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.

Has provided wide data coverage and supports flexible implementation for growing database environments
Imperva SecureSphere Database Security offers the most comprehensive coverage range of database types, which is a significant advantage. It has very flexible implementation modes and an understandable console. Even someone who is not a database administrator could work with it, understand the security events, and comprehend the data activity monitoring events.Data is the most important asset in any organization and the primary target of hackers. Imperva SecureSphere Database Security provides one of the best solutions to analyze data, maintain GDPR compliance, and help investigate any incidents. It is user-friendly and can start with a small scope. Unlike competitors such as IBM Guardium and Oracle, customers can start with a small scope and scale every year. This advantage allows them to invest less money initially while learning the solution. Year after year, they can add value scope and cover more databases in their organization with high quality. We have been working with Imperva SecureSphere Database Security for about 10 years. I started working with this project about five years ago.

Streamlined data products have empowered non‑technical teams and still require more automation
The best feature Satori offers is its simplicity for non-business and non-technical persons because all you have to do is provide inputs—the tables that you want to use as source—and then the framework does all the work. You just define the tables and what tables need to be joined. This simplicity helps my team in day-to-day work because non-technical people and product owners can actually develop data products with this streamlined pipeline without having to know how to code and without having to maintain a code base. We just maintain and enhance while they build what they want. Satori also has data quality checks that are defined by the data quality team, so we know if the data are corrupted. That is another main feature. Satori has positively impacted my organization because it's a product that has been sold to many clients and has also been used internally for some use cases that the company needed. It's one of the most successful products of the company.

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 significantly reduced our workload in terms of managing risks, helping us to be more efficient and save substantial resources."
"This is a stable product."
"If an organization wants to do both the cases like I have a database, I have a web server, I want to secure both the infrastructures, I know I can strictly go for the Imperva, and Imperva will give management of two gateways for two different solutions, and that's it."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security is both completely scalable and stable."

"The solution is very stable."
"Satori leads to more sales and has doubled our sales."

Cons

"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"The areas in the solution that have room for improvement include the UI/UX design, which should be improved, and they should integrate more artificial intelligence into the product."
"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."
"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"The product needs to perform better in extremely busy databases; it does not do really well where the DB is extremely, extremely busy."
"The stability and the ease of use of this product can be improved."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The product is under high development and the amount of bugs is bit disappointing."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"Syslog size for transferring data should be increased."
"It is quite expensive. We wanted it in my former organization, but the price was very high."
"Everything could potentially be improved."
"Satori can be improved by integrating CI/CD because currently we are doing it manually, which is something we need to fix."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."
"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."
"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."

"I know it's not cheap."
"Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
"The product is expensive."
"Imperva is too expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises. They're missing out on technology that helps them manage their data security better. Data security is essential because even the strongest network may be attacked from the inside without it."

"They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."
