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.

High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds

The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud for our container management is Kubernetes. It provides a cluster, high availability, and a self-healing mechanism. Its multi-cluster management capability enhances our operational efficiency as it is easy to use, and every deployment is from the CI/CD, which automatically builds and deploys without human interference, reducing our deployment time to a few seconds.

Cloud risk visibility has transformed how I prioritize threats and reduce unnecessary spend

From my perspective, Orca Security is a really good tool. I would say one area I would like to see CNAPP platforms get is more intelligence when it comes to risk prioritization, which correlates with vulnerability, exposing assets, identities, and active threats to help the security team focus on risks that are more likely to be exploited. I am a huge advocate for automation. I also think deeper automation for remediation or stronger integration with ticketing and CI/CD pipelines or more customization would help. Executive reporting would help the security team respond significantly faster and communicate risk more effectively if those kinds of improvements are made.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable feature is its agent versatility."

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

"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other customers."

"By integrating TotalCloud, we have significantly reduced vulnerabilities in our deployment pipeline."

"I like the web API security and IoT scanning features the most. The user-friendly design of TotalCloud's interface enables customers to navigate it and use its full potential easily"

"Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"The solution has enhanced the security and compliance management of container environments which reduces operational overhead and costs."

"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."

"Ansible (when combined with Docker and Docker deployment tools) wins any time of the day."

"The solution containerizes software."

"Mirantis Container Cloud operates similarly to how we interact with databases. It provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and managing containerized applications across cloud environments."

"On the deployment front, we saved about six developers worth of effort for every 64 people."

"The most important thing that my clients focus on is rapid deployment, and in this regard, Docker wins hands-down."

"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud."

More Mirantis Container Cloud pros

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

"Before starting with Orca, I was blind; think about someone who was blind and now they can see, it's a new world."

"The best features of Orca Security include its ability to perform a lot of security controls without requiring any installation of agents, making it very easy to set up."

"With its Cloud Security Posture Management capability, we have the ability to read across all of our cloud-based environments, which includes AWS and Azure. We have visibility into those environments. Seeing all vulnerabilities and configurations is really powerful for us, but ultimately, the ability to use the API to query across the fleet to understand what is the current state, what is the patch level, which ones are potentially exposed for a new CVE that just came out is even more valuable. It allows us to gather really specific intelligence through simple queries."

"Using Orca Security, I have visibility in our environment without depending on another team."

"Orca Security has helped significantly to reduce the time it took to identify or prioritize cloud security alerts because of the way it provides a centralized view of risk and correlated findings across the cloud environment."

"Orca Security saves resources because it provides the actual output on the screen with the package path."

"OrcA Security improved our collaboration because we could explain better to everyone at the company what we were doing and how it positively impacts our security posture."

More Orca Security pros

Cons

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

"There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."

"Areas that need improvement in every solution include the remediation part. The remediation steps should be simple enough for everyone to understand."

"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."

"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."

"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."

"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."

"I think Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its handling of zero-day vulnerabilities and supply chain management because modern ransomware attacks not only target prime critical infrastructures but also the supply chain system."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"On the MacBook, it was a little difficult, probably because of the version that my company is using."

"This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud."

"I think this solution needs better security due to rising threats from the outside world."

"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."

"With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable."

"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."

"This solution is open-source and they need to focus on improving the Linux Operating Systems' GUI. It does not have a GUI making it not user-friendly. Additionally, the containers need to improve security and compliance."

"The solution's stability could be improved."

More Mirantis Container Cloud cons

"I have concerns about OCI support. When I work with Orca Security, the support for OCI is limited, so I cannot effectively work with the OCI environment."

"Orca Security can be improved by adding more connectivity and more integrations because the world is moving so fast that having integrations is really poor compared to other vendors."

"I would like to see an option to do security checks on a code level. This is possible because they have access to all of the code running in the cloud provider, and combining their site-scanning solution with that would be a nice add-on."

"There is one issue that I encountered: when Orca Security provides CVEs and we attempt to implement its solutions, sometimes those solutions are not available on the cloud and cannot be implemented."

"Some dashboards could be a little more personalized for each company and have more options to show the real data we need for our leadership."

"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 could improve its ticket creation process."

"As with all software, the user interface can always be made simpler to use. It would be helpful for people with very little knowledge, like somebody sitting behind the SOC, to allow them to be able to drill down into things a little bit easier than it is currently."

More Orca Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches."

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

"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."

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

"We use the free version of this solution."

More Mirantis Container Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
