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.

Risk-based workflows have transformed how our teams prioritize and track critical vulnerabilities
One important area for improvement could be reporting flexibility and dashboard customization, as this would need to align with specific organizational requirements. I believe it could be better. Additionally, UI simplification and more customization around workflows and reporting would further enhance the analyst experience. Improvements in executive reporting, more customizable dashboards, and deeper workflow flexibility would enhance operational usability further. Vulcan Cyber handles scalability well in our organization. It maintains stability for visibility and remediation tracking, avoiding the need for additional storage, as it is cloud-based. It scales well in our environment, even as vulnerability data and assets grow significantly.

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."
"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."
"By integrating TotalCloud, we have significantly reduced vulnerabilities in our deployment pipeline."
"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."
"The dashboards are particularly valuable as they offer a comprehensive view of the environment, highlighting any misconfigurations."
"Qualys TotalCloud has improved our security posture."
"CSPM is currently the most used feature, and we are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs."
"One of Qualys' best features is its categorization, which allows us to see the types of assets, their security postures, and the AI-powered version of the tool."
"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."
"Using JupiterOne, I have observed an increase in transaction success rates to 99% without improper data, translating to 99% time saved."
"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 most notable aspects include having prioritization capabilities and custom scripts."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
"Vulcan Cyber helps us prioritize the vulnerabilities that are really exploitable and our point of interest for the industry based on the threat intelligence that we get."
"Vulcan Cyber is a very good tool."
"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"Vulcan enables us to automate tickets from multiple scanners. It has lots of analytics options that show us charts and allow us to view the statuses in different waves. The dashboard is nice because it's highly informative about the big picture."
 

Cons

"Some major banks and insurance companies require an on-premises solution for comprehensive vulnerability management, which TotalCloud does not offer."
"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."
"I would like the ability to disable certain default built-in policies as they can be misleading when creating dashboards. That is the top one."
"TotalCloud could improve the classification of vulnerabilities. Specifically, it could enhance the categorization of what aspects fall under patches resolved by OS or software updates and what pertains to configuration adjustments."
"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"
"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."
"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."
"You can only write Python queries in Jupiter, not other languages, like, SQL or PySpark."
"JupiterOne could improve regarding the cost, as enterprise deployment can be costly."
"The only improvements I would suggest for JupiterOne are addressing the J1QL learning curve with better tutorials."
"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."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."
"We have the highest privilege in the application, and at least for members with the highest privilege, having the capability to reach out to the vendor directly from the application would be beneficial."
"There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."
"It was a rough year in terms of setup. I had to set it up and onboard it. It was a significant effort from my side at least."
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities. I would like to have more information about the remedies for particular vulnerabilities so that we do not have to go through the CVE numbers and relevant pages to check for a particular vulnerability and its remedy."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"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."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."
"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."
"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."
Information not available
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
