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.

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.

Automated risk assessment has improved data security but still needs finer file-level controls
In my opinion, SecureWorks Taegis VDR can be improved by adding some other important data security features. Since we are using a couple of backup devices through EDR only, my suggestion would be that additional security features are required so that we can smoothen the data flow. Data protection is a very significant concern for us, and we need security features that work at each file or directory level. I would like to see security features such as user level security, end user level security, group-wise security, and super user-wise security in the future. Time stamping is also very important for us. In the future, I would like to see additional features such as time stamping and file level stamping, as these are more important for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Generally, Qualys is very good at detections, whether on cloud or on-prem, and the agent allows deployment on both infrastructures, providing continuous monitoring of your assets, which is a key selling point for us."
"Its dashboards are brilliant. It provides in-depth insights."
"Once it is set up, Qualys has proved to be one of our greatest assets."
"Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment for IaaS and SaaS and a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce my workload by not having to combine multiple sources."
"The best features in Qualys TotalCloud include the total asset management of the cloud environment. It is very easy to export the report and see the vulnerabilities related to the cloud specifically."
"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."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"Using JupiterOne, I have observed an increase in transaction success rates to 99% without improper data, translating to 99% time saved."
"As for return on investment, JupiterOne has been widely used and is one of the sought-after applications for asset management for us, creating alerts and featuring automation with a dashboard, making it a one-in-all solution."
"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."
"The product’s UI is pretty decent and fast."
"JupiterOne positively impacts our organization by giving us centralized visibility into our cloud assets, identities, vulnerabilities, and their relationships."
"I would assess the impact of SecureWorks Taegis VDR on my organization's threat detection efficiency as very positive because we have a couple of devices."
"I chose SecureWorks Taegis VDR because I trust SecureWorks, having worked with McAfee, Symantec, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Carbon Black, Cylance, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, and more, and I would say SecureWorks Taegis VDR is outstanding among all the other vendors in terms of functionality, ease of access, and UI friendliness."
"It is a one-stop solution for different needs with separate APIs. The product offers different solutions for different companies."
"SecureWorks Taegis VDR's best features include unified detection and response, as it pulls in alerts and logs from all my different tools such as EDR, SIEM, firewall, cloud services, and Windows machines, collecting everything into one clean dashboard where I can view all these items and eliminate the need to hunt through ten dashboards to piece a threat together."
 

Cons

"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."
"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"The downside is only in container security, but it has not been a long time since they introduced these models."
"In terms of improvement, remediation still belongs to the cloud team, which is one of the issues we faced with Qualys TotalCloud."
"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."
"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."
"However, I think there are still many improvements to make, especially regarding user experience because finding the number of entities can be complicated; it is often buried deep in the interface."
"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."
"I would like to improve SecureWorks Taegis VDR by enhancing the dashboard to provide a holistic view with granular data."
"SecureWorks Taegis VDR is very stable, though there is scope for improvement."
"Regarding technical support, I would say it is not that much up to the mark. That is one of the biggest concerns for us."
"There is always room for improvement in SecureWorks Taegis VDR, especially regarding user interface and navigation, as the platform is powerful but the UI can feel complex for new users."
