Orca Security has helped significantly to reduce the time it took to identify or prioritize cloud security alerts because of the way it provides a centralized view of risk and correlated findings across the cloud environment.

Orca Security is very good for faster management due to their CNAP, which stands for Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, consolidating CSPM, CWPM, CWPP, and CAEM, including entitlement management and vulnerability scanning, into a single platform so we can check data-related security posture management across various domains, including security and multi-cloud compliance, and put security at the forefront rather than waiting until project completion.

Orca Security saves resources because it provides the actual output on the screen with the package path.

Orca Security integration was one of the easiest we have done because it is cloud-native and agentless.

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.

Orca Security has helped me in preventing risks and attacks across my application life cycle by being the base of the whole secure development life cycle I implemented in my previous experience, which was crucial for detecting vulnerabilities both in development and runtime.

Jul 2, 2026
I would say one area I would like to see CNAPP platforms get is more intelligence when it comes to risk prioritization, which correlates with vulnerability, exposing assets, identities, and active threats to help the security team focus on risks that are more likely to be exploited.

I work in an SMB organization and find Orca Security quite expensive.

The difference between agentless and agent solutions is that while agentless provides great visibility, it does not offer real-time blocking.

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.

I think the downside of Orca Security is the reports.

Orca Security could support its own ticketing tool, which would be helpful for security personnel so they would not need to integrate with any other ticketing tool.

I believe they need more time developing this solution, which means they need to be more comprehensive and extended in their approach.

Orca Security can be improved by adding more connectivity and more integrations because the world is moving so fast that having integrations is really poor compared to other vendors.

Some visualizations and dashboards in Orca Security were not as clear to me; even though I can edit and modify them as much as I prefer, the dashboards that came with the application were not ideal.
