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.

Allows for organizations and projects to manage open source vulnerabilities in an efficient, smooth and secure way
Debricked Security has already implemented several improvements, which are great. One area that could be improved is simplifying the process of converting other SBOM data formats into files that Debricked can understand. While the conversion isn't difficult, it is pretty technical and could be challenging for non-technical users. Apart from that, all software features work seamlessly. The integration with endpoints took less than fifteen minutes, and everything from security conventions to automation rules works perfectly. As for AI, Debricked Security uses it effectively, reducing manual work and unnecessary analysis. It enhances data analysis, making it much easier for customers, which I appreciate about the tool.

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation
Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.

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 positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution."
"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."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment for IaaS and SaaS and a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce my workload by not having to combine multiple sources."
"The most valuable feature of Qualys TotalCloud is the visibility it provides."
"The platform's unified view of the organization proves particularly valuable for leadership team meetings."
"With TotalCloud, we can scan through the API. If we are not able to deploy cloud agents on the machine, we can use the API."
"Its excellent graphical interface makes the scanning process simple."
"One of the most valuable features of Debricked Security is its ability to integrate with other tools like the Software Security Center and Fortify on Demand. This integration allows users to make comparisons and generate detailed reports based on the data that Debricked Security populates or aggregates. While this feature may not be unique, it is highly effective for detecting vulnerabilities and providing comprehensive insights."
"From this perspective, Snyk looks like the most promising solution."
"Snyk has given us really good results because it is fully automated. We don't have to scan projects every time to find vulnerabilities, as it already stores the dependencies that we are using. It monitors 24/7 to find out if there are any issues that have been reported out on the Internet."
"It is a really nice tool if you really want to do the dependency check and security scanning of your code, which falls under static code analysis."
"It's very easy for developers to use. Onboarding was an easy process for all of the developers within the company. After a quick, half-an-hour to an hour session, they were fully using it on their own. It's very straightforward. Usability is definitely a 10 out of 10."
"Snyk's ability to scan all of those every time we build, and keep a running status of them and recheck them daily, is extremely valuable for making us aware of what's going on."
"The most valuable feature is that they add a lot of their own information to the vulnerabilities. They describe vulnerabilities and suggest their own mitigations or version upgrades. The information was the winning factor when we compared Snyk to others. This is what gave it more impact."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"The fact that it provides visibility, compliance-related visibility, that is not readily available by cloud suppliers themselves, is its most valuable aspect."
 

Cons

"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"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."
"It is already perfect, but they can bring some newer dashboards and customization options for the dashboard. It would be great to be able to include on-prem assets on the dashboard."
"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."
"Qualys TotalCloud's increasing complexity, due to the development and deployment of multiple solutions, is making the GUI difficult to navigate."
"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."
"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"Debricked Security has already implemented several improvements, which are great. One area that could be improved is simplifying the process of converting other SBOM data formats into files that Debricked can understand. While the conversion isn't difficult, it is pretty technical and could be challenging for non-technical users. Apart from that, all software features work seamlessly. The integration with endpoints took less than fifteen minutes, and everything from security conventions to automation rules works perfectly. As for AI, Debricked Security uses it effectively, reducing manual work and unnecessary analysis. It enhances data analysis, making it much easier for customers, which I appreciate about the tool."
"I use Snyk alongside Sonar, and Snyk tends to generate a lot of false positives. Improving the overall report quality and reducing false positives would be beneficial. I don't need additional features; just improving the existing ones would be enough."
"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory."
"You need to go to the tool, export it as a CSV, and then find it, which is ridiculous."
"It would be ideal if there was customization with a focus on specific cybersecurity areas or capabilities."
"There are some new features that we would like to see added, e.g., more visibility into library usage for the code. Something along the lines where it's doing the identification of where vulnerabilities are used, etc. This would cause them to stand out in the market as a much different platform."
"The solution could improve the reports. They have been working on improving the reports but more work could be done."
"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."
"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."
"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."
"Its price seems higher compared to other tools, but it is worth it. If they could adjust the pricing and make it comparable with other tools, that would be great."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."
"Regarding the cost, in my country, I would say it is expensive. However, I’m not directly involved in the sales process, so I don't have the exact license costs."
"The price is good. Snyk had a good price compared to the competition, who had higher pricing than them. Also, their licensing and billing are clear."
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"Pricing-wise, it is not expensive as compared to other tools. If you have a couple of licenses, you can scan a certain number of projects. It just needs to be attached to them."
"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."
"Presently, my company uses an open-source version of the solution. The solution's pricing can be considered quite reasonable owing to the features they offer."
"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Snyk is a premium-priced product, so it's kind of expensive. The big con that I find frustrating is when a company charges extra for single sign-on (SSO) into their SaaS app. Snyk is one of the few that I'm willing to pay that add-on charge, but generally I disqualify products that charge an extra fee to do integrated authentication to our identity provider, like Okta or some other SSO. That is a big negative. We had to pay extra for that. That little annoyance aside, it is expensive. You get a lot out of it, but you're paying for that premium."
