Qualys TotalCloud Reviews

We use Qualys TotalCloud for compliance monitoring and compliance checking.

TotalCloud provides written explanations to help guide remediation paths and eliminate cyber risk. It is very satisfactory.

I could see its benefits immediately after the deployment. I was using another product, and I was trying to switch over to this product.

TruRisk Insights provides a good view of the situation from different perspectives, such as the policy compliance side, the vulnerability side, and a few others. It gives us a better view of what is going on versus just piecemeal from one UI to another and then trying to make sense and sorting things or combining data together.

TruRisk Insights feature found a small number of assets with high vulnerability scores. I reported them to the owner, and then they are going to work on it.

TruRisk Insights are a good indicator, but long term, the managers still want to use the ServiceNow integration. We have this in our back pocket to verify.

The most valuable feature is the extensibility. I can create custom controls and rely on Qualys TotalCloud to provide me with updated controls as they come from CS benchmarks.

I have already put in a few feature requests. There are features that I would like to have. 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. 

Additionally, I would like the ability to generate reports on a schedule and send them via email to the scheduler. 

It is a bit cumbersome to apply some of the features built into policy compliance.

TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, but it can be better. I was hoping that they would integrate TruRisk into it, but that is forthcoming. I have already put in the request a while back to add TruRisk, and they are working on it.

I have been using the solution for around two years.

I have not seen any events like lagging, crashing, or downtime.

It is very scalable, and I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.

I usually do not have to contact support. I last contacted them a month or two months ago. They usually respond within 48 hours. I can always escalate as needed. It is not an issue. Overall, their support is top-notch.

Positive

I used Dome9 which is under Check Point. I switched to TotalCloud because of better extensibility.

We had some challenges with permissions, but other than that, it was fine. Its implementation took about 60 days.

It requires maintenance on our end. We need to maintain the permissions and the connections to whatever AWS accounts we need to have scanned.

We had an in-house team involved along with Qualys support. Three people were required for the deployment.

The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription.

New users should have a deeper understanding of how to use the cloud API because the extensibility is based on that. If they do not understand how to use the API, it would not be effective for them.

TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IaaS and SaaS, but we do not use that. We do not have a use case for that.

I would rate TotalCloud an eight out of ten.

We utilize Qualys TotalCloud to conduct DNS, IP, and WOS scans and identify system vulnerabilities.

Qualys TotalCloud helps identify vulnerabilities by providing written explanations to help guide remediation paths and eliminate cyber risk.

The explanations are great compared to the visualizations of attack paths.

The benefits of Qualys TotalCloud are significant. It lists all vulnerabilities, allowing us to patch them effectively. This safeguards the entire company and its environment, offering comprehensive protection.

Qualys TotalCloud provides a single prioritized view of risk.

Qualys TotalCloud has saved us 30 to 40 percent of time and costs.

The TrueRisk Insights feature helps us keep our environment safe and to mitigate vulnerabilities.

TrueRisk Insights found a smaller number of assets with high vulnerability scores.

Using information from TrueRisk Insights, we informed our clients about vulnerabilities and immediately resolved them.

Qualys TotalCloud is convenient, and we can perform scans with it. Its excellent graphical interface makes the scanning process simple.

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.

I have been using Qualys TotalCloud for one year.

I would rate the stability of Qualys TotalCloud eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Qualys TotalCloud eight out of ten.

We spent a couple of hours explaining an issue to the technical support and did not receive a proper resolution.

Neutral

We previously used Qualys PCI DSS.

Qualys TotalCloud has significantly saved us time and resources. It is doing the work of three people.

Qualys TotalCloud is expensive.

I would rate Qualys TotalCloud eight out of ten.

Qualys TotalCloud is deployed in one location, and we have two users.

No maintenance is required.

I recommend Qualys TotalCloud to others. It helps identify vulnerabilities present in the system and simplifies our work.
