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

"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."

"The solution overall is good, all of the features are useful and working well for us, the technical support provided is excellent, the solution is very good at preventing intrusions, you can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security, the pricing of the solution is fair, and the interface of the solution is quite stable."

"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."

"When you implement FortiDB in your environment, you get the benefit of three important features: VA, Auditing and Alerting."

"It's relatively inexpensive in comparison to everything else that has the same functionality."

"It is a good solution for database monitoring."

"Customer support for this solution is good."

"It is a very good solution, and every day the company is updating and developing its devices."

More Fortinet FortiDB [EOL] pros

"The GUI features are very good. Threat intelligence is also very good."

"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."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers."

"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."

"We had many issues with the performance and the appliance resource management."

"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."

"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."

"Some use case analyses could be improved."

"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."

"Some use case analyses could be improved."

"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."

More Fortinet FortiDB [EOL] cons

"The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off."

"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 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."

"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."

"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options. They're working on that, but the more the better. For example, if they want you to harden a server, they would offer a hardening script that would be more aware of what's going on."

"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."

"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection. While we have pretty good confidence that it's going to detect some of the static malware, some of the detections are heuristics. There could be a growth in the library from where they're pulling their information, but we don't get a lot of those alerts based on the design of our products. In general, that might be an area that needs to be filled since they offer it as a service within it."

"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost needs to be reduced."

"In the licensing model, the licenses are a little bit expensive."

"It is not expensive."

"It is not costly."

"It's relatively inexpensive in comparison to everything else that has the same functionality. If you're looking at SonicWall or if you're looking at WatchGuard, their prices are about a third higher with relatively the same functionality."

"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."

"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 Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."

"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."

"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."

"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."

"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."
