Powerful AppSec Platform with Unified Visibility

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Qualys TotalAppSec from other similar products?

Unlike standalone AppSec tools, Qualys TotalAppSec unifies DAST, API security, and risk prioritization on a single cloud-native platform, with seamless integration into the Qualys ecosystem for continuous visibility and faster remediation

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The unified platform is my favorite feature. It consolidates AppSec capabilities with risk-based prioritization and integrates seamlessly with the Qualys ecosystem, making vulnerability management simpler and more effective

What do you dislike most about this product?

One area that could be improved is the initial learning curve. Because TotalAppSec offers a wide range of capabilities, new users may need some time to become familiar with all its features and workflows. However, once configured, it provides significant value through its unified approach.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Continue enhancing the user experience with a more intuitive Ul, richer reporting, and deeper automation while maintaining the platform's strong unified AppSec capabilities

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Trustworthy
Efficient Service

What differentiates Qualys TotalAppSec from other similar products?

Single pane of glass pretty much which is ideal. Trurisk reporting etc is great for execs. Shadow discovery good. Interface very user friendly. Training for staff is no issue as the resources are all available and the interface is very intuitive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Best interface of all I have used. Features are constantly updated in line with new regulations, requirements. VMDR is all in one solution for us for VM across our entire estate - helping us achieve ce+, iso270

What do you dislike most about this product?

API is limited sometimes especially when it comes to migrating data between subscriptions (tagging, policies etc) but that is probably a bit of a edge case that only applied to us

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We have reviewed many PoCs for similar solutions at iomart and despite many strategy and leadership changes (and recommendations to use tenable etc) we have always stuck with Qualys due to good support, ease of use and good account management, flexible negotiations to meet our requirements.

Pros

Reliable
Trustworthy
Effective Service
Caring
