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.

Unified dashboards have streamlined code‑to‑cloud risk tracking and reduced manual reviews
The best features of Wiz Code that I appreciate the most include their entire dashboarding and the seamless integration with different DevOps tooling like GitHub or Azure DevOps. It seamlessly integrates, allowing you to run scanners directly onto the machines without consuming too many resources, and the recategorization of vulnerabilities is absolutely wonderful, giving you a complete attack path, which is something I love about Wiz Code because it details the entire lateral movement of the issue, whether it is a complete shift-left or shift-right, serving as the differentiators compared to other tools in the market. When I talk about ROI with Wiz Code, it almost cuts you down to 20% to 25% of the daily effort needed in terms of FTE. If you are working with around 100 developers or engineers, you might come down to 60 to 70 engineers, with the rest completely automated by removing false positives, showcasing where the USP comes in.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Generally, Qualys is very good at detections, whether on cloud or on-prem, and the agent allows deployment on both infrastructures, providing continuous monitoring of your assets, which is a key selling point for us."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its cloud security posture management, Kubernetes, and container security capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is extensibility."
"One of the features I appreciate is the ability to generate daily reports without relying on anyone else."
"Qualys TotalCloud is an excellent platform, and the beauty of the platform is that we can get all the vulnerabilities, see all the reports in a single dashboard, view them segregated, and easily learn about critical, high, and medium findings with appropriately provided remediation steps."
"The vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."
"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."
"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."
"In my opinion, all the security features Wiz Code offers are the best."
"The best features with Wiz Code give you a reasonable picture when it comes to vulnerabilities, which means you see the usual severity levels, you also get to see references on how to remediate vulnerabilities, and the fact that it has a visual dashboard helps all stakeholders, especially folks who need to remediate, to get that picture correctly and then take action."
"The best features of Wiz Code that I appreciate the most include their entire dashboarding and the seamless integration with different DevOps tooling like GitHub or Azure DevOps, allowing you to run scanners directly onto the machines without consuming too many resources, and the recategorization of vulnerabilities is absolutely wonderful, giving you a complete attack path, which is something I love about Wiz Code because it details the entire lateral movement of the issue, whether it is a complete shift-left or shift-right, serving as the differentiators compared to other tools in the market."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted my organization through the unified platform that gives the ability to shift left in security and detect issues before they go into production."
 

Cons

"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations."
"Their support could be improved."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations. This shortcoming means we must rely on SCCM when any service stack updates or additional prerequisites are needed."
"I have a big improvement in mind for Wiz Code, not a small improvement."
"Regarding pricing, I would say that the pricing model is a little bit hefty on the pocket."
