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

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

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its cloud security posture management, Kubernetes, and container security capabilities."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud is an excellent platform, and the beauty of the platform is that we can get all the vulnerabilities, see all the reports in a single dashboard, view them segregated, and easily learn about critical, high, and medium findings with appropriately provided remediation steps."

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view based on requirements such as identifying the most vulnerable assets and calculating the average time to remediate vulnerabilities."

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

"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."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently."

"The reporting is quite good; it is the most powerful aspect of this solution and it's user-friendly."

"I love the work involved in maintaining and scaling security services and configurations across multiple public clouds using this solution, versus using native native cloud security controls. It is so much better. The different cloud platforms all have their own way that they handle a lot of the stuff that Dome9 handles. Even within their platform, they are in a lot of disparate places, e.g., in AWS, there are five different tools. You have to jump between them to get the same information that you can just pull in automatically on Dome9, which is just one platform. We are using multiple platforms, so that makes it even more complicated and time consuming if you had to just rely on them to get all of your information. Whereas, it's all just summarized and put together on the Dome9 end."

"The CDR helps detect anomalous behavior and respond to threats before they become an issue."

"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver."

"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."

"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."

"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."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

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

"The UI has a lot of features."

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

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

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

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

Cons

"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."

"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."

"There is room for improvement in the support."

"The vulnerability part is good, but the policy compliance module needs improvement because it involves a lot of manual work. Specifically, the remediation part of the controls requires enhancements."

"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."

"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."

"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."

"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"Every now and then, we feel that their team's training and orientation process on orienting the clients and partners is low and needs to be strengthened so that every single individual is completely aware and informed of the features and their utilities."

"Automatic remediation requires read/write access. When providing read/write access to third-party applications, this can add risk. It should have some options of triggering API calls to the cloud platform, which in turn, can make the required changes."

"Sometimes, the solution provides us with false alerts of vulnerabilities that are not present in our cloud environment."

"Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management."

"There are opportunities for improvement that can be addressed through a roadmap."

"The shift left part is not yet at a maturity level I desire. I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle."

"The false positives can be annoying at times."

"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"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."

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

"The image-scanning features need improvement."

"The documentation needs to improve a bit."

"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."

"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."

"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."

"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."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"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."

"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."

"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."

"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."

"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."

"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."

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

"The license fee is high."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."

"SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution."

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

"The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support."
