Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues
Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Has enabled efficient internal network scanning and provides detailed vulnerability insights
One thing which I really want Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to improve is the UI. While it might not be the case for everyone and it's subjective, in my team, most people agree on that part. The UI should be more user-friendly. If you have uploaded a file containing many IP addresses, you don't have a straightforward option to check what the IP addresses were. If we want to search an IP address from the list, we need to check it one by one. Also, when we download something, the feature should be upfront. When we get the result of the scan, it should be 'download this file'. In many scanners, when you go to the download option, you get the options for particular formats immediately. However, in this case, when you click on download, it loads another page before giving you the output options for PDF or CSV. This feature should be upfront.

A centralized tool for vulnerability and misconfiguration management in a multiple cloud environment
Qualys TotalCloud provides written explanations to help guide the remediation paths and eliminate cyber risk. We are using TruRisk for the remediations. The TruRisk shows anything critical, and we can then focus on that. We also assess manually whether an asset is a critical target or not. Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk. We are using CIS-CAT standards to harden our clouds, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. We are able to analyze the scans and identify which policies have failed and how we can remediate them. We can customize policies as per our organization's requirements. That is very helpful for us. With the TruRisk Insights feature, security has significantly improved. In six months of using it, we see that everything is under control. We've solved many problems related to asset management, cloud configuration, and the new asset identification. If an application team has onboarded any cloud asset, we can see that. We have that information now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"The best features we value in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security include compliance monitoring features, as we are a frequently audited company. They provide reports with compliance scores, showing how well we meet certain regulatory standards, such as HIPAA, and we can show our compliance as a percentage."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."
"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
"The favorite feature of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is that it provides the whole information of a particular vulnerability, including a comprehensive summary, related CVEs and CVSS score, which helps understand potential risks and allows the output to be exported in various formats like CSV, PDF, or JSON."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is considered a good leader in its field."
"The favorite feature of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is that it provides the whole information of a particular vulnerability, including a comprehensive summary, related CVEs and CVSS score, which helps understand potential risks and allows the output to be exported in various formats like CSV, PDF, or JSON."
"Qualys offers versatility. It can function both with and without agents, offering flexibility in deployment. Furthermore, it provides comprehensive support for various systems such as Windows Server, Unix servers, and databases, including SQL, Oracle, and others for development."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform was helpful with threat prioritization features for resource allocation, and it played a good role in our analysis and day-to-day monitoring."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment for IaaS and SaaS and a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce my workload by not having to combine multiple sources."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."
"I appreciate TotalCloud's real-time protection and remediation features. The remediation options include automated one-click remedies and custom changes that help manage vulnerabilities efficiently."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys TotalCloud is the visibility it provides."
"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"Qualys TotalCloud has significantly reduced our workload in terms of managing risks, helping us to be more efficient and save substantial resources."
"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 vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"For vulnerabilities, they are showing CVE ID. The naming convention should be better so that it indicates the container where a vulnerability is present. Currently, they are only showing CVE ID, but the same CVE ID might be present in multiple containers. We would like to have the container name so that we can easily fix the issue."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSPM tool, but the CWPP features need to improve, and there is a scope for more application security posture management features. There aren't many ASPM solutions on the market, and existing ones are costly. I would like to see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"Once we supplied 130 URLs to it for scanning one by one, and it crashed in between. We did not have any clue what happened, so we had to reach out to support."
"Compared to Microsoft, there were already advanced tools, so I had seen some drawbacks compared to licensing or technical side."
"The report sometimes inaccurately identifies the corresponding operating system version."
"Once we supplied 130 URLs to it for scanning one by one, and it crashed in between. We did not have any clue what happened, so we had to reach out to support."
"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"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."
"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"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."
"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."
"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."
"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
