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.

Aditya Vikram Raj

Associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Centralized threat insights have enabled comprehensive dark web exposure reporting

The best feature that Cybersixgill offers with respect to dark web intelligence is that they provide very good screenshots of where the particular data has been taken, which allows for better visualization and understanding of the scenario, with the source being indicated through onion links that can be reverse-engineered for further investigation. We were really impressed by some of the features of the platform, and we were planning to integrate it into our day-to-day work, but I'm not certain whether that happened because I was serving a notice period at that time.

Corey Cole

Service Coordinator - Technology Security at a government with 10,001+ employees

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

"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"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."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view based on requirements such as identifying the most vulnerable assets and calculating the average time to remediate vulnerabilities."

"Qualys TotalCloud has helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."

"We were able to realize its benefits within 24 to 48 hours."

"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."

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

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"To be diligent for the customer, we usually go into Cybersixgill Investigative Portal to analyze and search things. The solution tells us the reputation of cyber threat actors. So, if someone has a reputation of one, it is a really bad idea to care about what that person is saying. However, if you find someone with a reputation of nine, then there is a high probability that we need to address the problem. You can get information about these type of actors in Cybersixgill Investigative Portal. They have a huge collection, which is like having the rules/goals of the dark web and deep web without having to go there. Our analysts avoid going dark web because they have Cybersixgill Investigative Portal and can get the news from their browser, searching wherever they want."

"If I conducted research manually it would take one week, but by using Sixgill it takes two hours or three hours."

"I have been very vocal about how much this tool has helped."

"They also provide some of the greatest notification capabilities. I put in a customer's company name and domain names, or sometimes I put in their IP addresses as a keyword. Once Sixgill collects information that includes those keywords, they then provide us email notifications. That means we can catch information related to our customers as soon as possible."

"The size and scope of the solution’s collection is amazing, and when we compare what other solutions can and cannot do, we see how Cybersixgill Investigative Portal is superior in many ways."

"Rather than hiring more analysts, we have been able to do more with less and automate some of our investigation functions."

"The advanced analysis has made our security operations more efficient. It has also potentially given us quicker access to data that we might not have otherwise located."

"The solution’s approach of using limited open source intelligence and focusing, instead, on the Deep Web and Dark Web is what seals the deal. That is why I like them. I have other tools that I can aggregate all the open source intelligence from. I value Cybersixgill because it provides access to things that no one else does."

More Cybersixgill pros

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

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

"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."

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable 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."

"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."

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

"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."

"Their support could be improved."

"The cloud licensing unit system is unclear, especially since "units" aren't well-defined."

"Regarding technical support from Qualys, they respond, but the response time can be too long. Sometimes we need to wait weeks for solutions to simple questions."

"In terms of improvement, remediation still belongs to the cloud team, which is one of the issues we faced with Qualys TotalCloud."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"Sixgill has strong capabilities based on search queries, but there is some difficulty in using Sixgill. Their querying is very powerful but it can be difficult. It's not hugely complex but you need some skill to use Sixgill querying."

"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing. For example, if someone was posting something, then ten second later, it was on the platform. Sometimes, it takes a minute or hours right now, depending on the forum."

"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing."

"Regarding their scraping abilities, things could be solidified. There are definitely improvements that could be made on the specificity for setting certain queries."

"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps."

"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps. More data would be my suggestion because the platform is good and I have no complaints about the system. I think it is just a case of always trying to get more data sources."

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

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

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

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

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

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

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

"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."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"The pricing and licensing are good. It is expensive for us because the US dollar is quite strong compared to our dollar. Otherwise, it is quite reasonable for what it is. All the tools in the market are around the same price from my experience."

"The pricing is cheap compared with Recorded Future. Sixgill's cost-effectiveness is very good."

"Sometimes, Cybersixgill Investigative Portal is cheaper than its competitors."

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

"The product was expensive for us."
