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.

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.

Peter Whelan

CISO at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility

I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its security capabilities that help identify and mitigate risk factors."

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

"The vulnerability management feature is the one I like the most because it provides a clear picture of all vulnerabilities."

"The dashboards are particularly valuable as they offer a comprehensive view of the environment, highlighting any misconfigurations."

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."

"The most valuable feature of Qualys TotalCloud is the visibility it provides."

"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."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Wiz significantly helped with our compliance requirements."

"Wiz has helped my organization achieve zero criticals in its issue queues after a month."

"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."

"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."

"Wiz has significantly reduced alert fatigue in our organization by grouping together elements that form toxic combinations, allowing us to quickly identify and remediate critical issues instead of chasing isolated alerts from multiple tools."

"The UI is what I appreciate most about Wiz; the interface is really easy and not clunky."

"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."

"The most valuable feature of Wiz is that it keeps information up to date without needing to perform scans or schedule maintenance windows. It provides a fresh snapshot of our vulnerability metrics."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."

"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."

"Qualys TotalCloud's increasing complexity, due to the development and deployment of multiple solutions, is making the GUI difficult to navigate."

"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."

"In a future release, I suggest that zero-day vulnerabilities should be predicted in advance using AI technologies. The system is not 100% secure yet, so proactive threat hunting could be enhanced to be more proactive than the current system."

"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."

"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations. This shortcoming means we must rely on SCCM when any service stack updates or additional prerequisites are needed."

"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

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

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

"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."

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

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

"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."

"The solution's container security could be improved."

"An area that Wiz can still continue to improve is FinOps."

"I found the initial setup of Wiz not entirely straightforward; there is a learning curve involved."

"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."

"I choose eight out of ten because there is always room for improvement."

"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."

"We have an integration with ServiceNow, but Wiz's ServiceNow integration is not the best."

"More or less, Wiz is doing well, but the false alerts at random times would be another area for improvement."

More Wiz cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."

"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."

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

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

"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."

"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."

"As a middle management member, I do not have direct pricing knowledge, but based on the knowledge from our meetings, its pricing is competitive."

"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

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

"The product was expensive for us."

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

Fortra

Wiz is the industry’s first AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP), empowering organizations to securely protect everything they build and run at machine speed. Moving beyond traditional cloud security management, Wiz unifies Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), and Attack Surface Management (ASM) into a single, cohesive platform. It provides 100% agentless visibility across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba Cloud, and more) and Kubernetes, instantly discovering everything from traditional virtual machines to dynamic AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Model Context Protocols (MCPs). To help organizations stay resilient in the AI threat landscape, Wiz features an agentic security operating model with specialized AI Agents (Red, Blue, and Green) that autonomously investigate threats, validate exploitability, and remediate risks paired with Wiz Workflows to automate and customize response as fast as risk is discovered, directly in the tools teams work in. Users adopt Wiz to eliminate toxic combinations of risk, secure AI pipelines, automate compliance, and achieve zero critical vulnerabilities.

What are the key features of Wiz?

AI-Enriched Security Graph: Models relationships across code, cloud infrastructure, identities, data, and AI components to pinpoint "toxic combinations" of risk and actual attack paths.
Wiz AI Agents & Workflows: Features the Red Agent (an autonomous AI pentester that validates complex, exploitable risks), Blue Agent (an automated threat investigator for runtime alerts), and Green Agent (a resolution engine that identifies the safest, fastest remediation paths back to the root cause in code). Wiz Workflows orchestrates these agents and the remediation lifecycle across the platform, fully customizable to each organization’s processes and integrated with the tools teams already use. Consolidated Cloud & AI Posture Management: Unifies CSPM with AI-SPM (AI Security Posture Management) and DSPM, securing everything from traditional cloud assets to AI models and sensitive training data with a single scanning engine.
Advanced Agentless Deployment: Deploys in minutes via API to provide complete full-stack visibility without disrupting business operations, expanding to instantly discover hidden AI tools, shadow APIs, and "vibe-coded" applications.
Wiz Code & Wiz Defend: Extends protection from code to runtime, offering context-aware AI-SAST (in preview) for deep code analysis, zero-config code-to-cloud mapping, and real-time threat detection across cloud workloads and Kubernetes.

What benefits should users expect?

Machine-Speed Defense: Goes beyond "time efficiency" by using AI to autonomously triage alerts, automatically trace risks to the exact code owner, and provide 1-click in-code fixes, keeping pace with rapid AI-driven development.
Definitive Exploitability & Enhanced Security: Instead of overwhelming teams with noisy, theoretical alerts, Wiz safely simulates multi-step attacks from the outside in to definitively validate which vulnerabilities actually represent critical business risk and blast radius.
Automated Compliance & Governance: Streamlines compliance processes across over 100 built-in frameworks, mapping regulatory requirements directly to cloud and data security postures.
Democratized Security & Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by allowing organizations to retire siloed legacy tools. With role-based access and over 240 integrations, Wiz delivers prescriptive remediation guidance directly to developers in the tools they already work in - giving them the context to independently fix issues before they’re ever committed. Companies in industries with complex architectures, such as finance, healthcare, and retail, leverage Wiz for its comprehensive multi-cloud and Kubernetes support to manage risks and compliance efficiently. Furthermore, as organizations of all sizes rapidly adopt Generative AI, they rely on Wiz to securely implement AI agents, protect sensitive customer data from exposure, and enforce preventative security guardrails directly within the AI software development lifecycle.
