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.

Vulnerability management improves with timely support and intuitive reporting

The integration capabilities of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk with our existing security tools or workflows could be enhanced. They have their own methodology for vulnerability scanning and reporting, but while we can integrate ours as well, I would prefer to see that capability improved. The dashboard and reporting part of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs improvement. From a technical aspect, it is very good, but there are some things where the security team needs to dig in a little bit on how they might manipulate the data coming out. It is a very good platform for investigating and managing risk.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS

Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers

Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate TotalCloud's real-time protection and remediation features. The remediation options include automated one-click remedies and custom changes that help manage vulnerabilities efficiently."

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its ability to link clusters of assets, providing a clear model of deployments, vulnerabilities, and statuses."

"Qualys TotalCloud fulfills all these needs."

"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."

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

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

"I appreciate Qualys TotalCloud's ability to onboard any type of device with ease, including containers."

"CSPM is currently the most used feature, and we are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."

"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."

"The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far."

"The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights because they did not have any problems using it."

"There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."

"The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting have helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights."

"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."

"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk pros

"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."

"The stability is excellent."

"It's a great product, and it brings more value with every improvement in the quarter."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"The solution is very simple to use."

"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."

"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."

"The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management pros

Cons

"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."

"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."

"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."

"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."

"Overall, we are satisfied with it. However, the response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved. It is not yet in place according to requirements; it is not completely available even though the module has been released."

"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."

"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."

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"As far as the product is concerned, I would really like the scanning feature to let us know that a threat has been addressed once we apply the relevant patch. We are not seeing this currently when running a scan."

"The presentation of the data could be improved."

"The presentation of the data could be improved. I believe they have significant room for improvement, particularly in making better analysis of the vulnerability data and presenting those data more effectively."

"The scalability could improve."

"There are some challenges with integrations in Arctic Wolf Managed Risk. Some integrations could be improved to enhance functionality."

"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."

"The integration capabilities of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk with our existing security tools or workflows could be enhanced."

"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk cons

"The price could be lower."

"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."

"The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."

"Tenable Vulnerability Management is not very effective for real-time risk prioritization for our organization's security strategy."

"My rating for customer service is three."

"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."

"The biggest problem with the solution is that if you're a small company, you're not going to be able to afford it, nor are you going to be able to manage it."

"Technical support requires constant follow up and that is an issue. I rate support a two out of ten."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management cons

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."

"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."

"The solution is not too expensive."
