Unified cloud visibility has simplified compliance reporting and improved incident response
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. There is also a steep learning curve, as J1QL, their query language, is powerful but requires time to learn. New users struggle initially, and better onboarding tutorials are needed. Rate limiting issues can be frustrating, as API rate limits sometimes cause problems. Price transparency for JupiterOne is an area for improvement. The price is not publicly listed, so you have to contact sales for smaller teams or startups, which becomes a barrier. Another issue is alert noise, as sometimes too many alerts are generated. Better filtering and prioritization are needed so that critical issues do not get lost. JupiterOne is very good when compared to other cloud asset platforms overall.

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.

"I appreciate Qualys TotalCloud's ability to onboard any type of device with ease, including containers."

Cons

"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."
"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."
"However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use."
"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."
"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."
"It is already perfect, but they can bring some newer dashboards and customization options for the dashboard. It would be great to be able to include on-prem assets on the dashboard."
"It has been working very well, but it would be helpful if the dashboard could generate reports tailored to specific compliance needs. For example, in India, we have to comply with RBI and SEBI guidelines. It w"
"The vulnerability part is good, but the policy compliance module needs improvement because it involves a lot of manual work. Specifically, the remediation part of the controls requires enhancements."
"Enhancing clarity regarding its compliance capabilities would be beneficial, as the current scope is limited in geographic coverage."
"The main area needing improvement is integration. Although the team is strengthening TotalCloud, integration can be enhanced with SIEM, SOAR, ITSM, and other sources."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
