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.

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation

Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.

Good value for money; great for policy management

Our model of deployment for this solution is on-premises. For people looking into this solution and trying to use it for the first time, I'd say make your life easier by using the SUSE product as well on top of your community scale stack. That makes your integration points a lot easier and smoother. I would also say during your initial setup, make sure that your clusters are already in terms of the capabilities with the version required. I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this rating is that what they offer is solid, but they could expand their service and add more features just to make more things integrated into an enterprise itself.

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."

"CSPM is currently the most used feature, and we are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs."

"I highly recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users."

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk, reducing the workload associated with consolidating multiple sources for risk prioritization."

"The best part I like is the on-demand scans."

"I appreciate Qualys TotalCloud's ability to onboard any type of device with ease, including containers."

"If someone were to ask me to review Qualys TotalCloud, I would summarize it as an end-to-end solution for cloud security with visibility and governance-grade controls without needing to manage multiple disconnected tools."

"Qualys TotalCloud has significantly improved our organization by automating our reporting processes, reducing the time spent on report creation from two hours to less than fifteen to twenty minutes."

More Qualys TotalCloud pros

"Snyk has given us really good results because it is fully automated. We don't have to scan projects every time to find vulnerabilities, as it already stores the dependencies that we are using. It monitors 24/7 to find out if there are any issues that have been reported out on the Internet."

"Snyk's ability to scan all of those every time we build, and keep a running status of them and recheck them daily, is extremely valuable for making us aware of what's going on."

"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Snyk allows us to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."

"Its reports are nice and provide information about the issue as well as resolution. They also provide a proper fix. If there's an issue, they provide information in detail about how to remediate that issue."

"Fugue provides core capabilities that enable visualization, discovery, and compliance automation."

"The best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira."

More Snyk pros

"The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost."

"The UI has a lot of features."

"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."

"The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward."

"When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."

"The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."

Cons

"Qualys TotalCloud has the potential to improve by integrating a hybrid platform for comprehensive management of both on-premises and cloud infrastructures."

"A feature improvement could be the inclusion of Windows OS support for container security, as it is currently only supported for Linux."

"Some major banks and insurance companies require an on-premises solution for comprehensive vulnerability management, which TotalCloud does not offer."

"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."

"TotalCloud could improve its scanning of niche devices like Wi-Fi dongles and USB modems because they are often untested. It covers everything else, like laptops, mobile devices, and Bluetooth IoT devices. They can improve on the small IoT devices because hackers and testers use these."

"I would like the ability to disable certain default built-in policies as they can be misleading when creating dashboards. That is the top one."

"The cost of Qualys TotalCloud is high and could be more competitive."

"The main area needing improvement is integration. Although the team is strengthening TotalCloud, integration can be enhanced with SIEM, SOAR, ITSM, and other sources."

More Qualys TotalCloud cons

"Then there's the issue of their support. It's not very good, to be honest, and it hasn't been the best experience to deal with them."

"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory."

"We've also had technical issues with blocking newly introduced vulnerabilities in PRs and that was creating a lot of extra work for developers in trying to close and reopen the PR to get rid of some areas. We ended up having to disable that feature altogether because it wasn't really working for us and it was actually slowing down developer velocity."

"Because Snyk has so many integrations and so many things it can do, it's hard to really understand all of them and to get that information to each team that needs it... If there were more self-service, perhaps tutorials or overviews for new teams or developers, so that they could click through and see things themselves, that would help."

"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry."

"They were a couple of issues which happened because Snyk lacked some documentation on the integration side."

"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."

"We were using Microsoft Docker images. It was reporting some vulnerabilities, but we were not able to figure out the fix for them. It was reporting some vulnerabilities in the Docker images given by Microsoft, which were out of our control. That was the only limitation. Otherwise, it was good."

More Snyk cons

"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."

"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."

"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."

"The documentation needs to improve a bit."

"I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."

"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."

"Using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved."

"However, I found that the support in Egypt was not very qualified, and there was a need to upgrade to a higher support layer to solve my issues."

More SUSE NeuVector cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although Qualys TotalCloud is relatively expensive due to its unique automation features, its cost-effectiveness is rated an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."

"While Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive and may soon be considered overpriced."

"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."

"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."

"As a middle management member, I do not have direct pricing knowledge, but based on the knowledge from our meetings, its pricing is competitive."

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

"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."

"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."

More Qualys TotalCloud pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."

"It's good value. That's the primary thing. It's not cheap-cheap, but it's good value."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a three. It is a cheap solution."

"The product has good pricing."

"The pricing is acceptable, especially for enterprises. I don't think it's too much of a concern for our customers. Something like $99 per user is reasonable when the stakes are high."

"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."

"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."

"Snyk is a premium-priced product, so it's kind of expensive. The big con that I find frustrating is when a company charges extra for single sign-on (SSO) into their SaaS app. Snyk is one of the few that I'm willing to pay that add-on charge, but generally I disqualify products that charge an extra fee to do integrated authentication to our identity provider, like Okta or some other SSO. That is a big negative. We had to pay extra for that. That little annoyance aside, it is expensive. You get a lot out of it, but you're paying for that premium."

More Snyk pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work."

"SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution."

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."

"The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support."
