Sr Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Risk-based triage has transformed container security and now prioritizes high-impact threats
The best features Qualys TotalCloud offers currently include managing cloud infrastructure and container security while facing major challenges such as alert fatigue. Traditional vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of CVEs on short-lived Kubernetes containers, some of which have no internet exposure or are gone before we can even triage them. I leverage Qualys TotalCloud to move beyond static CVSS. I use it to implement runtime exposure, correlation risk reprioritization, and shift-left integration. This notifies developers to fix a base image upstream rather than patching live ephemeral instances. In my work with cloud and container security, the biggest operational hurdle was alert fatigue. I use Qualys to shift left from static CVSS severity to context-aware risk prioritization. I correlated raw vulnerability data with real-time risk factors such as public network exposure, active runtime execution, or overly permissive IAM roles. This allows us to immediately drop the priority of isolated containers and escalate lower-severity CVEs that sit on an exposed, high-risk path. We can map these findings directly back to our CI/CD pipelines so developers can patch the root base images upstream. We have drastically cut down the signal-to-noise ratio, saved a lot of manual hours doing triage work, and ensured engineering effort goes directly towards high-impact risk reduction.

Easy to deploy, scalable, but the UI needs work
We use the solution for LLC merchants, threat advisories, and research The solution is adding a more contextually rich and higher fidelity enrichment to our IOCs. Integration is the most valuable feature. The web front end of the UI is a bit clunky and has room for improvement. I would like a…

Improved threat intelligence has enabled us to prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities efficiently
In my opinion, the best features VulnCheck offers are its vulnerability intelligence, exploitation tracking, and risk-based prioritization. I find the threat context especially useful because it helps us identify vulnerabilities that are more likely to be exploited and focus our remediation efforts accordingly. The exploitation tracking feature has helped my team because it helps us understand which vulnerabilities are being actively exploited or are more likely to be targeted. This gives us better context when prioritizing vulnerabilities and helps the team focus on urgent remediation instead of treating all vulnerabilities equally. Another useful feature is threat intelligence context around vulnerabilities. It helps us connect vulnerability information with real-world threats, which makes prioritization and communication with the vulnerability management team easier. Overall, it helps us focus on the vulnerabilities that present the most immediate risk. VulnCheck has impacted my organization positively by helping us improve how we prioritize vulnerabilities by giving us better threat and exploitation context. Instead of focusing only on severity scores, we can identify vulnerabilities that have a higher likelihood of being exploited. This helps us use our security resources more effectively and respond to higher risk vulnerabilities faster. VulnCheck has helped us improve vulnerability prioritization and reduce the time spent reviewing a large number of vulnerabilities. We are able to focus faster on vulnerabilities with active exploitation and higher threat relevance. I do not have a specific organization-wide metric to share, but the main improvements have been more efficient prioritization and better context of remediation decisions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once you have your vulnerabilities fixed and your patches pushed out using Qualys TotalCloud, then you are able to eliminate threats and cyber risk."
"I would rate Qualys TotalCloud ten out of ten."
"I would recommend Qualys TotalCloud to other users because it is cost-efficient and has a good return on investment."
"Qualys TotalCloud is an excellent platform, and the beauty of the platform is that we can get all the vulnerabilities, see all the reports in a single dashboard, view them segregated, and easily learn about critical, high, and medium findings with appropriately provided remediation steps."
"Qualys TotalCloud helps you not just to identify misconfigurations, but you can actually also fix issues."
"My experience with using TruRisk to mitigate noise from raw CVEs has been great."
"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."
"Vulnerability and threat detection and assessment of the criticality of the vulnerabilities exposed are most valuable."
"Integration is the most valuable feature."
"VulnCheck offers the best features including time saving and money saving, having no occupancy for the remote connection, connection, and data transformation; it is a very good product for transforming data from one way to another."
"VulnCheck has shifted the mindset within my organization and my partners from a reactive to a more proactive approach."
"VulnCheck has impacted my organization positively by helping us improve how we prioritize vulnerabilities by giving us better threat and exploitation context."
"We have observed a measurable reduction in our vulnerability backlog since using VulnCheck, estimating a decrease of 20% to 35% for high-priority vulnerabilities and reducing our mean time to remediation for critical vulnerabilities by around 30%."
"Overall, VulnCheck has increased operational efficiency, helped us maintain better network availability, and enabled us to provide more reliable service to our users."
"If you are looking for a one-stop solution for vulnerability management that offers lower costs and superior visibility into vulnerabilities, then VulnCheck is the right choice."
"The clear prioritization based on risk is probably the biggest day-to-day benefit."
"Overall, VulnCheck has positively impacted my organization by making our verification workflow more organized and efficient; it reduces some of the repetitive manual checking and gives the team a more consistent way to review information, which helps us save time and focus more on tasks that require actual analysis or decision making."
 

Cons

"With the growing integration of AI, I would like Qualys to enhance its service offerings to better accommodate AI-related risks."
"Regarding technical support from Qualys, they respond, but the response time can be too long. Sometimes we need to wait weeks for solutions to simple questions."
"From a downside perspective, the UI is not user-friendly and feels dated compared to other tools like Prisma Cloud."
"The response part of the Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) module can be improved."
"One of the things that could be improved is the alerts. Qualys is a fantastic tool, especially with the TruRisk feature, but one challenge that most leaders face involves alert fatigue."
"I would appreciate additional integration options to connect Qualys TotalCloud with our other vulnerability management tools."
"I think Qualys TotalCloud needs to improve its handling of zero-day vulnerabilities and supply chain management because modern ransomware attacks not only target prime critical infrastructures but also the supply chain system."
"The price is very expensive, actually."
"I would like a more universal search."
"VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data."
"I chose a rating of nine for VulnCheck because some parts, such as the implementation aspect and the patch remediation trackers, are lacking."
"What keeps it from being a ten is that I would like to see more integrations, deeper remediation guidance, and more customization options for risk prioritization."
"VulnCheck could be improved by making the interface even more intuitive and adding more customization around how information is displayed and reviewed; more detailed reporting and clearer explanations when a verification result needs attention would also be helpful, and these improvements would make the workflow quicker, especially for users who are new to the platform."
"VulnCheck is a really good tool, but it could be improved with a more user-friendly dashboard and also with more detailed vulnerability context."
"Regarding VulnCheck's AI capabilities, I find that it currently lacks AI-driven capabilities."
"VulnCheck's UI and reporting can be improved for better visibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is high, but it meets our organizational needs."
"Its price seems higher compared to other tools, but it is worth it. If they could adjust the pricing and make it comparable with other tools, that would be great."
"Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility."
"Qualys TotalCloud is expensive."
"Qualys TotalCloud is cost-efficient and was selected for its value compared to other products."
"I am not sure about the pricing. From what I understand, it is a bit on the higher side, but I do not have the exact numbers."
"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."
"The pricing for TotalCloud is attractive and competitive in the market. Given the features, especially the dashboard, I have no concerns regarding pricing."
