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.

Great for productivity checking and provides good reports
We use this solution for password encryption and remote access. We are customers of ARCON This solution is good for productivity checking and provides good reports.  We've had instances where some parameters have disappeared and that is frustrating. The automation needs to be improved.  We've…

Centralized risk-based workflows have reduced alert fatigue and improve on-time secure delivery
ArmorCode is a strong ASPM platform that provides centralized visibility and risk-based prioritization, and there are several areas where it could be enhanced to improve the user experience and increase adoption across development teams. Improvements could include more AI-powered remediation guidance, improved developer experience, enhanced predictive risk analysis, strong cloud-native visibility such as Kubernetes, custom reporting, and dashboards including custom risk scorecards, team-specific dashboards, and faster onboarding and setup of new security tools. Improvements could also include pre-built integration, automation, automated connector setup, guided onboarding, and better risk connection that assesses criticality, business impact, data sensitivity, and internet exposure. The most important improvements needed are strong cloud-native visibility, enhanced predictive risk analysis, adding AI-powered remediation guidance, and an improved developer experience. Predictive risk analysis is one area that needs enhancement. While ArmorCode is already excellent at centralizing security findings and prioritizing risk, these improvements could further reduce remediation time and make the platform even more valuable for both security and development teams. Enhancing AI-powered remediation guidance would improve developer experience. For AI-powered remediation guidance, instead of only identifying vulnerabilities, ArmorCode could provide detailed fix recommendations, secure code examples, root cause analysis, and automated remediation suggestions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"While automatic inventory detection upon connection is a helpful feature, a truly valuable capability would be assessing an environment's security posture against Azure and CIS best practices."
"Qualys TotalCloud has significantly improved our organization by automating our reporting processes, reducing the time spent on report creation from two hours to less than fifteen to twenty minutes."
"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"TotalCloud has been excellent in providing us with immediate access to all the products and features we need, such as CSPM, TruRisk Insights, and compliance reports, including CIS and HIPAA."
"The most valuable feature is the consolidated information that it provides from various platforms."
"It is very user friendly; there are not a lot of clicks and buttons, the tool helps me with the installations so the user can do the installation rather than having a technical guide, and I also like the browsing stream and its good dashboard."
"I would definitely advise anyone to look at it, it is a good product, quite stable and scalable, and for the requirements that we looked into, ARCON met the customer's needs."
"Good for productivity checking."
"The support for ARCON ARSIM is very good."
"The positive impact of ArmorCode on our organization includes improved vulnerability prioritization and better collaboration between security and development teams, as instead of discussing thousands of findings, we focus on critical risks, significantly reducing unnecessary effort and allowing the team to quickly identify high-risk vulnerabilities and assign remediation to application owners."
"ArmorCode is very effective software that reduces human effort and saves time, has a huge impact on the company's revenue and profit, and we deliver everything on time to the client because of ArmorCode."
 

Cons

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"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."
"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."
"In a future release, I suggest that zero-day vulnerabilities should be predicted in advance using AI technologies. The system is not 100% secure yet, so proactive threat hunting could be enhanced to be more proactive than the current system."
"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."
"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."
"Qualys's ticketing system can be confusing when assigning tasks to individuals, and support could be improved by offering instant call solutions with engineers in addition to ticket replies."
"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."
"The automation needs to be improved."
"As for what can be improved, definitely pricing. Customers look for pricing and ARCON is a little more expensive than Thycotic. So the pricing model could be improved."
"I would love to have all the products. Currently they have all the server operating systems and network operating systems but they should have all the other devices also included, like security devices. That's what I think is missing. They should also improve the license audit part. If I want to do a license audit from this tool, I'm not able to do it right now."
"I would like to see more AI-driven remediation recommendations, deeper contextual risk analysis, and additional workflow automation for the enterprise environment."
"Improvements could include more AI-powered remediation guidance, improved developer experience, enhanced predictive risk analysis, strong cloud-native visibility such as Kubernetes, custom reporting, and dashboards including custom risk scorecards, team-specific dashboards, and faster onboarding and setup of new security tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure about the pricing. From what I understand, it is a bit on the higher side, but I do not have the exact numbers."
"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."
"Although Qualys TotalCloud is relatively expensive due to its unique automation features, its cost-effectiveness is rated an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."
"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
