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.

Detailed container image reports have improved vulnerability insight and support secure operations
Most valuable are the reports that are quite good, particularly the detailed ones for container image scanning. Tenable.io Container Security is giving me the vulnerability information of Docker images and the information about software bill of materials. However, my challenge at this time is that I am using all these solutions with GitLab Ultimate, and it does not support integration, so I am doing some alternate arrangements which are giving me operational complexity because I need to introduce something else instead of GitLab Ultimate. That is the primary concern regarding the benefits of real-time visibility into my containerized application security status.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"TotalCloud offers a comprehensive suite of features, including EDR, XDR, and TrueRisk, providing a centralized platform for managing vulnerabilities and security risks."
"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"One of the most valuable features of Qualys TotalCloud is FlexScan, which is specifically for internet-facing VMs. We found this feature to be very useful. It was a key differentiator for us."
"The best feature would be the ability to create policies. It is easy to control and update policies as required."
"In my opinion, this is the best tool."
"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."
"I appreciate TotalCloud's real-time protection and remediation features. The remediation options include automated one-click remedies and custom changes that help manage vulnerabilities efficiently."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting."
"It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."
"By using Nessus, we are able to finish testing with assured results, in half the time."
"Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security."
"Most valuable are the reports that are quite good, particularly the detailed ones for container image scanning."
"It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."
"The solution shows you the exploitable vulnerabilities and helps you prioritize."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
"Deep Security is a really innovative security solution in the world of software-defined data centers and in the NSX space."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"The most valuable feature is the direct link to AWS to tell me if a new instance created is unprotected."
"It is a scalable solution. If required, we can scale it more. That's not an issue...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product, which gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"If you need a versatile solution that covers many different needs or requirements, Trend Micro Deep Security is very good."
 

Cons

"To improve the user experience, reporting could be simplified for better comprehension by end users and project managers, facilitating issue resolution."
"We encountered challenges identifying the correct resource category for certain items, such as those in containers or storage."
"The onboarding process is a bit difficult. In the initial phase, it is very difficult to understand the features, what the dashboard contains, and what criteria they are using."
"The areas in the solution that have room for improvement include the UI/UX design, which should be improved, and they should integrate more artificial intelligence into the product."
"It is already perfect, but they can bring some newer dashboards and customization options for the dashboard. It would be great to be able to include on-prem assets on the dashboard."
"Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its accuracy for non-Windows operating systems."
"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."
"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."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls."
"The initial setup is highly complex."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed."
"I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners."
"The level of technical support is just regular. They failed to advise how to carry out the setup and this caused serious drawbacks with interoperability between virtual machines."
"The technical support could be better. Whenever an issue is raised, we need to wait for a long time for technical support to resolve it."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"I would like to see XDR features and endpoint sensor become available."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue."
