Cloud security posture changes with time when using Qualys TotalCloud. It depends on how early you detect threats and fix them. Qualys TotalCloud doesn't provide a single prioritized view of risk. The product does what it says it's going to do, so I recommend it. I rate Qualys TotalCloud six out of ten.
Currently, AI access is restricted in our environment. We are testing the outcomes and possibilities. Within two months, we may start using GenAI. I would definitely recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users. If someone is looking for a centralized management tool while using different cloud platforms, Qualys TotalCloud is very helpful. It helps manage and identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It helps with asset management. It helps understand how many AWS or Google Cloud instances are in the environments. I would rate Qualys TotalCloud a ten out of ten.
I definitely recommend other organizations to have this product in their environment. The price is a factor. Smaller organizations might find it unaffordable. However, there are different options depending on the budget, such as purchasing a smaller number of licenses. I highly recommend it. I work for LTI Mindtree, a large organization. Overall, I rate the product nine out of ten.
I recommend using it for posture management if a cloud agent is available. The cloud agent collects information for vulnerabilities and makes it accessible as a single source of information. I would rate Qualys TotalCloud a nine out of ten.

New users should know about the architecture of Qualys TotalCloud and its components and backend infrastructure. Understanding vulnerability detection, AI, threat intelligence, attack vectors, exposure, and risk management is key. They should also read the full user manual and insights from IT professionals. They should learn how to use this solution for threat management. I would rate Qualys TotalCloud an eight out of ten.
I would recommend TotalCloud from the posture management and integration perspectives, as these areas are strong. However, due to limitations in risk and inventory management, one might consider waiting until those features are improved. Overall, I would rate TotalCloud an eight out of ten.

I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten. Qualys TotalCloud is deployed in multiple departments and utilized by over 100 users. Qualys TotalCloud is SaaS-based, so all maintenance is handled by Qualys. The agents update automatically, eliminating the need for user intervention. Reinstallation is only necessary in the rare event of agent corruption. I would definitely recommend Qualys to others. It is a strong competitor in today's market.

I would strongly recommend a Web Application Firewall (WAF) for any business or individual because it protects your information and prevents numerous risks associated with Internet use. I would rate Qualys TotalCloud a ten out of ten.

New users should have a deeper understanding of how to use the cloud API because the extensibility is based on that. If they do not understand how to use the API, it would not be effective for them. TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IaaS and SaaS, but we do not use that. We do not have a use case for that. I would rate TotalCloud an eight out of ten.

I would rate Qualys TotalCloud eight out of ten. Qualys TotalCloud is deployed in one location, and we have two users. No maintenance is required. I recommend Qualys TotalCloud to others. It helps identify vulnerabilities present in the system and simplifies our work.
I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten. Qualys TotalCloud is designed for continuous operation, eliminating the need for scheduled maintenance. It automatically synchronizes with your cloud environment, be it Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Google Cloud, to stay up-to-date. If you have a trusted partner familiar with Qualys, leverage their expertise. Also collaborate with the assigned Qualys Technical Account Manager. Don't hesitate to ask questions; both Qualys' TAMs and the Qualys community are valuable resources. Qualys offers free training and online documentation to help you with most tasks.
