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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively
Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Improved threat intelligence has enabled us to prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities efficiently
In my opinion, the best features VulnCheck offers are its vulnerability intelligence, exploitation tracking, and risk-based prioritization. I find the threat context especially useful because it helps us identify vulnerabilities that are more likely to be exploited and focus our remediation efforts accordingly. The exploitation tracking feature has helped my team because it helps us understand which vulnerabilities are being actively exploited or are more likely to be targeted. This gives us better context when prioritizing vulnerabilities and helps the team focus on urgent remediation instead of treating all vulnerabilities equally. Another useful feature is threat intelligence context around vulnerabilities. It helps us connect vulnerability information with real-world threats, which makes prioritization and communication with the vulnerability management team easier. Overall, it helps us focus on the vulnerabilities that present the most immediate risk. VulnCheck has impacted my organization positively by helping us improve how we prioritize vulnerabilities by giving us better threat and exploitation context. Instead of focusing only on severity scores, we can identify vulnerabilities that have a higher likelihood of being exploited. This helps us use our security resources more effectively and respond to higher risk vulnerabilities faster. VulnCheck has helped us improve vulnerability prioritization and reduce the time spent reviewing a large number of vulnerabilities. We are able to focus faster on vulnerabilities with active exploitation and higher threat relevance. I do not have a specific organization-wide metric to share, but the main improvements have been more efficient prioritization and better context of remediation decisions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is extensibility."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its cloud security posture management, Kubernetes, and container security capabilities."
"The biggest strengths of Qualys TotalCloud are that it is pretty good at cloud visibility, has easy integration, and also has multi-cloud compatibility."
"TotalCloud has been excellent in providing us with immediate access to all the products and features we need, such as CSPM, TruRisk Insights, and compliance reports, including CIS and HIPAA."
"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"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"
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
"If you are looking for a one-stop solution for vulnerability management that offers lower costs and superior visibility into vulnerabilities, then VulnCheck is the right choice."
"VulnCheck has shifted the mindset within my organization and my partners from a reactive to a more proactive approach."
"VulnCheck offers the best features including time saving and money saving, having no occupancy for the remote connection, connection, and data transformation; it is a very good product for transforming data from one way to another."
"VulnCheck has impacted my organization positively by helping us improve how we prioritize vulnerabilities by giving us better threat and exploitation context."
"Overall, VulnCheck has increased operational efficiency, helped us maintain better network availability, and enabled us to provide more reliable service to our users."
"We see improvement in our vulnerability visibility and remediation process with VulnCheck, as it helps us in identifying and prioritizing the critical vulnerabilities faster and also helps us track the vulnerabilities more efficiently, providing clear reports to the relevant teams."
"The clear prioritization based on risk is probably the biggest day-to-day benefit."
"With VulnCheck's early exploit visibility, I can remediate vulnerabilities quickly, making timely decisions before the vulnerabilities are known to the public and hackers."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."
"In TotalCloud, I would suggest improvements in policy checks to cater to various inventory types like VPCs, subnets, S3 buckets, or IAMs. There is a lack of data segregation according to criticality or inventory."
"Regarding improvements to Qualys TotalCloud, I suggest that user navigation can be enhanced because initially, many users found it complicated and had trouble understanding the platform due to information being spread across multiple tabs."
"In my opinion, what can be improved in Qualys TotalCloud includes pricing and container scanning."
"I chose a rating of nine out of ten because there is a complex interface that sometimes overwhelms new engineers."
"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."
"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."
"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
"I chose a rating of nine for VulnCheck because some parts, such as the implementation aspect and the patch remediation trackers, are lacking."
"VulnCheck's UI and reporting can be improved for better visibility."
"VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data."
"Regarding VulnCheck's AI capabilities, I find that it currently lacks AI-driven capabilities."
"VulnCheck could be improved by making the interface even more intuitive and adding more customization around how information is displayed and reviewed; more detailed reporting and clearer explanations when a verification result needs attention would also be helpful, and these improvements would make the workflow quicker, especially for users who are new to the platform."
"What keeps it from being a ten is that I would like to see more integrations, deeper remediation guidance, and more customization options for risk prioritization."
"VulnCheck is a really good tool, but it could be improved with a more user-friendly dashboard and also with more detailed vulnerability context."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I am not sure about the pricing. From what I understand, it is a bit on the higher side, but I do not have the exact numbers."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."
"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."
"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers competitive pricing given its comprehensive suite of features, including integration, assessment, remediation, and detection capabilities, all within a single platform."
"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
