Automox and Qualys TotalCloud compete in IT security and management. Qualys TotalCloud has the upper hand due to its extensive feature set and substantial security capabilities.
Features: Automox offers effective automated patch management, real-time monitoring, and cross-platform support. Qualys TotalCloud delivers robust cloud workload protection, integrated compliance management, and a comprehensive vulnerability management suite.
Room for Improvement: Automox could enhance its features for handling larger environments, increase integration options, and provide deeper security analytics. Qualys TotalCloud could improve its deployment speed, reduce complexity in configurations, and optimize resource requirements for smoother integration.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Automox is known for its cloud-native, intuitive deployment and responsive customer support. Qualys TotalCloud, while backed by extensive documentation and reliable assistance, may require more time for integration due to its comprehensive capabilities.
Pricing and ROI: Automox is noted for cost-effective pricing and clear ROI with less manual effort. Qualys TotalCloud has a higher initial cost but offers substantial ROI through its security and compliance features, making it suitable for security-critical deployments.
It is a cloud-based solution, so you do not need on-premises infrastructure, which saves hardware.
It has also been a great tool because we are able to reduce both manual labor and operational expenses by automating patching of roughly 200 Windows servers.
Offered an additional remote solution, all while saving a lot of time and cost through troubleshooting.
It has saved about 90% of our time.
TotalCloud has generated overall savings of 30 to 40 percent across various departments.
CallStream helps us integrate and automate tasks.
They are really good because they don't take five days to get back to me; they respond within 24 hours with really good information.
They're very knowledgeable and have given us many channels for support, including email, chat, and documentation.
The customer support has been excellent as the support team is always responsive and proactive.
They are helpful, respond to my queries, and can answer any question.
Qualys's tech support is highly responsive, providing multiple ways to interact with them.
Qualys' customer service provides quality answers, but the response time is long, even though it is within the SLA.
It's pretty easy to scale because it's SaaS, and adding more devices doesn't require any extra server or anything similar.
Automox scalability is excellent because it caters to my organization needs and can handle our organizational needs, ensuring that all our devices are well patched.
Automox's scalability is excellent as it has continued to grow with my organization and caters to my organization's needs.
We started our organization about nine months back. We started with about 30 users, and we now have more than 100 users.
Our organization currently uses it to manage over 1200 web applications.
It is absolutely scalable, and I would rate its scalability as nine out of ten.
It's not crashing or experiencing any downtime.
I have not experienced any lagging or downtime
I can confirm that Automox is very stable.
Overall, the support provided has been excellent.
It is a stable solution, which is why we chose it.
Continuous monitoring is crucial to ensure system stability and avoid vulnerabilities or threats.
Anything that can predict imminent failure of the device would be great.
An alert of a security threat could be another type of notification that tells me something is important.
The integration is seamless.
Ideally, the scanner should automatically detect and scan all subdomains, even if not explicitly defined, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
Ideally, updates should be more immediate, enabling quicker implementation of solutions.
Our goal is to integrate all these functions into Qualys, creating a single dashboard for comprehensive security monitoring and management.
Cost reduction has been noticeable, ranging from 50% to 40%, especially because we do not have to travel from one place to another to go on site and troubleshoot devices.
Automox's price is very cost-effective and affordable.
the price has always been competitive and very cost-effective
Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive.
Pricing is managed by our finance team; however, Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility.
Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches.
One of the best features I appreciate about Automox is automated patching.
Automox allows me to patch all devices regardless of the operating system.
It has also improved our security posture since automated patching has allowed vulnerabilities to be patched automatically.
This view of risk helps reduce the work we would have to do to combine multiple sources to prioritize risk.
It will help cybersecurity professionals monitor the cloud and find vulnerabilities.
We are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs.

TotalCloud is the Qualys approach to Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) for cloud infrastructure and SaaS environments. With TotalCloud, customers extend TruRisk insights (transparent cyber risk scoring methodology) from the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to their cloud environments allowing for a seamless unified view of cyber risk across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
Features and capabilities of Qualys TotalCloud include, but are not limited to:
Discover: Complete visibility and insights into cyber-risk exposure across multi-cloud. Continuously discover and monitor all your workloads across a multi-cloud environment for a 360-degree view of your cloud footprint. Identify known and previously unknown internet-facing assets for 100% visibility and tracking of risks.
Assess: Comprehensive cloud-native assessments with FlexScanTM. Extensive scanning capabilities with Qualys FlexScan, including no-touch, agentless, API- and snapshot-based scanning, along with agent- and network-based scanning for in-depth assessment. Use these multiple scanning methods to scan a workload to get a unified and comprehensive view of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Prioritize: Unified security view to prioritize cloud risk with TruRiskTM. Experience a unified risk-based view of cloud security with insights across workloads, services, and resources. Qualys TruRisk quantifies security risk by workload criticality and vulnerabilities; it correlates with ransomware, malware, and exploitation threat intelligence to prioritize, trace, and reduce risk.
Defend: Real-time protection against evolving and unknown threats with InstaProtectTM. Qualys enables continuous monitoring of all cloud assets to ensure they are protected against threats and attacks at runtime. Qualys keeps your cloud runtime safe by detecting known and unknown threats across the entire kill chain in near real-time across a multi-cloud environment.
