Helps increase cloud visibility on different platforms, very stable product and quick to deploy
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."

What is our primary use case?

Some of the customers use it to actually look at their assets in the cloud.

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.

How has it helped my organization?

It helps increase cloud visibility on different platforms. And also in terms of the security vulnerability in the cloud space. They recommend specific steps as well. 

What needs improvement?

Actually, it's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds.  

Therefore, there is room for improvement, and more private clouds should be added. For the private cloud, we need to install agents into the environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far, we haven't faced any complaints at all after two years. 

So, it has been a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Many enterprises that have lesser workloads in the cloud, so there's no point in them monitoring themselves.  So those who have heavy workloads on the cloud need this tool too.

So it can handle large loads of information.

How are customer service and support?

 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

There is another company who copies them, like people from Wiz.

Theinterface is different, and we don't have a lot of updated stuff. They are copying Orca Security, and they are not the patent holder. The patent holder is Orca.

How was the initial setup?

This product is very fast to onboard; it takes just five minutes. 

You just need to input the admin credentials for the cloud provider, meaning AWS, Azure, and Google. You can just pull it on, and then Orca covers the entire report already.

There's no need for integration because everything is on the cloud. That's why it's agentless.

Just a few steps for onboarding. It is really quick to deploy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads.  

If we look at one feature, it might be expensive. But if we're considering all the features they offer in monitoring and scanning, there aren't many tools out there that can do all they do in one tool. So if you compare that, then this is not really expensive. But if we compare just one feature, then it is more expensive than the others.

The user needs to utilize it as a package. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend it. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because it needs to expand more to support all the markets. They are not there yet.

Not all private clouds are supported, for example, SAP Cloud.
