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.

Automated cloud insights have transformed compliance monitoring and reduced audit preparation time

Regarding the advantages of JupiterOne, the automated asset discovery, graph-based visualizations, and compliance mapping against SOC 2 and ISO 27001 policy management with pre-built templates are standout features. The J1QL query language for custom security queries, alerting for misconfigurations, and integrations with AWS, GitHub, Okta, and CloudTrail are also valuable. The graph-based querying is underrated. Most people think of it as just an asset inventory tool, but the ability to query relationships between assets and understand what is connected to what in an automated compliance context is truly powerful once the team becomes comfortable with it. The impact is much better visibility into cloud security posture than I had before. My security team has spent less time manually hunting for information and more time actually acting on risk. The query capability helps me reduce back-and-forth between security and engineering. Instead of security asking the team manual questions about the environment, much of the context is now available directly in JupiterOne, allowing me to query it directly and get answers immediately. The monitoring part covers assets and metrics including asset coverage counts, compliance score percentage, policy violation counts, mean time to detect, mean time to respond, alert response rate, and integration count across connected tools. The policy violation count is the best metric I use to measure the impact of JupiterOne's centralized asset management repository on security initiatives.

Cloud posture management has improved remediation and optimizes costs with contextual risk insights

Since I have not used Orca Security for 10 months, I am uncertain what areas still need improvement, as they may have rolled out features that addressed issues I faced in the past. However, I can say the tool is good. A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI. What I observed is that they release updates to the platform without notifying the customer. Every time the UI is upgraded, they release something without notification. This could be a slight improvement. If they released some kind of notification to just inform the customer about UI changes, the customer would be aware of the changes that Orca Security is making in the backend.

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 helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."

"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."

"TotalCloud provides the easiest and the best approach for cloud infrastructure management."

"While automatic inventory detection upon connection is a helpful feature, a truly valuable capability would be assessing an environment's security posture against Azure and CIS best practices."

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

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

"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"TotalCloud's best feature is the integration of cloud accounts. It helps with the risk and security posture management of our cloud infrastructure."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"The security team saved 80% of manual tracking time, reducing the weekly effort from 15 to 20 hours down to 3 to 4 hours."

"The product’s UI is pretty decent and fast."

"JupiterOne helps us aggregate all those things on one single platform, allowing us to quickly identify what environment that asset lives in and what type of asset it is."

"I have definitely seen a positive return on investment from JupiterOne in a few concrete ways."

"Using JupiterOne, I have observed an increase in transaction success rates to 99% without improper data, translating to 99% time saved."

"Orca's dashboard is excellent. My team needs to be able to focus on specific areas for improvement in our cloud environment. And most recently, we've started to get good use out of sonar, the search capabilities, and the alert creation."

"Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this product, which is the best way I can put it."

"In our opinion, Orca Sensor is the best solution available at the moment, and it significantly affects the visibility and protection of environments."

"Orca Security is very good for faster management due to their CNAP, which stands for Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, consolidating CSPM, CWPM, CWPP, and CAEM, including entitlement management and vulnerability scanning, into a single platform so we can check data-related security posture management across various domains, including security and multi-cloud compliance, and put security at the forefront rather than waiting until project completion."

"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."

"Once our organization is configured, any cloud account under that organization is automatically detected in Orca Security, along with all the assets associated with it."

"Orca Security has helped our organization become compliant and maintain high standards because any organization with multiple products needs to be compliant, especially when it comes to underlying infrastructure and cloud resources."

"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."

More Orca Security pros

Cons

"Some major banks and insurance companies require an on-premises solution for comprehensive vulnerability management, which TotalCloud does not offer."

"Qualys' customer service provides quality answers, but the response time is long, even though it is within the SLA."

"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."

"The onboarding process is a bit difficult. In the initial phase, it is very difficult to understand the features, what the dashboard contains, and what criteria they are using."

"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."

"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."

"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."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use."

"Regarding performance and speed scenarios for JupiterOne, queries sometimes take too long, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex graph relationships that can slow down significantly."

"The only improvements I would suggest for JupiterOne are addressing the J1QL learning curve with better tutorials."

"JupiterOne could improve regarding the cost, as enterprise deployment can be costly."

"You can only write Python queries in Jupiter, not other languages, like, SQL or PySpark."

"A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI."

"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection. While we have pretty good confidence that it's going to detect some of the static malware, some of the detections are heuristics. There could be a growth in the library from where they're pulling their information, but we don't get a lot of those alerts based on the design of our products. In general, that might be an area that needs to be filled since they offer it as a service within it."

"Orca Security can improve the way that a customer can create auto-remediation without depending on support to do that."

"In the future, I'd like to see Orca work better with third-party vendors. Specifically, being able to provide sanitized results from third parties."

"Orca Security could improve its ticket creation process."

"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."

"I think the downside of Orca Security is the reports."

"We are PCI DSS compliant, so we need to scan our environment externally with tools vetted by the PCI DSS organization. Orca doesn't scan the environment externally. It only scans what's currently in the cloud."

More Orca Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

"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."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."

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

"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."

Information not available

"It is the cost of the visibility that you get. When you really sit down and think about what do you need to do to secure an environment with a low impact on the business, and you take a look out into the world, I think this tool is well justified around cost."

"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."

"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."

"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."

"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."

"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."

"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."

"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
