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.

Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics
Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud helps you not just to identify misconfigurations, but you can actually also fix issues."
"The scalability is good as well. I would rate it ten out of ten."
"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"If I had to say something positive about the product that brings me the biggest benefit, I would say it has accurate reports, gets new update CVEs, zero-day attack detection, and is easy to manage with its GUI."
"TotalCloud's best feature is the integration of cloud accounts. It helps with the risk and security posture management of our cloud infrastructure."
"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"TotalCloud offers a comprehensive suite of features, including EDR, XDR, and TrueRisk, providing a centralized platform for managing vulnerabilities and security risks."
"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 incident and threat logs are great."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity provides machine learning capabilities for threat detection; among the use cases, I have found static AI, behavioral AI, and dynamic AI to help with malware detection, so there are three types of AI in the Singularity console agent."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"Tanium is stable and it is also lightweight."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"For inventory purposes, it's from one of the best things on the scene, as you can get live inventory."
"Tanium is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."
"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."
"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."
"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."
"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."
"Regarding improvements to Qualys TotalCloud, I suggest that user navigation can be enhanced because initially, many users found it complicated and had trouble understanding the platform due to information being spread across multiple tabs."
"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."
"One thing that could be improved is the user experience and navigation."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"They could improve the UI."
"We set a policy to block USB access. The moment a device is being set up on the network, I apply the policy, but it does not come into effect immediately."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"In my opinion, sometimes it takes a long time to give solutions or resolve the issue."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"There are downsides and drawbacks in Tanium, and there is room for improvement from my perspective."
