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.

Great protection, good privacy, and helpful support
The only thing I would like is a way to open the email that is going to quarantine. Based on the level of security, they cannot open the email to check the message. Even for the administrator, you have to create a security copy to be sent, which will lock the log support. It's not easy for an admin to check and decide if the email is good or not. That is the only thing that I'm seeing could be improved. Basically, ESET doesn't have the ability to let the administrator release an email showing the message on the email. It's not possible. If you want to have an email review, you have to select an option to send a copy. In the way that they designed the system, for security, they are not letting anyone even have the admin privileges to make this happen. Privacy is at a really high level.

Proactive exploit intelligence has transformed how we prioritize real-world vulnerability risks
VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data. It is primarily an intelligence and data layering system and not a complete vulnerability management platform. This means that it lacks native patch workflows, so you do not have asset discovery as you would with Tenable or Qualys. You will require other tools to act on the data that you find, which necessitates engineering time for API integration, data mapping, and tuning. Additionally, not all exploit signs are clear; some can be noisy or ambiguous, so teams need to apply their judgment. Finally, the time to value is not instant; it requires integration, workflow changes, and team training. I think VulnCheck is an excellent tool and valuable data resource. However, if you wish to send alerts via an API to platforms like Rapid7 or Tenable VM, you will need to integrate that with a SIEM solution to perform any kind of risk management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its ability to link clusters of assets, providing a clear model of deployments, vulnerabilities, and statuses."
