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.

Improved industrial asset visibility has transformed risk management and compliance monitoring

I think there are some areas of weaknesses in Claroty Platform. The pricing could improve, as some of the features require licensing tiers and therefore the pricing could be higher. Claroty Platform could benefit from simpler licensing and pricing structures. The executive dashboard can improve as well, and they can expand their third-party integration. Additionally, their predictive AI-driven recommendations can be improved. I think it does provide for very good behavior analysis through AI capabilities and risk prioritization, which is generally quite trustworthy. As the capability of AI enhances, I think it can provide for better risk recommendations. Claroty Platform can have a better and simpler licensing arrangement. Their third-party integrations can expand. They can have better executive dashboards and more AI-driven predictive risk recommendations. I would rate them an eight for these reasons. Dashboards, licensing, integrations, and AI-driven recommendations are areas for improvement. Probably one more to add is that they can have better and more enhanced automated remediation workflows.

The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain

Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"If someone were to ask me to review Qualys TotalCloud, I would summarize it as an end-to-end solution for cloud security with visibility and governance-grade controls without needing to manage multiple disconnected tools."

"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."

"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."

"The platform's unified view of the organization proves particularly valuable for leadership team meetings."

"I found the initial setup user-friendly."

"Its excellent graphical interface makes the scanning process simple."

"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."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."

"The tool's best feature was the UI and the simplicity it offers."

"I have had a very good experience with the Claroty Platform."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."

"The solution's asset management is really great compared to Dragos or Nozomi."

"Claroty assigns a score based on how well you are doing in the course. If you skip a video, your score decreases, making it essential to watch the content attentively."

"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."

"Our different execution team is there to handle it, but overall, the product is pretty easy to deploy and integrate with the existing system."

More Claroty Platform pros

"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."

"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."

"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."

"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

Cons

"TotalCloud could improve the classification of vulnerabilities. Specifically, it could enhance the categorization of what aspects fall under patches resolved by OS or software updates and what pertains to configuration adjustments."

"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 price is very expensive, actually."

"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."

"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."

"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."

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

"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."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."

"The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site."

"I've reported four bugs and three feature requests so far. The main area of focus should be on how attacks are detected. The attack vector information needs to be more detailed. For example, it's not enough to state that an SMB v1 version open can lead to a WannaCry attack. A more detailed explanation should help clients understand the various ways an attack could occur."

"If more AI features could be included with the Clarity solution, it would be feasible for everybody."

"There should be AI security solutions implemented."

"For improvement, I think the training could be more practical. We have external training, but they're mostly theoretical. I want the solution to provide hands-on lab experience to help users learn better."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools. Improvements could also be made in the Secure Remote Access (SRA) user interaction and graphical representations of recordings."

More Claroty Platform cons

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."

"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."

"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"I believe the price compares well within the market."

"The product was expensive for us."
