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.

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.

Granular protection has improved cloud workload visibility and reduced breach and ransomware risk

Trellix Cloud Workload Security is important in our organization because it reduces our risk of data breaches, protects from ransomware, and addresses the misconfiguration of cloud resources such as AWS and Azure. If any lateral movement has occurred in our infrastructure, it provides me with an alert, along with notifications of any container misconfiguration. We also receive continuous visibility of servers and compliance assurance for our vulnerability protection, ensuring that if something is not patched or vulnerable, the vulnerabilities are fixed. The best feature of Trellix Cloud Workload Security is the granular level implementation and configuration of ransomware protection, which includes a threat prevention module and vulnerability protection, allowing us to protect our servers with the help of container security. When discussing the granular level implementation in Trellix Cloud Workload Security, it means that when we configure the policies for threat prevention, we can define many aspects such as the type of file, kernel level, boot level, execution read-write time, memory-specific, and application-specific parameters. We can configure it properly based on our knowledge and also define the schedule for anti-malware scanning and updates. Trellix Cloud Workload Security has positively impacted our organization by improving our visibility across cloud and infrastructure, showing how many workloads we have and what is occurring with those workloads. It enhances protection against threat monitoring through real-time alerts and addresses misconfiguration and vulnerabilities on workloads and running applications. Additionally, it ensures compliance with organizational and industry securities, facilitating faster incident detection and response, which helps our IT and security team proactively remediate risks before major incidents occur. When discussing faster incident detection and response with Trellix Cloud Workload Security, if any alert comes through, such as a vulnerability detected on a server, expanding the alert provides us with MITRE framework tactics and techniques, including necessary remediations for updates or modifications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards are particularly valuable as they offer a comprehensive view of the environment, highlighting any misconfigurations."

"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."

"TruRisk Insights is the most important innovation they've released this year."

"By integrating TotalCloud, we have significantly reduced vulnerabilities in our deployment pipeline."

"TotalCloud provides the easiest and the best approach for cloud infrastructure management."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."

"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."

"The most valuable aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are its alerting system and the remediation guidance it provides."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable features like runtime notifications. These alerts come to my account, ensuring that if any port or component within my infrastructure is opened or compromised, I am informed immediately. It highlights issues within minutes or even seconds."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has impacted my company positively as it provides good protection for the company and for the services."

"It saves us time based on savings on manual activities."

"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."

"The cloud misconfiguration feature and Offensive Security Engine, as well as their alerting process, are valuable."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The discovery feature is the most valuable. After you integrate your cloud environment, maybe an Azure or AWS, or a private environment hosted on VMware, it automatically starts discovering the number of servers that are running on that cloud and the number of services that you have done. It is a beautiful feature because, from a security standpoint, it is difficult to identify which VM is compliant or not when you keep on provisioning a number of VMs in the cloud. It also checks for compliance. It checks whether a system is compliant and whether antivirus is installed on a VM. If an antivirus is installed, it checks whether the antivirus is updated to the latest signature package or not. All these things are beautifully done by McAfee Cloud Workload Security. For communicating with the McAfee server, you need to install an agent on the VM. McAfee Cloud Workload Security gives you a direct opportunity to install an agent on a Windows machine. If you have a Windows cloud, you can directly push that agent onto the VM through your McAfee portal. It provides you a single dashboard view of all servers present in the cloud. It shows the servers on which the antivirus is already installed as well as the servers for which the antivirus installation is still pending. This dashboard view is a much-needed thing. It also has a centralized management, which makes it easy to use."

"From my personal experience as a reseller, what really stands out in Trellix Cloud Workload Security is that it provides focused security with enhanced protection for servers in a cloud environment."

"All these things are beautifully done by McAfee Cloud Workload Security."

"Trellix Cloud Workload Security has positively impacted my organization by providing prominent visibility concerning detection, threat, risk, and vulnerabilities across the cloud environment, helping us to be proactive in risk mitigation before any disaster happens."

"Trellix Cloud Workload Security has positively impacted our organization by improving our visibility across cloud and infrastructure, showing how many workloads we have and what is occurring with those workloads."

"The most valuable feature is the application control."

Cons

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

"Qualys TotalCloud has the potential to improve by integrating a hybrid platform for comprehensive management of both on-premises and cloud infrastructures."

"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."

"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 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."

"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."

"The cloud licensing unit system is unclear, especially since "units" aren't well-defined."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"There is one concern related to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security platform. They claim it as an AI-based integration that will provide runtime protection."

"I would like additional integrations."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security could be improved with easier integrations to the Singularity Data Lake, particularly for various vendors."

"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."

"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."

"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 filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."

"I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"I still believe the support could improve because we face multiple challenges with Trellix support for solving issues, which take too long."

"The first is the limited CNAPP capabilities compared to other security solutions like Aqua and Wiz, as Trellix Cloud Workload Security lacks full CNAPP depth, with limited coverage such as CSPM, infrastructure as code scanning, and deep container security."

"Its vulnerability assessment is not the best. We cannot identify the vulnerabilities that are related to the operating system by using McAfee Cloud Workload Security. I wish McAfee would add a vulnerability assessment tool that will not only identify the vulnerability but will also be able to generate a report so that the required patching can be done for the servers. Currently, McAfee Cloud Workload Security only integrates with AWS and Azure. If it can also integrate with GCP, Alibaba, and other cloud services available in the market, it would be good because not all people are using Azure and AWS."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

"Its vulnerability assessment is not the best. We cannot identify the vulnerabilities that are related to the operating system by using McAfee Cloud Workload Security."

"We experience limited customer support, typically requiring a minimum wait of three to four hours for ticket responses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Although Qualys TotalCloud is relatively expensive due to its unique automation features, its cost-effectiveness is rated an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."

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

"I am not sure about the pricing. From what I understand, it is a bit on the higher side, but I do not have the exact numbers."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."

"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."

"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."

"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."

"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."

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."

"PingSafe is fairly priced."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"It is not an expensive product. I am in the Indian market, and it is one of the most reliable and cost-effective solutions."
