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.

Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Tool consistently aids in effective threat detection and monitoring but could benefit from improved log source management and resource optimization

One major area for improvement in LogRhythm SIEM is the lack of volume measurement capability in terms of storage. There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments. This information is crucial for planning future storage needs and scalability. The system monitor (collector) agent has issues with resource consumption. Even when not actively collecting data, the agent continues to consume significant CPU and memory resources, which can be particularly problematic for small business environments with limited resources. LogRhythm SIEM could improve by adding more default device support. While they have good default settings for devices such as Palo Alto firewalls, custom log sources often require extensive work. Increasing the number of supported devices with built-in policies and functionality would reduce the need for custom work. Competitive SIEM tools often provide more comprehensive coverage for various devices and vendors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud fulfills all these needs."

"TotalCloud's best feature is the integration of cloud accounts. It helps with the risk and security posture management of our cloud infrastructure."

"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."

"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."

"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."

"Qualys TotalCloud has significantly reduced our workload in terms of managing risks, helping us to be more efficient and save substantial resources."

"TotalCloud offers a comprehensive suite of features, including EDR, XDR, and TrueRisk, providing a centralized platform for managing vulnerabilities and security risks."

"The best features in Qualys TotalCloud include the total asset management of the cloud environment. It is very easy to export the report and see the vulnerabilities related to the cloud specifically."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"Though I'm still in the initial evaluation phase for AWS Security Hub, I would recommend it to others because it has good features."

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

"AWS Security Hub brings many features into one table that is quite useful, and the app team finds it easier to see what is missing."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."

"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."

"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"AWS Security Hub has very good integration features. It allows for AWS native services integration, and it helps us to integrate some of the services outside of AWS. They have partners, such as Amazon Preferred Network Partners (APN). If you have different security tools around APN, we can integrate those findings with AWS Security Hub reducing the need to refer to different portals or different UIs. You can have AWS Security Hub act as a single common go-to dashboard."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"We integrated Azure logs with it and that makes it simpler. Rather than having to log into the portal, we can just check everything in one place. We can compare those to our Windows and host logs to see if any problems correlate between them."

"Mostly for us the most valuable feature is its aggregation of all the logs into a single platform, and then doing the real-time monitoring based on that."

"LogRhythm has absolutely helped improve the security of our organization."

"Overall, my rating for LogRhythm SIEM is nine out of ten."

"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."

"LogRhythm's correlation capabilities (part of the AIE component) is much better than Splunk's, and the solution as a whole is generally cheaper and easier to implement than ArcSight."

"Now it pulls it all into one spot and we're actually able to correlate data and say, "Hey look, this person's really actually being shady," and go from there."

"It is stable; there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze, so it's reliable and the performance is good."

More LogRhythm SIEM pros

Cons

"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."

"Qualys' customer service provides quality answers, but the response time is long, even though it is within the SLA."

"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."

"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."

"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."

"Qualys TotalCloud's increasing complexity, due to the development and deployment of multiple solutions, is making the GUI difficult to navigate."

"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."

"Right now, there are some difficulties we're facing with AWS Security Hub, and we need our central team to mitigate the issues."

"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"I would like the log management database to perform more efficiently."

"Their ticketing system for managing cases can be improved. They can either do that or adopt some of the open-source ticket systems into theirs. The current system works and gets the job done, but it is very bare-bones and basic. There are some things that could be improved there. They should also bring in more threat intelligence into the product and also probably start to look into the integration of more cloud or SAS products for ingesting logs. They're doing the work, but with the explosion of COVID, a lot of businesses have started to move towards more cloud applications or SAS applications. There is a whole diverse suite of SAS products out there, which is a challenge for them and I get it. They seem to be focusing on the big ones, but it'll be nice to be able to, for example, pull in Microsoft logs from Office 365. They are working towards a better way of doing that, and they have a product in the pipeline to pull logs in from other SAS applications. The biggest thing for them is going to be moving away from a Windows Server infrastructure into a straight-up Linux, which is more stable in my eyes. For the backend, they can maybe move into more of an up-to-date Elastic search engine and use less of Microsoft products."

"We have a lot of alarms that get overlooked, there's not a lot of prominence to them."

"At times it gets a little clunky, or resource-intensive, but it works."

"In the next release, I would certainly like to see more HIPAA compliance."

"It will definitely help if the parsing side would be much easier, meaning it would be better if we could easily make adjustments on the parser, both on standard and non-standard log sources."

"Only area I can think of to improve on is the proof reading and using the guides before releasing them."

"It’s very easy to overwhelm the system. I have some of the beefiest data that they provide, and I can still overrun the system."

More LogRhythm SIEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."

"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."

"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."

"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."

"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"I give the price a six out of ten."

"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."

"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."

"When it comes time to renew, they say, "This is what you are using. This is what we can do for you." So, they work with you on pricing."

"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats. As it comes out new features and new releases, the window is becoming a lot narrower because you can pivot a lot more with the data. Therefore, the new features and enhancements are reducing that."

"The setup and licensing for small and medium size businesses is straightforward, though when it comes to the enterprise it pays to keep in mind the possibility for complications given all the extras and add-ons that may be required."

"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."

"It costs a great amount, but its pricing is competitive with some of the other vendors. For licensing and support, we pay about 20,000. There are no additional costs or anything like that."
