more, the template, so Rapid7 InsightVM on-premise version is not that effective in the web-related systems. However, it is best on the OS to identify and discover the OS-related vulnerabilities, more of open ports and the discovery of vulnerable ports or services. It would be better to improve Rapid7 InsightVM by including or working better to add web-related templates because it's not that effective in regard to web. I don't know if they may have a separate product regarding the web, but for the on-premise type, they are not strong in this area. I would prefer to see web-related templates in addition to improving the dashboard-related things because the dashboard has been constant for a very long time. It would be better to see various kinds of, perhaps a flexible type of dashboard. If it's not customizable at all, I would want to see the risk and asset over time with more flexibility. The current dashboard is not flexible in this regard; I have to dig down every day, so they should work on this as well, in addition to the web.

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"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."

"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."

"The product is easy to use."

"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."

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

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

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

"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."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition pros

More Rapid7 InsightVM pros

Cons

"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."

"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."

"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."

"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."

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

"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."

"In a future release, I suggest that zero-day vulnerabilities should be predicted in advance using AI technologies. The system is not 100% secure yet, so proactive threat hunting could be enhanced to be more proactive than the current system."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."

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

"The solution is a bit expensive."

"It's not a stable product. Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to scan."

"The stability of the scans could be improved."

"The stability is a big issue. So many times the scans fail."

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

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

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition cons

"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."

"There are some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations, the information that you can get from the APIs in the software is not the best."

"They should improve the cybersecurity feature of the solution."

"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."

"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."

"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."

"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."

"I do not like the fact that as a vulnerability scanner, this product has a fault to a certain extent."
