Pentera and Qualys TotalCloud compete in the cybersecurity and cloud management space. Pentera has an edge in ease of use and effective security testing, while Qualys TotalCloud leads in comprehensive cloud management and integration capabilities.
Features: Pentera offers automatic security validation, vulnerability prioritization, and effective threat identification. Qualys TotalCloud includes asset discovery, comprehensive reporting, and a holistic view of cloud environments.
Room for Improvement: Pentera could enhance its cloud management features, integrate more extensively with third-party platforms, and offer deeper infrastructure visibility. Qualys TotalCloud could simplify its user interface, increase the speed of its integration process, and improve its threat prioritization methods.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Pentera provides straightforward deployment with quick setup and intuitive use, supported by responsive customer assistance. Qualys TotalCloud requires a more elaborate integration, benefiting complex environments and is backed by comprehensive support services catered to detailed setups.
Pricing and ROI: Pentera offers competitive pricing that often results in strong ROI for security improvements. Qualys TotalCloud, with a higher setup cost, provides long-term ROI through comprehensive management and security, appealing for expansive security coverage.
Some customers consider the ROI favorable, but facing difficulties now due to changes in the licensing model, which has made it more expensive compared to last year.
It has saved about 90% of our time.
TotalCloud has generated overall savings of 30 to 40 percent across various departments.
CallStream helps us integrate and automate tasks.
They are helpful, respond to my queries, and can answer any question.
Qualys's tech support is highly responsive, providing multiple ways to interact with them.
Qualys' customer service provides quality answers, but the response time is long, even though it is within the SLA.
We started our organization about nine months back. We started with about 30 users, and we now have more than 100 users.
Our organization currently uses it to manage over 1200 web applications.
It is absolutely scalable, and I would rate its scalability as nine out of ten.
Overall, the support provided has been excellent.
It is a stable solution, which is why we chose it.
Continuous monitoring is crucial to ensure system stability and avoid vulnerabilities or threats.
When the IP is imported into a system, we cannot withdraw or revoke the license.
Ideally, the scanner should automatically detect and scan all subdomains, even if not explicitly defined, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
Ideally, updates should be more immediate, enabling quicker implementation of solutions.
Our goal is to integrate all these functions into Qualys, creating a single dashboard for comprehensive security monitoring and management.
Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive.
Pricing is managed by our finance team; however, Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility.
Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches.
We can automate the Pentera processes by automatically creating scenarios to validate the system.
This view of risk helps reduce the work we would have to do to combine multiple sources to prioritize risk.
It will help cybersecurity professionals monitor the cloud and find vulnerabilities.
We are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs.

TotalCloud is the Qualys approach to Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) for cloud infrastructure and SaaS environments. With TotalCloud, customers extend TruRisk insights (transparent cyber risk scoring methodology) from the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to their cloud environments allowing for a seamless unified view of cyber risk across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
Features and capabilities of Qualys TotalCloud include, but are not limited to:
Discover: Complete visibility and insights into cyber-risk exposure across multi-cloud. Continuously discover and monitor all your workloads across a multi-cloud environment for a 360-degree view of your cloud footprint. Identify known and previously unknown internet-facing assets for 100% visibility and tracking of risks.
Assess: Comprehensive cloud-native assessments with FlexScanTM. Extensive scanning capabilities with Qualys FlexScan, including no-touch, agentless, API- and snapshot-based scanning, along with agent- and network-based scanning for in-depth assessment. Use these multiple scanning methods to scan a workload to get a unified and comprehensive view of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Prioritize: Unified security view to prioritize cloud risk with TruRiskTM. Experience a unified risk-based view of cloud security with insights across workloads, services, and resources. Qualys TruRisk quantifies security risk by workload criticality and vulnerabilities; it correlates with ransomware, malware, and exploitation threat intelligence to prioritize, trace, and reduce risk.
Defend: Real-time protection against evolving and unknown threats with InstaProtectTM. Qualys enables continuous monitoring of all cloud assets to ensure they are protected against threats and attacks at runtime. Qualys keeps your cloud runtime safe by detecting known and unknown threats across the entire kill chain in near real-time across a multi-cloud environment.
Remediate: Fast remediation with QFlow – no code, drag-and-drop workflows. The integration of QFlow technology into Qualys TotalCloud saves security and DevOps teams valuable time and resources. Automation and no-code, drag-and-drop workflows help simplify the time-consuming operational tasks of assessing vulnerabilities on ephemeral cloud assets, alerting on high-priority threats, remediating misconfigurations, and quarantining high-risk assets.
