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.

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.

Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

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."
"I appreciate Qualys TotalCloud's ability to onboard any type of device with ease, including containers."
"TotalCloud provides the easiest and the best approach for cloud infrastructure management."
"Qualys TotalCloud has improved our security posture."
"Its dashboards are brilliant. It provides in-depth insights."
"Qualys TotalCloud's most valuable features are its cloud security posture management, Kubernetes, and container security capabilities."
"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."
"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"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."
"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."
"It is a one-stop solution for different needs with separate APIs. The product offers different solutions for different companies."
"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the support."
"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."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."
"Two areas for improvement in Qualys TotalCloud are the speed of the public cloud platform and vulnerability detection."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to enhance its scanning capabilities in the IP domain, as it currently lacks the functionality to resolve IPs to their corresponding domain names."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to improve SecureWorks Taegis VDR by enhancing the dashboard to provide a holistic view with granular data."
"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."
"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."
"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. It helps us to manage things with very few resources."
"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."
"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."
"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 offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."
"The pricing is comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."
"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
