Amandeep Pawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Airy Software Technologies Private Limited
Centralized risk-based workflows have reduced alert fatigue and improve on-time secure delivery
ArmorCode is a strong ASPM platform that provides centralized visibility and risk-based prioritization, and there are several areas where it could be enhanced to improve the user experience and increase adoption across development teams. Improvements could include more AI-powered remediation guidance, improved developer experience, enhanced predictive risk analysis, strong cloud-native visibility such as Kubernetes, custom reporting, and dashboards including custom risk scorecards, team-specific dashboards, and faster onboarding and setup of new security tools. Improvements could also include pre-built integration, automation, automated connector setup, guided onboarding, and better risk connection that assesses criticality, business impact, data sensitivity, and internet exposure. The most important improvements needed are strong cloud-native visibility, enhanced predictive risk analysis, adding AI-powered remediation guidance, and an improved developer experience. Predictive risk analysis is one area that needs enhancement. While ArmorCode is already excellent at centralizing security findings and prioritizing risk, these improvements could further reduce remediation time and make the platform even more valuable for both security and development teams. Enhancing AI-powered remediation guidance would improve developer experience. For AI-powered remediation guidance, instead of only identifying vulnerabilities, ArmorCode could provide detailed fix recommendations, secure code examples, root cause analysis, and automated remediation suggestions.

Cloud Security Engineer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Has helped with regional threat monitoring but needs better documentation and real-time capabilities
The documentation from Microsoft needs significant improvement. The documents are disorganized, with one document linking to another, making the steps unclear and difficult to follow. Regarding updates, it is not truly real-time as it takes between eight to twelve hours for updates to occur. It would be beneficial if updates could happen more quickly, perhaps within 10 minutes to half an hour. Support for integration and documentation needs to be more straightforward. The pricing is expensive, even though it is part of the E5 package.
