Featured Reviews

Samir Paul - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Secures cloud workloads from build to runtime and has needed simpler setup and alert tuning
Regarding how Aqua Cloud Security Platform can be improved, the first area is the complex initial setup. Deployment and configuration can be complex, especially in large environments that require skilled resources. For Kubernetes environments, initial onboarding and policy setup takes time. Compared to Wiz onboarding, it is not very straightforward, as I have also worked with Wiz. The UI is powerful but not very simple for new users, as navigation and dashboard can be overwhelming. Alert noise and tuning are required because Aqua generates a large number of initial alerts that need tuning to reduce false positives. Additionally, pricing can be high depending on workload scale, especially for large Kubernetes and multi-cloud environments. For improvements to Aqua Cloud Security Platform, I think better integration with SOAR and XDR platforms, more AI-driven prioritization, and providing simpler out-of-the-box policies would be beneficial.
Fredierick Saladas - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Lead at Standard Chartered Bank
Provides superior integration options and comprehensive reporting features
The product could benefit from enhanced integration capabilities with older software systems and more customizable reporting options. Improved support for mobile devices would also be advantageous, allowing team members to access the system more effectively while on the go. In the next release, we would like to see advanced analytics features, including predictive analytics to help forecast project outcomes. Additionally, a more robust mobile app with offline capabilities would be valuable for remote work scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The image security and image scanning were quite easy compared to Prisma, the solution was very user-friendly, easy to set up, stable, and the documentation was robust."
"It is a very good product from an environmental perspective."
"The main reasons we chose Aqua Security were the visibility it provided into the container platform and the great customer service."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"The DTA, which stands for Dynamic Threat Analysis, allows me to analyze Docker images in a sandbox environment before deployment, helping me anticipate risks."
"The most valuable feature of Aqua Security is the scanner."
"From the ROI perspective, Aqua Cloud Security Platform provides value from day one in terms of identifying the posture of the environment, identifying vulnerabilities, and faster remediation."
"Previously, we were using multiple tools for scanning: container image scanning, Kubernetes security, runtime security, CSPM and on the IAC side, then we found one single solution, which is Aqua Cloud Security Platform, so it really added value for our organization."
"They have a professional service team that works alongside their engineering and performance teams."
"I appreciate the features in JFrog DevOps Cloud Platform, especially the efficient file management where downloads and uploads are optimized, saving time. The storage efficiency is also great as it avoids redundancy, which is crucial for our team. It is also quite easy to use, especially for basic commands through the command line. It's straightforward for us internally, and our data is well-hosted on their servers, which makes data location and querying fast and efficient. Moving our storage to JFrog has streamlined our development cycle by eliminating duplicated data, which previously took up extra space locally. This efficiency is crucial for our workflow, although network speeds still play a significant role in performance."
"The most valuable features include task tracking and reporting capabilities."
 

Cons

"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"When it comes to the accuracy and reliability of Aqua Cloud Security Platform's AI capabilities, more work on the AI security side is required."
"Regarding how Aqua Cloud Security Platform can be improved, the first area is the complex initial setup. Deployment and configuration can be complex, especially in large environments that require skilled resources."
"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"The product could benefit from enhanced integration capabilities with older software systems and more customizable reporting options."
"We have encountered stability issues lately, particularly with frequent 500 internal server errors. Despite efforts from our DevOps team to adjust settings, these issues persist, affecting our workflow, especially with machine learning data uploads. Overall, while it's beneficial for storage and accessibility, stability issues need improvement for seamless operations. The occasional occurrence of internal server errors takes several minutes to resolve on their own and can disrupt workflows. Another concern is that sometimes files appear to be successfully uploaded, but then they cannot be downloaded, with no error message indicating the issue during the upload process. This inconsistency needs to be addressed by JFrog to ensure reliable functionality for users like us."
"Our locations are in different environments, so the remote server takes time to catch up, causing replication delays. The engineering team suggested that this issue would be resolved, but I'm not sure if it has been addressed yet. This is more of a feature enhancement that we suggested."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes at a reasonable cost."
"The pricing of this solution could be improved."
"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."
"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."
"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."
"The product pricing is competitive but worth negotiating for volume discounts or longer-term contracts."
"Regarding pricing, I focus on the platform's interface and user communication rather than costs."
