Agentless cloud security has improved attack path visibility but still needs stronger real-time blocking
Yes, as per my experience, it has been very helpful. In our organization, we did not find any major or priority one kind of alerts or risks because we had a very good infrastructure structure and cybersecurity architecture built in our organization. Orca Security helped us find what vulnerabilities or gaps existed which we could improve within our architecture. It helped us in such a way that we used to close the open ports and only allowed internal IPs for necessity. For staging environments and for prod we had DOS protection. If network traffic showed that anybody was trying to flood our systems, we would only accept all and our client-related IPs or an approved list of vendor lists we would have. We would get to know where the gaps are and where the improvements we could make. Being an analyst class engineer, I could use my brain in those areas and it was very helpful to have Orca Security in my arsenal.

Continuous code security has reduced vulnerabilities and provides real-time risk visibility
I have a big improvement in mind for Wiz Code, not a small improvement. When I look at tools such as vulnerability detection tools, I focus on how the reporting could help fast-track risk mitigations. I don't want folks to just look at the severity rating, whether it's critical, high, or medium. I would love to see how that presents a risk. Meaning that if a particular vulnerability is compromised, it could be a low severity, but if it's compromised, what business impact does it have? With capabilities we have in AI and other technologies, I think we could do much more than just sharing vulnerability ratings or severity ratings for folks to act on. That approach is outdated. Something that communicates the value would make sense and could help drive or change habits. That's what I'm thinking, and that's why I say it's a big one, not just something small.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Orca is much better than their competitor; they're the best in their space, they're the best in the security tool industry, and they're probably the best in terms of companies that I've worked with in general."
"Orca Security integration was one of the easiest we have done because it is cloud-native and agentless."
"I recommend Orca Security to others looking for a cloud security solution due to its seamless integration and side-scanning technology that does not hamper cloud asset performance."
"Orca's SideScanning is the biggest feature. It's the 'wow' factor... With Orca's SideScanning, they just need permissions for your account and that makes it so simple."
"Before starting with Orca, I was blind; think about someone who was blind and now they can see, it's a new world."
"Orca Security saves resources because it provides the actual output on the screen with the package path."
"It covers our entire multi-cloud environment in a single view and tells us everything we need to know about our vulnerability footprint."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"In my opinion, all the security features Wiz Code offers are the best."
"The best features with Wiz Code give you a reasonable picture when it comes to vulnerabilities, which means you see the usual severity levels, you also get to see references on how to remediate vulnerabilities, and the fact that it has a visual dashboard helps all stakeholders, especially folks who need to remediate, to get that picture correctly and then take action."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted my organization through the unified platform that gives the ability to shift left in security and detect issues before they go into production."
 

Cons

"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it."
"Orca Security can be improved as there should be some kind of central pane of glass. Similar to how cloud management works, Orca Security should have something comparable."
"I would like to see an option to do security checks on a code level."
"The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off."
"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."
"We are PCI DSS compliant, so we need to scan our environment externally with tools vetted by the PCI DSS organization; Orca doesn't scan the environment externally and only scans what's currently in the cloud."
"I would like to see better customization options for security frameworks and better integration with reporting tools like Power BI or Grafana dashboards."
"Orca needs improvement in snoozing or dismissing specific alarms. Currently, snoozing dismisses all future vulnerabilities related to a CVE."
"I have a big improvement in mind for Wiz Code, not a small improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."
"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."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"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 Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
