By implementing Qualys TotalCloud, we wanted a single pane of glass for our cloud-related functions. We wanted to be able to see the security posture and compliance status and also do a vulnerability assessment or remediation. Qualys TotalCloud fulfills all these needs.

QFlow helps automate our remediation efforts. We can automatically do the remediation of vulnerabilities.

Previously, for Azure scanning, there was a very limited scope. We also did not have much scope for compliance. We wanted to have something that could give us this combination of vulnerability assessment and compliance posture. Our compliance posture has improved. We got to know where we are not compliant. All these things have contributed to our organization.

Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IaaS and SaaS. It also provides a single, prioritized view of risk. Previously, we used to follow a traditional method of severity-based remediation, but now, the technology has evolved. With TruRisk, we can now know the exact risk to our organization. It helps with risk prioritization and also saves time.

Qualys has been a market leader for more than 20 years. They have vast information resources. They collect the data for us. We do not have to go out and search for vulnerabilities.

The agent and agentless scanning in TotalCloud, particularly the FlexScan method, is incredibly valuable. With traditional scanning approaches, we had to give IP ranges and whitelist IPs. All that is now simplified. FlexScan requires minimal intervention, and after configuration, it automatically collects data and performs necessary scans. We need to do some configuration in the connector, and it handles the rest of the things. Data compliance, vulnerability assessment, and remediation parts are taken care of by Qualys. We get all the required data. The connector collects all the metadata for our cloud environment. Scans are performed automatically. There is no intervention from our side.

There is room for improvement in vulnerability scanning, particularly for PaaS environments. Currently, Qualys does not have full access to these instances, which limits its effectiveness. We rely on other solutions like Microsoft's Defender for these scenarios and hope Qualys can improve its assessment capabilities for PaaS services.

As an organization, we have been using Qualys TotalCloud for more than three to four years. It was previously known by a different name. They have now standardized all cloud security-related things under TotalCloud.

Qualys TotalCloud is quite stable. I would rate its stability as an eight out of ten.

I would rate its scalability a seven out of ten as there are some aspects we need to explore further.

Their customer support needs improvement. It is not up to mark. While we do get responses, the quality varies considerably based on the expertise of the support individual. We get a better response from a senior person, but we struggle a bit with a less experienced person. It can take three to four days to get an initial reply. I would rate their support a seven out of ten.

We also use Microsoft Defender.

We have a hybrid model. Its deployment is neither easy nor complex. It was a mid-level effort.

We have one tenant, and under that, we have multiple departments such as HR. There are only a few departments that are focused on Azure. Rest all are on-prem. Most things are on-prem, but something that is critical is hybrid. We have five to six people working with Qualys.

It does not require any maintenance from our side.

It is a good product for organizations looking to have a comprehensive view of their vulnerability assessment, remediation, and compliance posture. It is an effective solution.

I would rate Qualys TotalCloud an eight out of ten.
