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.

Solutions Architect and TL Presales Consultant at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Scales well and technical support is good, but it is expensive

The majority of our customers nowadays are looking forward to having cloud-based control models. However, some of our clients have to keep their data in their own data center in order to satisfy compliance. In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good. Overall, it is a very good product. That said, there are other tools that meet the feature requirements and are more cost-effective. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

reviewer2775840

Manager at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."

"My experience with using TruRisk to mitigate noise from raw CVEs has been great."

"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."

"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."

"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."

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."

"Qualys TotalCloud has helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."

"The biggest strengths of Qualys TotalCloud are that it is pretty good at cloud visibility, has easy integration, and also has multi-cloud compatibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good."

"The interface is simple to use."

"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"

"The price is cheaper than other products on the market."

"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."

"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities is a good feature along with the investigation, the trials function, and it's also user friendly."

"Nexpose is one of the best solution on the market with very good development."

"The cost is what is most valuable, because compared to other products on the market the cost is more palatable and the solution provides a single pane of glass where I can do most things."

"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."

"Overall, this is a product that I am very satisfied with."

More Rapid7 InsightVM pros

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."

"I would like the ability to disable certain default built-in policies as they can be misleading when creating dashboards. That is the top one."

"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'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."

"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."

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

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."

"To be honest, I would move out from this tool because it does not give a full view of vulnerability."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."

"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."

"Technical support does not respond quickly."

"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."

"The automation capability remediation needs improvement."

"We are a registered reseller and a trusted partner. However, for us to get any support from them I can't log a call directly with Rapid7 InsightVM. I have to work with the distributor to log the call for me."

"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."

"Rapid7 InsightVM is expensive, possibly one of the highest in pricing among similar products."

"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."

"In terms of improvements, its price could be better. Our main issue with Rapid7 is that it is too expensive. You can only sell it to enterprise accounts. In terms of new features, Rapid7 came up with a product called InsightIDR a couple of years ago, which is a good SIEM solution. We expect that Rapid7 will work on some sort of integration between InsightVM and InsightIDR, where vulnerability or anomaly detected by InsightVM can be reported in InsightIDR in some sort of real-time. Rapid7 doesn't patch. For example, if you have a vulnerability, some products can scan and also do the patching, but Rapid7 does not do the patching. It would be nice if it can also patch."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."

"Its price seems higher compared to other tools, but it is worth it. If they could adjust the pricing and make it comparable with other tools, that would be great."

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

"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."

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

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

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."

"InsightVM is an expensive product, especially compared to its competitors, at around a million NOK per year."

"The license is annual and this is the optimal approach when it comes to most software."

"The solution's pricing is better than Nexus which charges a high amount for very little use."

"The price of the solution is less than the competitors."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year."

"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."

"It is pretty expensive. It depends on what you consider pricey, however, if you only look at vulnerability management solutions, such as within VM or VMDR, there are, I suppose the prices are almost the same. But I believe you will discover that for yourself."
