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.

Unified monitoring has reduced alert noise and provides accurate, proactive application security
Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made. More customization options for dashboards and reports would help teams tailor the platform to their specific metrics and workflows. I also occasionally encounter DevOps tools that are not yet supported natively. Expanded coverage for niche or emerging tools would make onboarding even smoother. These points, however, are minor compared to the overall value the platform delivers, especially given the strength of its AI-driven detection, remediation, and supply chain protection capabilities. It would also be an improvement for licensing with regard to on-premise variants. Perhaps we could have an on-premise option for standard subscription.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."
"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."
"It is a very good product from an environmental perspective."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"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."
"We use Aqua Security for the container security features."
"<p>Aqua Cloud Security Platform is perfect for us because it has container image scanning, real-time protection, Kubernetes security, and inbuilt cloud security, making it an all-in-one tool.</p>"
"Xygeni provides a comprehensive and developer-friendly approach to securing the entire software supply chain."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
"The best Xygeni feature is the ability to filter what is truly important, which really helps me focus on the key vulnerabilities in the software that I am building."
"The visibility of our open-source supply chain dependencies and real-time detection of vulnerabilities have been invaluable."
"I would like to highlight Xygeni's Core AI function, which makes it easier to understand security information for both technical leaders as well as for those who are higher up in business management, helping make smarter, faster decisions and offering more secure developments in less time."
 

Cons

"I think Aqua Cloud Security Platform can be improved by making the platform easier to integrate and manage across CI/CD environments."
"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting. It provides all the open issues, but no actionable solution is provided."
"What I dislike about Aqua Cloud Security Platform is that we did not find an option to turn off logging or split logs to avoid putting Aqua Cloud Security Platform logs into a logging system because there was a lot of information about logs."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"Aqua Cloud Security Platform could be improved as the UI can feel rough to navigate, and sometimes finding the data I need has a really high learning curve."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"Xygeni can be more automated."
"Xygeni could be improved if on-premise options were available starting from the starter packages, not only the enterprise models."
"Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"I think Xygeni could be improved by having more information in the form of videos in Spanish and more use cases to share it with more prospects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing of this solution could be improved."
"It comes at a reasonable cost."
"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."
