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.

Boosts security and compliance in multi-cloud environments while real-time threat detection enhances risk management

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP flagged a misconfiguration in our AWS S3 bucket that had overly permissive access settings. That configuration could have exposed our sensitive data to the public internet. The platform not only identified the issue but also provided remediation that our team was able to apply immediately. This prevented a potential data exposure. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers a unified, modular platform that combines CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, code security, and cloud detection and response. The agentless workload posture, real-time threat detection and response, multi-cloud coverage and visibility, compliance automation, and one-click remediations stand out as its best features. I find myself relying on the risk management engine and prioritization the most day-to-day. In any cloud environment, you are flooded with findings, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps. Without prioritization, it is overwhelming for our team to take care of the posture. CloudGuard's risk scoring helps us cut through incidents. This makes remediation faster and focused instead of wasting time checking every alert. We get to fix the issues that pose real business risks. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has positively impacted our organization at a significant level. We get greater visibility and control across all our cloud environments. Some biggest benefits we have seen are faster detection and remediation of misconfigurations, improved compliance posture, reduced risk exposure, operational efficiency, and cost savings. Overall, it has made our cloud environment more secure, compliant, and easier to manage while freeing up our teams to focus on projects instead of chasing alerts.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment for IaaS and SaaS and a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce my workload by not having to combine multiple sources."

"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."

"The vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."

"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"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

"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has positively impacted our organization at a significant level—we get greater visibility and control across all our cloud environments, with faster detection and remediation of misconfigurations, improved compliance posture, reduced risk exposure, operational efficiency, and cost savings."

"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."

"On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us for this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures."

"The rulesets and the findings are valuable. The actual core functionality of it and the efficacy of events are great."

"The solution offers an excellent price, benefit, and installation relationship."

"It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment."

"The way they offer container security is a big highlight that I have noticed, and the solution is also agentless, so the scanning, runtime, really everything is offered directly by CloudGuard."

"The solution learns day by day, learning from behavior, attacks, management, detections, capturing packets, and performing real-time analysis while generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis, which allows us to move faster and have more efficient responses to incidents."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."

"The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities."

"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security."

"When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost."

"The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward."

"The UI has a lot of features."

Cons

"It has been working very well, but it would be helpful if the dashboard could generate reports tailored to specific compliance needs. For example, in India, we have to comply with RBI and SEBI guidelines. It w"

"Qualys TotalCloud needs to enhance its scanning capabilities in the IP domain, as it currently lacks the functionality to resolve IPs to their corresponding domain names."

"The cloud licensing unit system is unclear, especially since "units" aren't well-defined."

"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."

"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."

"To be honest, I would move out from this tool because it does not give a full view of vulnerability."

"It is already perfect, but they can bring some newer dashboards and customization options for the dashboard. It would be great to be able to include on-prem assets on the dashboard."

"Some major banks and insurance companies require an on-premises solution for comprehensive vulnerability management, which TotalCloud does not offer."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"Compliance checks on cloud resources against various industry standards and compliance framework templates need to be improved."

"The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation."

"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."

"The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there."

"The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use."

"It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications."

"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."

"I’d like to see more integration with third-party tools."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."

"The image-scanning features need improvement."

"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."

"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."

"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."

"Using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved."

"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."

"I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."

More SUSE NeuVector cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."

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

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."

"The price is on the higher end."

"I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."

"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is always known as a good solution but an expensive one. When you're using Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto, you know that you will pay more, but you know that it will work."

"The pricing is extremely competitive."

"Everything in this field is very expensive."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work."
