Sr Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Risk-based triage has transformed container security and now prioritizes high-impact threats
The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers currently include managing cloud infrastructure and container security while facing major challenges such as alert fatigue. Traditional vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of CVEs on short-lived Kubernetes containers, some of which have no internet exposure or are gone before we can even triage them. I leverage Qualys TotalCloud to move beyond static CVSS. I use it to implement runtime exposure, correlation risk reprioritization, and shift-left integration. This notifies developers to fix a base image upstream rather than patching live ephemeral instances. In my work with cloud and container security, the biggest operational hurdle was alert fatigue. I use Qualys to shift left from static CVSS severity to context-aware risk prioritization. I correlated raw vulnerability data with real-time risk factors such as public network exposure, active runtime execution, or overly permissive IAM roles. This allows us to immediately drop the priority of isolated containers and escalate lower-severity CVEs that sit on an exposed, high-risk path. We can map these findings directly back to our CI/CD pipelines so developers can patch the root base images upstream. We have drastically cut down the signal-to-noise ratio, saved a lot of manual hours doing triage work, and ensured engineering effort goes directly towards high-impact risk reduction.

Easy to deploy, scalable, but the UI needs work
We use the solution for LLC merchants, threat advisories, and research The solution is adding a more contextually rich and higher fidelity enrichment to our IOCs. Integration is the most valuable feature. The web front end of the UI is a bit clunky and has room for improvement. I would like a…

Exploit intelligence has transformed how my team prioritizes and responds to vulnerabilities
The best features that VulnCheck offers in my opinion are exploit intelligence, vulnerability enrichment, exploitation timelines, and information about exploit maturity. These details provide content-based insights beyond a basic vulnerability score and help teams make better-informed prioritization decisions.The exploitation timelines and maturity information have been useful for understanding the status of known exploits. This content can help security teams prioritize vulnerabilities more effectively instead of relying on severity scores. The exploitation data provides useful content about exploit availability, maturity, and exploitation activity. This information can help security teams understand vulnerability risk and prioritize remediations, although some technical details may be required as cybersecurity knowledge to interpret correctly. VulnCheck provides useful exploit intelligence, which can help security teams identify vulnerabilities without any exploitation activity and prioritize urgent threats. Exploitation details and maturity information can support faster, more informed threat response decisions. I am not currently using the Canary Intelligence feature, but I understand its potential value in providing early visibility into emerging exploitation activity and helping security teams prioritize threats. VulnCheck's operational exploit artifacts can help security teams understand exploit behavior and improve detection and response planning. They may support the development and validation of detection rules and help analysts investigate suspicious activity more effectively. VulnCheck's scanless exposure insight feature provides visibility into potential external exposure without requiring active scanning in the environment. Its effectiveness depends on the accuracy and coverage of available data, so findings should be validated before making critical security decisions. VulnCheck's Initial Access Intelligence (IAI) artifacts provide useful context about vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques associated with initial access. This information helps security teams understand potential attack vectors, improve detection strategies, and prioritize defensive measures. VulnCheck's EVI (Exploit Validation Intelligence) Index adds valuable context to CVE records by providing information about exploit maturity and real-world exploitation evidence. This helps security teams distinguish vulnerabilities with a credible exploitation signal from those that may be less urgent, thereby supporting more informed prioritization and remediation decisions. VulnCheck's machine-readable intelligence supports security automation by making vulnerability exploit data easier to consume through integrations and APIs. This information helps automate vulnerability enrichment, prioritize findings, and support remediation workflows, with the actual impact depending on integration quality and how extensively the data is used in existing security processes.

"If you are looking for a one-stop solution for vulnerability management that offers lower costs and superior visibility into vulnerabilities, then VulnCheck is the right choice."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its handling of zero-day vulnerabilities and supply chain management because modern ransomware attacks not only target prime critical infrastructures but also the supply chain system."
"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"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."
"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
"Overall, we are satisfied with it. However, the response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved. It is not yet in place according to requirements; it is not completely available even though the module has been released."
"I would like a more universal search."
"A clearer onboarding process and more end-to-end integration examples would help new users get started with VulnCheck."
"VulnCheck could be improved by making the interface even more intuitive and adding more customization around how information is displayed and reviewed; more detailed reporting and clearer explanations when a verification result needs attention would also be helpful, and these improvements would make the workflow quicker, especially for users who are new to the platform."
"I chose a rating of nine for VulnCheck because some parts, such as the implementation aspect and the patch remediation trackers, are lacking."
"Regarding VulnCheck's AI capabilities, I find that it currently lacks AI-driven capabilities."
"VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data."
"VulnCheck can be improved with a more intuitive dashboard, better integration with AWS security services and CI/CD pipelines, and clearer remediation recommendations."
"VulnCheck is a really good tool, but it could be improved with a more user-friendly dashboard and also with more detailed vulnerability context."
"VulnCheck's UI and reporting can be improved for better visibility."
