Risk-based visibility has transformed how I prioritize cloud vulnerabilities and protect key assets
The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers are cloud asset visibility, vulnerability assessment, and risk prioritization. This risk-based prioritization helped me quickly identify high-risk vulnerabilities and focus on remediation instead of going through every finding. TrueRisk-based prioritization is useful for understanding which vulnerabilities need attention first. It improved our workflow mainly by giving us a single view of cloud assets and their risk, so we could focus on the higher priority vulnerabilities instead of reviewing every finding manually. This helped us prioritize remediations more efficiently and reduce the time spent on vulnerability assessment and follow-up. Qualys TotalCloud helped us identify exposures that might otherwise have been missed, especially across cloud assets, vulnerabilities, and identities. With the SaaS configuration, the unified inventory and risk view made it easier to connect vulnerabilities with asset criticality, exposure, and access permissions, allowing us to investigate high-risk exposures first and address them before they could become bigger security issues.

Network visibility has transformed migrations and now drives proactive threat hunting
In terms of improvement, I have found sometimes ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 duplicates data a bit because it basically spans the data information from the sources within the network, so sometimes it's very hard to correlate data because it sometimes gets multiple feeds. I would to say that it needs to have some sort of internal check to validate data rather than duplicating from multiple sources so that we don't have to manually correct the source of truth.Plus, I think I would like to see continued improvements in AI-assisted threat hunting and natural language queries so the analysts can move from high-level detection to the relevant user, device, application, and network evidence with fewer manual pivots. Making advanced features easier for less experienced analysts to use would help organizations to get more value from the platforms. I would like to add one more thing: if we could have more customization of dashboards and role-based views, stronger out-of-the-box correlations with SIEM, EDR, and identity platforms, and maybe further automation of investigation response workflows, that will be great.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest strengths of Qualys TotalCloud are that it is pretty good at cloud visibility, has easy integration, and also has multi-cloud compatibility."
"One of Qualys' best features is its categorization, which allows us to see the types of assets, their security postures, and the AI-powered version of the tool."
"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."
"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our organization by helping us save time and manage all assets and remediation, allowing us to achieve quarterly and half-yearly goals."
"Once you have your vulnerabilities fixed and your patches pushed out using Qualys TotalCloud, then you are able to eliminate threats and cyber risk."
"The scalability is good as well. I would rate it ten out of ten."
"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."
"Their technical support is more effective and of better quality than other competitors."
"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."
"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 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."
"In terms of workload and pinpointing issues, ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has helped us a lot and made our life as network Level 3 support easier."
"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."
"It is scalable."
"Wiz has positively impacted my organization by implementing zero trust authorization, providing good reporting that shows the top attack path, critical assets, overall risk posture, and demonstrating AI and ML workload capabilities towards my team, as well as good infrastructure detection and vulnerability detection accuracy with security posture management at massive scale and identity exposure."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"The biggest impact Wiz has had on our organization is improved visibility and better prioritization, as previously mentioned."
"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that the compliance and CSPM aspects of this cloud-native application protection offering are genuinely better than other products available in the market."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."
"Wiz has helped my organization achieve zero criticals in its issue queues after a month."
"Wiz has positively impacted my organization by stopping security incidents, giving us full visibility in our cloud environments, and providing us with the confidence that we can use the tool not just for security but also for operations tooling, DevOps, code scanning, and all of the above."
 

Cons

"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."
"The main area needing improvement is integration. Although the team is strengthening TotalCloud, integration can be enhanced with SIEM, SOAR, ITSM, and other sources."
"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."
"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."
"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."
"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."
"Regarding improvements to Qualys TotalCloud, I suggest that user navigation can be enhanced because initially, many users found it complicated and had trouble understanding the platform due to information being spread across multiple tabs."
"There needs to be more support."
"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."
"I would like to see ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 improved by integrating XDR features with NDR."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, I have found sometimes ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 duplicates data a bit because it basically spans the data information from the sources within the network, so sometimes it's very hard to correlate data because it sometimes gets multiple feeds."
"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."
"I have seen some lagging or downtime a couple of times, but I am not sure why it happened."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"Wiz is not agnostic compared to other competitors in the market. If you want to add a new integration to another platform, it does not have an easy plug-and-play option for whatever platform."
"I choose eight out of ten because there is always room for improvement."
"Sometimes it is a very big concern and a big headache for the customer because it finds a lot of findings that could be false positives."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"It would be better if, when you get an alert type, you are able to view the regex or alert logic without having to dig through all the different options; it is difficult to find where the alert logic is because you have to go to the investigations and then actually find and search for the individual alert."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the market rate, but the value it provides is more valuable than the pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other solutions, it aligns with the market average, indicating a competitive pricing level."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
