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.

Unified visibility has transformed threat detection and performance troubleshooting across environments

ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is very powerful, and there is always room for improvement. One area is more customizable dashboards and reporting for executives, with more business-level reporting. Second, deeper native integrations with SOAR and ticketing tools to automate response even faster. Third, cost optimizations for SMBs, making some premium features more accessible would help wider adoption. From a consultant's perspective, a few enhancements could make ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 even stronger. First, usability, with more intuitive, guided workflows and contextual AI assist for junior analysts to reduce the learning curve. Second, onboarding with more pre-built use case templates for healthcare, finance, and other industries to speed up time-to-value. Third, support and enablement with more granular role-based access and better in-product documentation for faster troubleshooting. These are not gaps, but opportunities to make an already powerful platform even more user-friendly and scalable.

SecOps program for us, as a smaller company, is amazing; they know what to look for

They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter. Even as part of the SecOps Program, that could be helpful; a quick analysis. They're analyzing our whole infrastructure and saying, "You have one VPC and that doesn't make a lot of sense, that should be multiple VPCs and here's why." The architecture of the servers in whatever cloud-hosting provider you're on could be helpful. Other than that, they should continue to expand on their notifications and on what's a vulnerability. They do a great job of that and we want them to continue to do that. It would be cool, since the agent is already deployed and they know about the server, they know the IP address, and they know what vulnerability is there, for them to test the vulnerability and see if they can actually exploit it. Or, once we patch it, they could double-check that it can't be. I don't know how hard that would be to build. Thinking on it off the top off my head, it could be a little challenging but it could also be highly interesting. It would also be great if we could test a couple of other features like hammering a server with 100 login attempts and see what happens. Real test scenarios could be really helpful. That is probably more something close to what they do with the SOC 2 audit or the report. But more visualization of that, being able to test things out on our infrastructure to make sure we can or can't hit this box could be interesting.

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

Pros

"If someone were to ask me to review Qualys TotalCloud, I would summarize it as an end-to-end solution for cloud security with visibility and governance-grade controls without needing to manage multiple disconnected tools."

"Qualys TotalCloud helps you not just to identify misconfigurations, but you can actually also fix issues."

"Qualys TotalCloud has helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."

"I would definitely recommend it because it is easy to handle any cloud resources."

"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."

"One of the features I appreciate is the ability to generate daily reports without relying on anyone else."

"The biggest strengths of Qualys TotalCloud are that it is pretty good at cloud visibility, has easy integration, and also has multi-cloud compatibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"It is very easy to collect and handle data in ExtraHop Reveal(X) Cloud. Integration with Big Data is also easy. Many of our customers integrate it with Big Data platforms like Splunk or Elastic. It is also easy to handle and easy to understand."

"Overall, I use it as a single 360-degree platform for visibility across on-prem and cloud."

"It stands out for its intuitive and efficient user interface, robust detection capabilities with minimal false positives, and the ability to handle encrypted traffic, making it a valuable asset for network security and management."

"It is scalable."

"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments."

"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has positively impacted my organization by helping us detect abnormal activity on our network that we could not detect through our SIEM or XDR platform."

"Their technical support is more effective and of better quality than other competitors."

"We find the licensing and pricing very easy to understand and a good value for the services provided."

"Threat Stack has connectivity."

"We're using it on container to see when activity involving executables happens, and that's great."

"We like the ability of the host security module to monitor the processes running on our servers to help us monitor activity."

"The rules are really great. They give us more visibility and control over what's being triggered. There's a large set of rules that come out-of-the-box. We can customize them and we can create our own rules based on the traffic patterns that we see."

"It is a fantastic tool that gives us a level of comfort knowing that there is not only something that's watching, something that can alert and detect, but also knowing that there's an outsourced operation center that can be an auxiliary part of our security team."

"There has been a measurable decrease in the meantime to remediation... because we have so many different tech verticals already collated in one place, our ability to respond is drastically different than it used to be."

"The number-one feature is the monitoring of interactive sessions on our Linux machines. We run an immutable environment, so that nothing is allowed to be changed in production... We're constantly monitoring to make sure that no one is violating that. Threat Stack is what allows us to do that."

Cons

"In TotalCloud, I would suggest improvements in policy checks to cater to various inventory types like VPCs, subnets, S3 buckets, or IAMs. There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."

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

"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."

"I would like the ability to disable certain default built-in policies as they can be misleading when creating dashboards. That is the top one."

"TotalCloud could improve the classification of vulnerabilities. Specifically, it could enhance the categorization of what aspects fall under patches resolved by OS or software updates and what pertains to configuration adjustments."

"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"

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

"Their support could be improved."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"One challenge with ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is its pricing, which tends to be comparatively high in the marketplace."

"Their professional service can be improved."

"I would like to see ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 improved by integrating XDR features with NDR."

"There needs to be more support."

"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."

"They can include integration with SAP. Currently, no vendor provides network performance monitoring in the SAP market. It is a very big market. We have around 400 customers for SAP in Korea. In the USA, there are more than 10,000 customers."

"The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great."

"The solution’s ability to consume alerts and data in third-party tools (via APIs and export into S3 buckets) is moderate. They have some work to do in that area... The API does not mimic the features of the UI as far as reporting and pulling data out go. There's a big discrepancy there."

"It's too expensive, but I'm always going to say that. It is very expensive compared to some other products."

"Some features do not work as expected."

"The compliance and governance need improvement."

"They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective."

"The reports aren't very good. We've automated the report generation via the API and replaced almost all the reports that they generate for us using API calls instead."

"They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups.

I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter."
