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.

Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.

Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were able to realize its benefits within 24 to 48 hours."
"The most valuable feature is the consolidated information that it provides from various platforms."
"The agent and agentless scanning in TotalCloud, particularly the FlexScan method, is incredibly valuable. With traditional scanning approaches, we had to give IP ranges and whitelist IPs. All that is now simplified. FlexScan requires minimal intervention, and after configuration, it automatically collects data and performs necessary scans."
"The dashboards are particularly valuable as they offer a comprehensive view of the environment, highlighting any misconfigurations."
"The scalability is good as well. I would rate it ten out of ten."
"Qualys TotalCloud fulfills all these needs."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."
"CSPM is currently the most used feature, and we are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs."
"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"Trivy is most valuable for its ability to scan all repository files and dependencies."
"I rate Trivy a nine out of ten."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
"What I find valuable is the ease of setup with Trivy, including pre-defined operators that require minimal configuration."
"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."
"Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."
"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."
"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."
"The areas in the solution that have room for improvement include the UI/UX design, which should be improved, and they should integrate more artificial intelligence into the product."
"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."
"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."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"The recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"The main area for improvement is in differentiating between OS and application-based vulnerabilities."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools. That would be my suggestion."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"Trivy's marketing and awareness need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."
"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."
"Its price seems higher compared to other tools, but it is worth it. If they could adjust the pricing and make it comparable with other tools, that would be great."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"It's an expensive product"
