Starting Price

Not publicly listed; quote-based; documentation implies licenses map to models + monthly scan caps

AWS Marketplace shows contract dimensions but pricing is effectively "contact sales"; listing includes placeholder values

AWS Marketplace lists a 12-month contract price dimension at a listed enterprise contract price (may be a placeholder or a specific enterprise SKU; requires private offer validation)

Recommended for

Existing Qualys customers seeking AI/LLM risk discovery, scanning, and remediation prioritized through TruRisk, integrated with Qualys agents/scanners and dashboards

Organizations seeking a specialist AI security / AI-SPM platform across prompts, models, identity, data, and infrastructure

Large enterprises seeking lifecycle AI security (discovery, supply chain security, attack simulation, runtime security) with vendor specialization

Key Strength

Integration with existing Qualys discovery/vulnerability workflows and risk scoring

AI-native specialization and MLSecOps capabilities

AI security specialization and full lifecycle framing

Key Weakness

Public evidence is largely vendor-provided; limited independent reviews for TotalAI; licensing constraints (per-model onboarding + scan caps) may limit scale; community feedback indicates potential support complexity

Pricing transparency limited; buyers must validate operational depth and integration with existing stacks

Marketplace price may not reflect actual negotiated pricing; may be resource-intensive and require strong internal AI program maturity
