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.

Continuous validation has transformed our SOC and now proves control effectiveness with evidence
Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations. The breach and attack simulation that supports testing, prevention, detection, and response is a key feature for me, as is the ongoing exposure management, rather than a one-time security assessment. AttackIQ's reporting helps translate technical findings into actionable remediation steps, which are easy to understand. The continuous validation of security controls through repeatable attack simulations is a massive advantage for me. Once properly implemented, AttackIQ becomes a valuable part of a continuous validation program. The one feature I rely on the most from AttackIQ is specifically the continuous validation of security controls through repeatable attack simulations. From the reporting that stands out, once you have the report, the translation from a technical finding perspective and how they align with actionable remediation steps is easy to understand, which helps significantly. From a SOC perspective, AttackIQ running in our SOC is a solid enterprise-grade platform delivering genuine operational value. The biggest strength for me is the realism, its alignment with all the compliance situations we might have, and the ability to continuously validate control effectiveness. By doing that, we can continuously provide feedback to our customers to ensure they are running the best of breed for their security posture and environment. AttackIQ is best viewed as a tool that helps a SOC move from assumption-based security to evidence-based security, while providing reporting that can easily be communicated in layman's terms to your customer base. It is most effective for teams that want to prove their controls work, identify gaps early, and continuously improve rather than just rely on periodic testing alone.

Unified cloud visibility has simplified compliance reporting and improved incident response
Regarding performance and speed scenarios for JupiterOne, queries sometimes take too long, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex graph relationships that can slow down significantly. There is also a steep learning curve, as J1QL, their query language, is powerful but requires time to learn. New users struggle initially, and better onboarding tutorials are needed. Rate limiting issues can be frustrating, as API rate limits sometimes cause problems. Price transparency for JupiterOne is an area for improvement. The price is not publicly listed, so you have to contact sales for smaller teams or startups, which becomes a barrier. Another issue is alert noise, as sometimes too many alerts are generated. Better filtering and prioritization are needed so that critical issues do not get lost. JupiterOne is very good when compared to other cloud asset platforms overall.

"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."
"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 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."
"Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations."
"AttackIQ is solving a lot of the problems that I had before or that we as an organization had before, even the security team, so it is solving all my issues."
"AttackIQ has had a positive impact on the organization, especially in the areas of continuous security validation, detection improvement, and overall defensive readiness, with highlights including improved visibility into detection gaps, stronger security controls validation, better SOC readiness, and faster detection engineering improvements, which are improvement areas we have implemented in our project using AttackIQ."
"After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things."
"AttackIQ has improved my security posture by validating security controls, identifying detection gaps, and increasing confidence in my detection and response capabilities."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"The product’s UI is pretty decent and fast."

Cons

"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."
"The price is very expensive, actually."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"In terms of improvement, remediation still belongs to the cloud team, which is one of the issues we faced with Qualys TotalCloud."
"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."
"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."
"I would appreciate deeper integrations with security tools. AI-assisted remediations and recommendations would be helpful."
"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"One area for improvement is the initial configuration complexity, which is very complex in the initial stage to configure the whole thing and integrate with the SOC, presenting a learning curve for organizations that are new to adversary emulation or continuous security validation, particularly concerning the initial setup scenario customization and workflow tuning."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"There is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams that are quite new to a BAS or continuous validation solution."
"The customer support for AttackIQ is good but can be better."
"You can only write Python queries in Jupiter, not other languages, like, SQL or PySpark."
"However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use."
"Regarding performance and speed scenarios for JupiterOne, queries sometimes take too long, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex graph relationships that can slow down significantly."
"JupiterOne could improve regarding the cost, as enterprise deployment can be costly."
