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.

DevSecOps Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Has supported compliance and threat detection but suffers from poor user experience and CI integration
I would assess the integration of JFrog Xray with CI/CD tools as the weak point. You have two means to do that: one is using the API, or the other is using the command line from JFrog. That part is a bit of a sensitive topic because somehow you need to adapt your GitLab pipeline and turn them into JFrog pipeline, and this is something they don't really advertise at first—you're obliged to use the JFrog CLI. Apart from this integration aspect, JFrog Xray does the job, but the user experience is not very good. The documentation is really poor. It's not the design; it's not user-friendly at all. You can't find the items in the menus. I think the UI needs improvement. It's not user-friendly, but it works very effectively. Regarding the metrics and dashboards in JFrog Xray, the dashboard is fine, but it's about how you share that dashboard—you need extra permission. You can say each project can have its own dashboard and is responsible for the mistakes or the level of security they want, or you can have a person dedicated to security. At the moment, it's more a permission issue—how you set the permission properly, how do you give access to the dashboard or delegate. This needs improvement.

Cloud risk visibility has transformed how I prioritize threats and reduce unnecessary spend
From my perspective, Orca Security is a really good tool. I would say one area I would like to see CNAPP platforms get is more intelligence when it comes to risk prioritization, which correlates with vulnerability, exposing assets, identities, and active threats to help the security team focus on risks that are more likely to be exploited. I am a huge advocate for automation. I also think deeper automation for remediation or stronger integration with ticketing and CI/CD pipelines or more customization would help. Executive reporting would help the security team respond significantly faster and communicate risk more effectively if those kinds of improvements are made.
