Skybox Security Suite requires improvements in UI, web access, reporting, integration, pricing, support, cloud connectivity, and data processing.
Another improvement is in handling alerts for multiple files with the same CVE; it should provide an option to manage each file separately without affecting others.

Featured Reviews

reviewer2800203 - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Cloud posture management has improved remediation and optimizes costs with contextual risk insights
Since I have not used Orca Security for 10 months, I am uncertain what areas still need improvement, as they may have rolled out features that addressed issues I faced in the past. However, I can say the tool is good. A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI. What I observed is that they release updates to the platform without notifying the customer. Every time the UI is upgraded, they release something without notification. This could be a slight improvement. If they released some kind of notification to just inform the customer about UI changes, the customer would be aware of the changes that Orca Security is making in the backend.

Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Tool identifies vulnerabilities and monitors connectivity effectively
Skybox Security Suite was a very good tool for my organization. I used it for monitoring connectivity between internal and external sites, monitoring our AWS instances, and ensuring workstations and Layer 3 devices met security specifications. The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches, but unfortunately, operations ceased before completing a migration to SaaS.
