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.

The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Early detection of vulnerabilities saves significant amount of time and effort
Veracode provides visibility into application status at every phase of development, as it's how we stitch it together, allowing us to introduce it at various phases to gain fast feedback. This capability increases the velocity in DevSecOps processes as developers receive feedback on vulnerabilities before committing, reducing the overall rework. It helps developers save time significantly. For instance, if I take a library and assume it's going to work until it reaches QA or UAT, where we find out there's a vulnerability, that can require extensive effort for code refactoring or redesigning; Veracode helps prevent that before the pull request is merged. Veracode impacts the overall security posture by maintaining data integrity, ensuring we are not exposed to threats from third-party libraries with known vulnerabilities. From my perspective as a SecDevOps evangelist, Veracode is crucial for an organization's shift-left security strategy. Veracode's SCA perspective offers tools that facilitate shift-left security by providing feedback before failures occur in the development process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its ability to link clusters of assets, providing a clear model of deployments, vulnerabilities, and statuses."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."
"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"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 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."
"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."
"I appreciate TotalCloud's real-time protection and remediation features. The remediation options include automated one-click remedies and custom changes that help manage vulnerabilities efficiently."
"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."
"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."
"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."
"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."
"When we expanded our definition of critical systems to include an internal application to be scanned by Veracode, we had initial scans that produced hundreds of vulnerabilities. We expected this, based on how the code was treated previously, but the Veracode platform allowed us to streamline our identification of these items and develop a game plan to quickly address them."
"It gives me an idea about the most important vulnerabilities and fast remediation tips."
"In terms of secure development, the SAST scan is very useful because we are able to identify security flaws in the code base itself, for the application."
"In my experience, Veracode is one of the most powerful tools available in the market from a security perspective. It is a market leader in source code analysis."
"I have used this solution in multiple projects for vulnerability testing and finding security leaks within the code."
"The product was great."
"Scanning of .war and .jar is key for us."
"The SCA, agent-based analysis, is valuable. SAST and DAST take time, while this is quite fast. It gives the results very quickly. We have implemented it into our CI/CD pipeline."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."
"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."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"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."
"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."
"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."
"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"The reporting functions can use improvement."
"I would like to see more AI features. It's a current subject because with ChatGPT and other solutions being developed all the time, IT attacks will increase... To defend against those it's very important that the good guys use AI in ways that are good instead of bad."
"The current version of the application does not support testing for API."
"The scanning process for records could be faster and there is room for improvement in Veracode's performance."
"On-premise implementation is not available."
"An area for improvement I found in Veracode is the connectivity because currently, my company uses a plugin for the dev-ops cloud-based connectivity. A pretty helpful feature would be if Veracode gives a direct code for connecting to the Oracle server directly and authenticating it via a unique server."
"While Veracode is way ahead of its competitors on Gartner Magic Quadrant, it's a bit more expensive than Fortify."
"Veracode Static Analysis lacks penetration testing, so that's a concern. The tool is also unable to scan when it's a C or C++ model, so that's another area for improvement."
"There are many times when their product goes to check my code and it dies, and I don't know why. I've contacted support and they're not really helpful with this particular problem. I go to the logs and I look at what I can but I can't tell why the check process has essentially just died in the middle of checking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."
"I believe the price compares well within the market."
"The product was expensive for us."
"The price of Veracode Static Analysis is expensive. There is an annual fee to use the solution and the company is upfront with the pricing model and fees."
"Pricing-wise, I find it a bit expensive because it's based on the number of users requesting access to Veracode."
"Regarding licensing, pay very close attention to what applications you're going to need to do dynamic scanning for, versus static. Right now, the way the licensing is set up, if you don't have any static elements for a website, you can certainly avoid some costs by doing more dynamic licenses. You need to pay very close attention to that, because if you find out later that you have static code elements - like Java scripts, etc. - that you want to have scanned statically, having the two licenses bundled together will actually save you money."
"The cost of scanning code is cheaper. It's typically $0.50 per line of code. However, it's expensive to run a high-level process that would normally require a human security expert. For example, penetration testing costs about $1,000 per application for penetration testing. The cost of these features may be too high for smaller organizations. On the other hand, Veracode's interactive application security testing is fast and cheaper compared to other software."
"Veracode is affordable for large organizations, but its pricing may be out of reach for small and medium companies."
"The cost of Veracode is high."
"They just changed their pricing model two weeks ago. They went from a per-app license to a per-megabyte license. I know that the dynamic scan was $500 per app. Static analysis was about $4500 yearly. The license is only for the number of users, it doesn't matter what data you put in there. That was the old model. I do not know how the new model works."
"For our company, the price is reasonable for the benefits that we get."
