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.

Good value for money; great for policy management
Our model of deployment for this solution is on-premises. For people looking into this solution and trying to use it for the first time, I'd say make your life easier by using the SUSE product as well on top of your community scale stack. That makes your integration points a lot easier and smoother. I would also say during your initial setup, make sure that your clusters are already in terms of the capabilities with the version required. I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this rating is that what they offer is solid, but they could expand their service and add more features just to make more things integrated into an enterprise itself.

Modernization of microservices and edge workloads has accelerated while integration still needs improvement
One of the major challenges I faced with SUSE Rancher was during a POC for one customer who was using VMware. There was a significant challenge between VMware CSI and SUSE integrations. We had to move that deployment from VMware, which the customer wanted, to a bare metal solution. Flexibility also means better integrations with major industry solution providers like VMware, which many enterprise organizations use. The integrations with SUSE Rancher are fine, as long as you have open APIs, anyone can connect. For me, there were no challenges because we had standard products already certified. However, the integration between VMware and SUSE could definitely be improved. I chose 7 out of 10 because I faced VMware-related challenges as I explained. A lot of customers are still on VMware, while many also use Red Hat solutions, especially with the IBM push now. The marketing and outreach need to increase to penetrate more accounts, which are the two improvements I suggest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"The most valuable feature is extensibility."
"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."
"Qualys TotalCloud has significantly improved our organization by automating our reporting processes, reducing the time spent on report creation from two hours to less than fifteen to twenty minutes."
"In my opinion, this is the best tool."
"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."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost."
"The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."
"When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."
"The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities."
"The UI has a lot of features."
"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security."
"SUSE Rancher has positively impacted my organization by making the teams' work easier and reducing project delivery time."
"SUSE Rancher has made things easier for my team and organization by reducing errors, as I use it every day of the week, and it shows us issues through dashboards."
"SUSE Rancher helps me manage and automate processes with Kubernetes through full integration from hardware to application."
"I could say that with SUSE Rancher, we've managed to cut the provisioning time to probably one-tenth of the usual provisioning time."
"SUSE Rancher has positively impacted my organization with increased efficiency in a 10x manner."
"Rancher Desktop provides support for Kubernetes setup on local machines."
"The end-to-end deployment was at least 30 percent cheaper than OpenShift, which was the biggest criterion since customers are cost-conscious."
"SUSE Rancher is best used for large-scale applications such as ours; it manages very high-end infrastructure, and it has very good customer support, and it is very easy to understand in terms of usage."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the support."
"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."
"Their support could be improved."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"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."
"The cloud licensing unit system is unclear, especially since "units" aren't well-defined."
"In my opinion, what can be improved in Qualys TotalCloud includes pricing and container scanning."
"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."
"Using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved."
"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."
"The documentation needs to improve a bit."
"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."
"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."
"The image-scanning features need improvement."
"However, I found that the support in Egypt was not very qualified, and there was a need to upgrade to a higher support layer to solve my issues."
"I wish the container could be more lightweight so that anyone can test and verify SUSE Rancher Prime."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool, such as addressing the errors, addressing the stability, and addressing the reliability."
"I think SUSE Rancher could be improved by having the documentation more centralized, though it is not that problematic currently."
"It would be beneficial to have more support for the product."
"I have noticed that SUSE Rancher's GUI is slow because we have more than 1,000 pods, and when searching for a pod name, the page takes some time to load."
"Additional features for a paid solution should be included, such as more detailed insights, better graphics, and an improved user interface."
"Some initial setup and configuration were required by the admin side for enabling security policies, which were not supported initially."
"Regarding the platform's features and advantages, it is unfortunate that observability and some artificial intelligence functionality work fully only with a paid subscription."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."
