Streamlined vulnerability management with efficient threat detection and compliance reporting
The best features that Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting offers include helpful integration for multiple cloud platforms, and it is used for audit compliance. We use features such as CIS Benchmark and cloud compliance, which Check Point CloudGuard provides by default. The integration, such as a read-only feature for reporting, is also very helpful, as it doesn't require any admin rights or changes. The remediation of vulnerabilities or findings or securing cloud configurations is also very helpful for us, allowing me to fix security flaws via Check Point CloudGuard itself. I find myself relying on the CIS Benchmark feature of Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting the most, as it is very helpful on a day-to-day basis to stay up to the current trend. Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to keep fixing our cloud security postures, which is a day-to-day progress based on the open points. I have noticed specific outcomes with Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting, such as a much faster response time, making it easier to address vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations by using reports that help me pinpoint issues, leading to good outputs that keep improving. Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting made our work much easier as it serves as a centralized platform for all my cloud environment and provides workload protection such as malware protection for my entire cloud environment.

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.

Pros

"Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting made our work much easier as it serves as a centralized platform for all my cloud environment and provides workload protection such as malware protection for my entire cloud environment."
"This solution helped me to improve and enhance our security posture."
"During testing, I consistently saw a 70 or 75% faster investigation and reduced analyst workload, which is a concrete way it can deliver our work."
"Orca Security is easier to use than other alternatives; you need a little skill to dominate Orca Security compared to other options and Orca Security is more user-friendly and in this case is more enjoyable."
"With its Cloud Security Posture Management capability, we have the ability to read across all of our cloud-based environments, which includes AWS and Azure. We have visibility into those environments. Seeing all vulnerabilities and configurations is really powerful for us, but ultimately, the ability to use the API to query across the fleet to understand what is the current state, what is the patch level, which ones are potentially exposed for a new CVE that just came out is even more valuable. It allows us to gather really specific intelligence through simple queries."
"It's for protection. It's an agentless tool. We don't need to install anything at a customer's premises. We can just scan the entire assets in the cloud."
"The GUI features are very good. Threat intelligence is also very good."
"I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration."
"The most valuable feature of Orca Security is the automated scanning tool, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"The best features of Orca Security include its ability to perform a lot of security controls without requiring any installation of agents, making it very easy to set up."
"Orca's platform provides an agentless data collection facility that collects information directly from the cloud using APIs, with zero impact on performance."
 

Cons

"Malware protection for my entire cloud environment is an area where improvements are needed."
"The product can be improved by optimizing performance."
"In my testing, Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting's scalability is not easy; it is a very challenging experience for me."
"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."
"In the future, I'd like to see Orca work better with third-party vendors. Specifically, being able to provide sanitized results from third parties."
"I believe they need more time developing this solution, which means they need to be more comprehensive and extended in their approach."
"A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI."
"The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off."
"A notable limitation with Orca Security is its scanning feature. The automatic scan only runs every 24 hours, and if an alert is remediated within an hour, it still remains until the next scheduled scan."
"Orca Security can improve the way that a customer can create auto-remediation without depending on support to do that."
"Customer support is very poor, in my opinion, because when I have a few problems, the customer support says your solution is bad or it is easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."
"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."
"It is the cost of the visibility that you get. When you really sit down and think about what do you need to do to secure an environment with a low impact on the business, and you take a look out into the world, I think this tool is well justified around cost."
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
"Its license is a bit expensive."
"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"The pricing depends on how many assets you have running in your cloud and how many environments you have. If you have a dev environment, test environment, and a production environment then it's really important that you have coverage for all of them."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
