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.

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.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics
Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I found the initial setup user-friendly."
"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other customers."
"TotalCloud's best feature is the integration of cloud accounts. It helps with the risk and security posture management of our cloud infrastructure."
"Qualys TotalCloud helps you not just to identify misconfigurations, but you can actually also fix issues."
"It is a cloud-native app that integrates with both IaaS and SaaS. It seamlessly integrates with other platforms."
"Qualys TotalCloud has helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."
"I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."
"Qualys TotalCloud is an excellent platform, and the beauty of the platform is that we can get all the vulnerabilities, see all the reports in a single dashboard, view them segregated, and easily learn about critical, high, and medium findings with appropriately provided remediation steps."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"It's definitely not complex, it is pretty user-friendly and it's a solid tool enterprise to use."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be to focus on risks related to AI, such as large language models and potential data leakage."
"Although TotalCloud is a helpful tool, some of its advanced features are still under development."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The patching process with Qualys Patch Management, which is part of TotalCloud, does not cover installing certain prerequisites on the servers or workstations. This shortcoming means we must rely on SCCM when any service stack updates or additional prerequisites are needed."
"The support process is inefficient due to the excessive number of replies required when submitting tickets."
"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."
"I sometimes have difficulty detecting or uninstalling certain versions of applications, which I have to do manually."
"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"There is a clear roadmap for improvements, including enhancing capabilities with AI and seamless functionality in an MSP model for deeper visibility across multiple agencies. Further development is anticipated to continue enhancing the solution."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"In my opinion, sometimes it takes a long time to give solutions or resolve the issue."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
