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.

Compliance automation has transformed audits and now frees teams to focus on healthcare innovation
I would say that not too much can be improved, but definitely a few things can enhance Sprinto and that will have a good impact on the upcoming customers or the clients that are going to opt Sprinto as their choice. One of the sectors could be the reporting side. Although it has a good reporting platform, I still feel that daily tracking or some complex level of reports we need to share with the leadership team. In that case, we can enhance the reporting and its UI look and feel a little bit more. On a usability side, sometimes occasionally if something weird is happening on the cloud services or on the network side, it may send us an alert, then we get to know that it may be a kind of false or ghost alert. Then we need to check out with the service cloud provider as there might be some glitch or delay. A more robust retry logic mechanism that automatically refreshes its functioning can help a little bit more. Although it is working well for the Windows and Mac OS users on a very mature level, things can still be enhanced for the Linux or mobile support users, just to diversify the engineering over there.

Data governance has strengthened and automation now reduces risk and manual compliance work
Varonis Platform offers key features including data discovery, data classification, data analysis, governance, user and entity behavior analysis, also known as UEBA, which helps in ransomware detection, insider threat detection, and compliance reporting. It does a lot of automation from a remediation standpoint, as well as investigation and forensics. The number one feature that makes the biggest difference for my clients is visibility into unstructured data; that is the most difficult for organizations to achieve. They do not have a good understanding of where sensitive data resides, who has access to this data, whether this access is appropriate, and how data is being used. Varonis Platform provides visibility, governance, threat detection, and automated remediation around data. Varonis Platform is a great data discovery platform that provides visibility into sensitive data estimates and how it is being used. Clients have been able to reduce excessive permissions, strengthen their compliance posture, detect insider threats, and ransomware activity, which would otherwise be difficult and manual. Varonis Platform is deployed in my clients' organizations in a combination of all types. Many clients use Varonis Platform in a largely SaaS-based model since it is a data security platform consumed in this way, and many organizations still operate hybrid environments. As far as Varonis Platform is in a position to get the data source and identify systems, it can discover and classify more secure data. Deployment in most of our clients is cloud-based, connecting to Microsoft 365, AWS, or other SaaS applications such as Salesforce. In other environments, it is a hybrid deployment with SaaS and on-premises, including file servers, NAS devices, and AD servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"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."
"Its dashboards are brilliant. It provides in-depth insights."
"I like the web API security and IoT scanning features the most. The user-friendly design of TotalCloud's interface enables customers to navigate it and use its full potential easily"
"The best feature would be the ability to create policies. It is easy to control and update policies as required."
"TruRisk Insights is the most important innovation they've released this year."
"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."
"Sprinto is a very good tool with no need for improvements."
"Sprinto has positively impacted our organization by helping us to obtain certificates like ISO, which has allowed our organization to reach out to customers and acquire new clients."
"Sprinto has impacted our organization very positively by streamlining compliance management, reducing audit preparation effort, improving visibility into our security controls, and ensuring ongoing compliance rather than treating audits as a one-time project."
"The best features Sprinto offers are that it saves time and manual effort, reduces audit preparation stress, and a lot of manual work during audits, which improves our visibility and compliance status and enhances our security."
"In every IT sector or domain, compliance auditing plays a vital role, and it has literally helped us in a very good sense, up to leveraging its capabilities to a high level, providing paperless work, generating the reports quickly, having the auditing compliance things in place, checking out if all systems are following all standard best practices or not, sending out alerts, notifications, and other key metrics already in place."
"The solution's classification engine is highly configurable and efficient."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature, and they have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"Varonis offers robust data access governance, allowing us to understand which sensitive data exists and who has access to it."
"Overall, if you want to check your data from an initial point of view, Varonis Platform is the best use case you can consider."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"The most important feature is remediation. In remediation support, there is no group permission. We'll go ahead and remediate the access from the Dell folder to the parent folder."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"Varonis Platform has positively impacted my organization by providing clarity regarding data and permissions, improving visibility, security, and compliance."
 

Cons

"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."
"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."
"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."
"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."
"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."
"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"More customizable compliance reports could be improved in Sprinto, and additional integration with security and DevOps tools could be added."
"I chose a rating of nine out of ten because it offers quite a good UI experience, but I am concerned about some bugs on the UI side."
"On a usability side, sometimes occasionally if something weird is happening on the cloud services or on the network side, it may send us an alert, then we get to know that it may be a kind of false or ghost alert."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"There is one area for improvement. We have different tools for DPDP and other certifications related to auditing that we cannot configure in Sprinto."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"The product is very complicated."
"The solution's areas of improvement are the interface and the dependency on on-premises deployment for some components."
"It is significantly complex."
"For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360."
"It would be beneficial if the reporting in Varonis Platform could use PDFs instead of Excel for better graphs, as the dashboards are really good, and it would be nice to have simplified dashboards in PDF for business reporting purposes."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords."
"The potential areas of improvement I see for Varonis Platform are that it doesn't have a SIEM or SOAR console where you can see your incidents or a native style incident case management where you can see all your incidents and do the tracking of all those things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."
"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."
