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.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of Qualys' best features is its categorization, which allows us to see the types of assets, their security postures, and the AI-powered version of the tool."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment for IaaS and SaaS and a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce my workload by not having to combine multiple sources."
"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view based on requirements such as identifying the most vulnerable assets and calculating the average time to remediate vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the consolidated information that it provides from various platforms."
"Once you have your vulnerabilities fixed and your patches pushed out using Qualys TotalCloud, then you are able to eliminate threats and cyber risk."
"While automatic inventory detection upon connection is a helpful feature, a truly valuable capability would be assessing an environment's security posture against Azure and CIS best practices."
"Qualys TotalCloud has helped us view our risk structure, vulnerabilities, and security posture."
"They have multiple great features."
"For any organization who want to think of moving to Wiz, the Security Graph feature is amazing and awesome, giving you deeper information than any other tools does and allowing a small security team to manage a massive complex cloud environment without hiring dozens of additional users to look into it."
"One of the things that Wiz has done well is that there are no agents for the CSPM, at least from what we are doing, and it is very easy to roll out, easy to configure, maintain, and generally it does what it says it does with few issues."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."
"The biggest impact Wiz has had on our organization is improved visibility and better prioritization, as previously mentioned."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"The most valuable feature of Wiz is that it keeps information up to date without needing to perform scans or schedule maintenance windows. It provides a fresh snapshot of our vulnerability metrics."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"Wiz positively impacts my organization, especially since we are in the insurance sector where data security is paramount."
 

Cons

"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."
"The support is not up to the mark and seems to be overburdened."
"There should be improvement from a dashboard perspective when collecting and showcasing data to lead management."
"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 appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
"Their support could be improved."
"Qualys TotalCloud has the potential to improve by integrating a hybrid platform for comprehensive management of both on-premises and cloud infrastructures."
"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."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
"More or less, Wiz is doing well, but the false alerts at random times would be another area for improvement."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"FinOps is an area where Wiz needs enhancement."
"There is room for improvement in Wiz, particularly in operator management, as general operators may lack the necessary knowledge, requiring an easier-to-understand tool."
"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"While Wiz provides excellent data and reports, sometimes the suggested fixes for vulnerabilities are not always accurate based on our code compatibility."
"I choose eight out of ten because there is always room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TotalCloud's price is about right where I would expect it to be."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."
"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."
"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 comparable. It is built into our other product, so I cannot piecemeal it. It is a part of our subscription."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers good pricing that is affordable and competitive with the market. Our partnership also provides us with additional benefits."
Information not available
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."
"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."
