Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.
CHINTAN MEHTA - PeerSpot reviewer
Consolidating security tools with comprehensive cloud visibility
The documentation for Orca Security could be improved. The compliance framework also needs enhancements, especially concerning integrations with other tools like ServiceNow's vulnerability modules, which are not as mature as expected. It should also increase its capability to ingest data from other security tools like CloudSight for endpoint detection and provide real-time monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is excellent, and I highly recommend it."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"The most valuable feature of PingSafe is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software."
"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."
"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"The remediation process is good."
"It's helped with misconfigurations."
"We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."
"The solution offers an excellent price, benefit, and installation relationship."
"The product enables us to check the information that goes out of the company."
"It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment."
"The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."
"The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring."
"It learns from behavior, attacks, management, detections, captures packets, real-time analysis, et cetera. It's generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis."
"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."
"Another valuable feature with Orca, something that's not talked about enough, is its ability to rank your gaps and your tasks... You can get visibility with agents and there are a lot of ways to do that. But the ranking and the context across the entire environment, that is what is unique about Orca."
"The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers."
"I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration."
"Orca Security has updated its interface, making it more user-friendly. I find it particularly useful as it allows me to easily navigate the dashboard and prioritize actions based on severity and criticality."
"Orca Security has patented technologies. It's an agentless solution, so you don't need to install an agent. Instead, it contacts your account provider and fetches metadata, eliminating the need for snapshots or reserved space to copy client infrastructure."
"With its Cloud Security Posture Management capability, we have the ability to read across all of our cloud-based environments, which includes AWS and Azure. We have visibility into those environments. Seeing all vulnerabilities and configurations is really powerful for us, but ultimately, the ability to use the API to query across the fleet to understand what is the current state, what is the patch level, which ones are potentially exposed for a new CVE that just came out is even more valuable. It allows us to gather really specific intelligence through simple queries."
"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background."
"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"Integration could be improved."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
"For businesses with varied IT ecosystems, increasing the integration capabilities with additional third-party products and services would increase flexibility and user-friendliness."
"CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards."
"I would like to see some AI on the back-end, just to assist with doing analysis and making recommendations."
"The shift left part is not yet at a maturity level I desire. I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle."
"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection. While we have pretty good confidence that it's going to detect some of the static malware, some of the detections are heuristics. There could be a growth in the library from where they're pulling their information, but we don't get a lot of those alerts based on the design of our products. In general, that might be an area that needs to be filled since they offer it as a service within it."
"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."
"A notable limitation with Orca Security is its scanning feature. The automatic scan only runs every 24 hours, and if an alert is remediated within an hour, it still remains until the next scheduled scan."
"The presentation of the data in the dashboard is a little bit chaotic."
"Orca needs improvement in snoozing or dismissing specific alarms."
"I think Orca could give me more alerts. It could give me a dashboard with all the specific types of alerts I want to see for the day. It should just be one click."
"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."
"Orca Security could improve its ticket creation process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"The license fee is high."
"The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
"The price is on the higher end."
"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."
"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."
"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."
"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
"It is the cost of the visibility that you get. When you really sit down and think about what do you need to do to secure an environment with a low impact on the business, and you take a look out into the world, I think this tool is well justified around cost."
"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."
