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.

A highly scalable and straightforward solution with a knowledgeable support team

We work on a third-party shared environment. It wouldn’t have been feasible for a smaller company. My company was actually the first one to do it. Just like any cloud security, it pays to do your research and have complimentary security involved. The product can’t be the be-all and end-all tool for your security. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Automated cloud insights have transformed compliance monitoring and reduced audit preparation time

Regarding the advantages of JupiterOne, the automated asset discovery, graph-based visualizations, and compliance mapping against SOC 2 and ISO 27001 policy management with pre-built templates are standout features. The J1QL query language for custom security queries, alerting for misconfigurations, and integrations with AWS, GitHub, Okta, and CloudTrail are also valuable. The graph-based querying is underrated. Most people think of it as just an asset inventory tool, but the ability to query relationships between assets and understand what is connected to what in an automated compliance context is truly powerful once the team becomes comfortable with it. The impact is much better visibility into cloud security posture than I had before. My security team has spent less time manually hunting for information and more time actually acting on risk. The query capability helps me reduce back-and-forth between security and engineering. Instead of security asking the team manual questions about the environment, much of the context is now available directly in JupiterOne, allowing me to query it directly and get answers immediately. The monitoring part covers assets and metrics including asset coverage counts, compliance score percentage, policy violation counts, mean time to detect, mean time to respond, alert response rate, and integration count across connected tools. The policy violation count is the best metric I use to measure the impact of JupiterOne's centralized asset management repository on security initiatives.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The agent and agentless scanning in TotalCloud, particularly the FlexScan method, is incredibly valuable. With traditional scanning approaches, we had to give IP ranges and whitelist IPs. All that is now simplified. FlexScan requires minimal intervention, and after configuration, it automatically collects data and performs necessary scans."

"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."

"I appreciate TotalCloud's real-time protection and remediation features. The remediation options include automated one-click remedies and custom changes that help manage vulnerabilities efficiently."

"I like the web API security and IoT scanning features the most. The user-friendly design of TotalCloud's interface enables customers to navigate it and use its full potential easily"

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

"I would definitely recommend it because it is easy to handle any cloud resources."

"Qualys TotalCloud has improved our security posture."

"I appreciate Qualys TotalCloud's ability to onboard any type of device with ease, including containers."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"The cool feature of Helix Cloud Security is that you can do all that — understand and remediate issues — in one dashboard, based on the different policies that are available for security, out-of-the-box."

"The features that I've found most valuable are its container security aspect. I also like its vulnerability management tools."

"It is a good tool to make sure that your containers are safe and sound."

"Role-based security is a valuable feature."

"The most valuable aspects of BMC Helix Cloud Security are its security features and regulatory compliance capabilities."

"The best feature is time to value. With very minimal effort, you are able to have a cohesive view into your security posture on one or multiple cloud accounts, particularly if you are dealing with multicloud. If you have Azure and AWS deployments, you might have multiple subscriptions in Azure and usually multiple accounts in AWS. You may even be doing some GCP work (around Google Cloud Platform). It's very difficult to manage a common set of policies, even less reporting, across multiple subscriptions, accounts, and cloud environments. What BMC Helix Cloud Security does is provide a unified view or single pane of glass as to your baseline. Then, it also facilitates the ability for Level 1 or 2 operations support to take action and report on security vulnerabilities."

"Using this solution is an eye-opener; having that holistic view is the biggest eye-opener because you understand, from any of your connected cloud accounts, what your vulnerabilities are with it."

"With very minimal effort, you are able to have a cohesive view into your security posture on one or multiple cloud accounts, particularly if you are dealing with multicloud."

More BMC Helix Cloud Security pros

"Using JupiterOne, I have observed an increase in transaction success rates to 99% without improper data, translating to 99% time saved."

"The security team saved 80% of manual tracking time, reducing the weekly effort from 15 to 20 hours down to 3 to 4 hours."

"JupiterOne helps us aggregate all those things on one single platform, allowing us to quickly identify what environment that asset lives in and what type of asset it is."

"The product’s UI is pretty decent and fast."

"I have definitely seen a positive return on investment from JupiterOne in a few concrete ways."

Cons

"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."

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

"We would like to see Windows-based sensors available in Qualys, as this would make the platform more versatile and support a broader range of environments."

"TotalCloud could improve its scanning of niche devices like Wi-Fi dongles and USB modems because they are often untested. It covers everything else, like laptops, mobile devices, and Bluetooth IoT devices. They can improve on the small IoT devices because hackers and testers use these."

"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations. This shortcoming means we must rely on SCCM when any service stack updates or additional prerequisites are needed."

"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."

"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."

"The onboarding process is a bit difficult. In the initial phase, it is very difficult to understand the features, what the dashboard contains, and what criteria they are using."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"I want the role-based security feature to be improved."

"We've had some issues with connectors; the connectors have seemed to cause a little bit of trouble, perhaps with the APIs trying to scan the environment."

"Every organization out there doesn't rely on just one control body. They use FISMA control. They may use HIPAA, CIS, PCI, or SOX, then blend them. One of the things that is now in big demand for BMC Helix Cloud Security is content. That's the next journey in its lifespan, making it easier for the community to share and collaborate on content for security controls that can be measured and remediated."

"We've had some with issues connectors. The connectors have seemed to have caused a little bit of trouble, perhaps with the APIs trying to scan the environment. The only time I've had to reach out to tech support was for that. It seems it may not have been scanning correctly or I wasn't seeing data within a specific time. But we've set up a couple of connectors in the past couple of weeks and they actually scanned the AWS environment and we had data within about 10 minutes. It's working a lot faster and I think they're making improvements as they go."

"BMC Helix Cloud Security has room for improvement in terms of integrating its various features."

"The UI could be more user-friendly."

"The biggest challenge now, which is a good problem to have, with BMC Helix is content."

"I think its TOA interfaces are still not that comfortable. The UI could be more user-friendly, easier to 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."

"The only improvements I would suggest for JupiterOne are addressing the J1QL learning curve with better tutorials."

"You can only write Python queries in Jupiter, not other languages, like, SQL or PySpark."

"JupiterOne could improve regarding the cost, as enterprise deployment can be costly."

"However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use."

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

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

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

"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."

"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."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is based on an annual subscription, upfront, and it's based on cloud assets. Whether your assets are in Azure and AWS combined, the tool tells you how many assets are being scanned and that's the number used for pricing."

"It is a subscription model with term licensing that is usually yearly. This includes, not only the product, but support and maintenance. It is based on cloud assets. Therefore, if you have 100 cloud assets, those cloud assets are measured based on evaluation or transactions. For example, if I'm evaluating that cloud asset for CIS compliance, PCI compliance, and AWS best practices, that asset gets evaluated three times, as those are three transactions. However, the license model is based on peak asset usage. So, over a year, if you deploy 100, 1000, 500, and then 2000 assets, you will be charged for the 2000 peak of assets managed by Helix Cloud Security."
