We have seen an 80 to 90% reduction in vulnerability noise, a 60 to 80% reduction in triage and patching time, and managed to save 50% of costs because many things are handled by Sweet Security itself.

Sweet Security is a better tool and provides layer-by-layer protected environments, and with Sweet Security for cloud, security is totally under control.

Before we had Sweet Security, upon any type of detection of activity, we needed to conduct lots of investigations in different platforms and logs until we could build the larger picture, but once we inserted Sweet Security, we are able to actually see each and every request being made from the application level towards the infrastructure, making it much easier and reducing the time for an analyst to understand what's really happening.

The value we see from having real-time visibility into our cloud environment is significant, as Sweet Security serves as our eyes and ears inside AWS, telling us what we are doing wrong so we can fix it.

The value of having real-time visibility in our cloud environment with Sweet Security changes everything because it differentiates between identifying and reacting to something that is not really a risk and something that is truly a risk that needs to be treated.

One thing I think Sweet Security can definitely improve is that they have a lot of features, but the UI right now is not so well designed in my opinion.

The option to run specific playbooks through Sweet Security platform would help us a lot, but these must be fully customizable.

One area for improvement could be the alerts, as we have an issue with the alert time, the time it takes for the system to send the alert, but besides that, there is nothing special.
