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 network mapping feature for visualizing container communication but complex setup
There is room for improvement in the setup process. All these tools come down to how you're integrating into your environment and having good knowledge of the tool. So that's the biggest problem with all these security tools – you gotta have knowledgeable people to build, integrate, and really flesh them out in your environment to make them work as they should.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."
"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"Its dashboards are brilliant. It provides in-depth insights."
"TotalCloud provides the easiest and the best approach for cloud infrastructure management."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."
"With TotalCloud, we can scan through the API. If we are not able to deploy cloud agents on the machine, we can use the API."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring feature."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features I found was the ability of this solution to map the network and show you the communication between your containers and your different nodes."
"I am impressed with the tool's visibility."
"The most beneficial security feature of the product revolves around the areas of vulnerability and configuration."
"The technical support is good."
"It is easy to install and manage."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share resources."
"Since we have installed the program, we have had no intrusions at all."
"Trend Micro Deep Security protected us from a ransomware attack two months ago."
"The most valuable feature for us is moving the AV scanning engine to the hypervisor and removing it from the virtual machine."
"Automated virtual patching would be the most valuable feature."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is an advanced threat protection product that helps our servers prevent upcoming attacks and also logs inspections and firewall preventions, helping our servers in daily life by protecting them from advanced cyber attacks."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"Virtual patching stands out as the best feature Trend Micro Deep Security offers, allowing us to virtually patch servers without downtime, which is critical given our limited patching windows, and helps prevent servers from being exploited."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in vulnerability scanning, particularly for PaaS environments. Currently, Qualys does not have full access to these instances, which limits its effectiveness."
"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."
"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."
"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."
"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."
"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations. This shortcoming means we must rely on SCCM when any service stack updates or additional prerequisites are needed."
"The deprecation of APIs is a concern since the deprecation of APIs will cause issues for us every time we upgrade."
"The support and specifications need to be up to date for the cluster technologies"
"The tool's command line and configuration are hard for us to understand and make deployment complex. It should also include zero trust, access control features and database connectivity."
"The solution lacks features when compared to some of the competitors such as Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and has room for improvement."
"They're trying to convert it to the platform as a source. They are moving in the direction of Cloud Foundry so it can be easier for a developer to deploy it."
"The initial setup is pretty complex. There's a learning curve, and its cost varies across different environments. It's difficult."
"The solution's visibility and vulnerability prevention should be improved."
"Red Hat is somewhat expensive."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"In the solution, servers often go offline for various reasons, requiring us to manually check the cause or issue, such as connectivity issues, and to find out why the agent went offline."
"It would help if they would reduce the price."
"The solution is difficult to set up, maintain, and manage. It's not very user-friendly."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
"We want to see improved authentication."
