Featured Reviews

Robert Croteau - PeerSpot reviewer
It provides a good overview of our security posture
The most valuable feature is Lacework's ability to distill all the security and audit logs. I recommend it to my customers. Normally, when I consult for other customers that are getting into the cloud, we use native security tools. It's more of a rule-based engine. They have to go in and put their policies in place. It's hard for them to implement that, especially if they don't have a real security team. The team's policymakers don't do anything. Lacework takes out all the noise and gives them bits of things that actually matter with the application after it learns the behavior.
Shakeel Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
Brilliant audit report and scorecard but scans often get blocked by firewalls
The solution cannot scan third-party tools that have firewalls within them. The firewalls detect and block the solution. Conversely, Nexus is able to bypass firewalls because it has low detectability. We use Nexus when the solution cannot bypass a firewall. The solution can scan 60% of the time but Nexus can scan 90% of the time. The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results. Nexus has a good, long range and a good database for finding CVC numbers. We need this level of security detail but the solution does not seem to provide it.
