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.

Helps with risk assessments for containers, assessing security, and ensuring container compliance
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. Customers can conveniently view all companies in a single dashboard if they have different companies. This feature eliminates the need for different solutions and separate installations. Moreover, the solution extends beyond servers, encompassing various platforms such as VMware and Kubernetes. Additionally, end-users can install the solution from their client's perspective.

Advanced rollback and AI-driven insights have protected endpoints and simplified security operations
We can check multiple types of alerts and triggers, and we can analyze these. There are many types of functions such as Kill, Quarantine, and remediate rollback types of features, which we can use for client safety. The rollback feature is the best feature because it is only used in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. We have used multiple types of EDR, but the rollback feature is unique to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. When many types of attacks happen in an organization, the rollback feature deletes all types of malicious files and other malware-type files and completely cleans your system. This feature is very interesting according to me. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides many types of features such as Kill and Quarantine, which are very interesting features for security operations. There are deep visibility features, and Purple AI is also one of the best features. It is easy for security operations and incident response. We can check log analysis with the help of deep visibility, and any types of attacks, malware, and phishing attacks are detected by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Many types of security operations can be tracked and observed with the help of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Purple AI is one of the interesting features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Deep visibility is one of the best features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. You can find any types of logs and any types of devices through searching portals, similar to Google search. It gives you information regarding this. With deep visibility, you can search for any name. For example, we can search for any name and check what is happening with that person's laptops, what USB is connected or disconnected, and whether the network is connected or not. This is with the help of Purple AI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The agent and agentless scanning in TotalCloud, particularly the FlexScan method, is incredibly valuable. With traditional scanning approaches, we had to give IP ranges and whitelist IPs. All that is now simplified. FlexScan requires minimal intervention, and after configuration, it automatically collects data and performs necessary scans."
"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"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."
"One of the features I appreciate is the ability to generate daily reports without relying on anyone else."
"While automatic inventory detection upon connection is a helpful feature, a truly valuable capability would be assessing an environment's security posture against Azure and CIS best practices."
"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."
"Its excellent graphical interface makes the scanning process simple."
"Runecast is a good partner for VMware. Once we have installed it, we can see all the problems and issues. It also has VMware knowledge-based articles."
"The UI is very good."
"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"SentinelOne's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."
"The most valuable aspect of Singularity Cloud Security is its unified dashboard."
"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."
"It saves us time based on savings on manual activities."
"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
 

Cons

"We would like to see Windows-based sensors available in Qualys, as this would make the platform more versatile and support a broader range of environments."
"Overall, we are satisfied with it. However, the response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved. It is not yet in place according to requirements; it is not completely available even though the module has been released."
"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."
"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."
"Regarding technical support from Qualys, they respond, but the response time can be too long. Sometimes we need to wait weeks for solutions to simple questions."
"Qualys TotalCloud's increasing complexity, due to the development and deployment of multiple solutions, is making the GUI difficult to navigate."
"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."
"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."
"The product lacks network assessment capabilities. We cannot view our network assets or scan switches, routers, or IPs for vulnerabilities and issues."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"One area that could be improved in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is their policies; the way they have configured the policies could be enhanced."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
