reviewer2859021 - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Risk-based triage has transformed container security and now prioritizes high-impact threats
The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers currently include managing cloud infrastructure and container security while facing major challenges such as alert fatigue. Traditional vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of CVEs on short-lived Kubernetes containers, some of which have no internet exposure or are gone before we can even triage them. I leverage Qualys TotalCloud to move beyond static CVSS. I use it to implement runtime exposure, correlation risk reprioritization, and shift-left integration. This notifies developers to fix a base image upstream rather than patching live ephemeral instances. In my work with cloud and container security, the biggest operational hurdle was alert fatigue. I use Qualys to shift left from static CVSS severity to context-aware risk prioritization. I correlated raw vulnerability data with real-time risk factors such as public network exposure, active runtime execution, or overly permissive IAM roles. This allows us to immediately drop the priority of isolated containers and escalate lower-severity CVEs that sit on an exposed, high-risk path. We can map these findings directly back to our CI/CD pipelines so developers can patch the root base images upstream. We have drastically cut down the signal-to-noise ratio, saved a lot of manual hours doing triage work, and ensured engineering effort goes directly towards high-impact risk reduction.

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.

User interface needs refinement while providing robust security and cost management
Xops helps me with cloud finance management by allowing me to monitor my spending, and just a couple of months ago, I noticed that my AWS bill, which usually hovers around 50k monthly, spiked unexpectedly. I received an alert on the dashboard and via email about a sudden increase in usage, enabling me to rectify the actual problem and bring things back to normal. The best features of Xops, in my experience, include the FinOps component for checking unnecessary spending trends, the cloud security features, and the cybersecurity and workload security features that allow me to frequently check for vulnerabilities on images and websites. The cloud security feature of Xops stands out to me because it helps maintain compliance status by providing multiple compliance checks, including ISO and CIS benchmarks, and it is not limited to AWS, as it also includes Azure cloud scans and O365 cloud scans, allowing me to monitor security across various platforms. Other useful features of Xops include asset management tools and automation scripts, which help me check what assets I have across all regions, giving me a global view whenever I need it. Xops has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to save money and proactively detect issues, especially related to cloud spending, while also improving my routine security checks for any misconfigurations. While some metrics are difficult to quantify, I regularly run scans to catch security vulnerabilities that may arise due to changing user settings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My experience with using TruRisk to mitigate noise from raw CVEs has been great."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."
"TotalCloud has been excellent in providing us with immediate access to all the products and features we need, such as CSPM, TruRisk Insights, and compliance reports, including CIS and HIPAA."
"The biggest strengths of Qualys TotalCloud are that it is pretty good at cloud visibility, has easy integration, and also has multi-cloud compatibility."
"Qualys TotalCloud helps you not just to identify misconfigurations, but you can actually also fix issues."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys TotalCloud is the visibility it provides."
"We were able to realize its benefits within 24 to 48 hours."
"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"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."
"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."
"Sprinto has positively impacted my organization by saving a lot of time, and how much is difficult to say."
"Sprinto has significantly helped us as a small company with about 250 employees by allowing us to identify and address compliance gaps as needed, achieving certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 in a fraction of the time it would have taken otherwise."
"Specific outcomes since using Sprinto include reduced audit preparation effort by approximately 50 to 60%, significantly reduced manual evidence collection, faster remediation of compliance gaps, and improved visibility into compliance status across the organization."
"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 is a very good tool with no need for improvements."
"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."
"Xops helped us mitigate the frequent external attacks that we have been trying to curb for a long time now, and more importantly, it helps with an easy-to-understand dashboard where I can monitor the services in use, optimizations, and ultimately the costs."
"Xops has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to save money and proactively detect issues, especially related to cloud spending, while also improving my routine security checks for any misconfigurations."
"X-Ops has significantly improved our organization by streamlining cloud cost governance and enhancing the security posture across our AWS trading environment."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution include the Cloud FinOps Dashboards and the vulnerability scans."
"The automated compliance monitoring reduced our manual security audits by 60%, allowing our team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than repetitive checks."
"The AWS cost optimization features have been game-changing - particularly the automated detection of idle EC2 instances and unattached EBS volumes that were silently draining our budget."
 

Cons

"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
"Customer support with Qualys TotalCloud needs a little improvement with the response times."
"TotalCloud could improve the classification of vulnerabilities. Specifically, it could enhance the categorization of what aspects fall under patches resolved by OS or software updates and what pertains to configuration adjustments."
"Their support could be improved."
"Qualys's ticketing system can be confusing when assigning tasks to individuals, and support could be improved by offering instant call solutions with engineers in addition to ticket replies."
"More customizable compliance reports could be improved in Sprinto, and additional integration with security and DevOps tools could be added."
"There are a couple of things that didn't work for me that well."
"There is one area for improvement. We have different tools for DPDP and other certifications related to auditing that we cannot configure in Sprinto."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"More customizable compliance reports, additional integration with security and DevOps tools, enhanced security scoring and prioritization, and more advanced automated remediation recommendations would be beneficial."
"One important improvement for Sprinto would be to review the costing part, as the cost is rather high."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"While Xops delivers on core functionality, the platform could benefit from more mature AI models for anomaly detection."
"I chose four out of five because I believe more UI enhancements and a cleaner UX navigation could elevate it to a perfect five."
