We performed a comparison between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and AWS GuardDuty based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."All the features we use are equal and get the job done."
"Cloud Native Security helps us discover vulnerabilities in a cloud environment like open ports that allow people to attack our environment. If someone unintentionally opens a port, we are exposed. Cloud Native Security alerts us so we can remediate the problem. We can also automate it so that Cloud Native Security will fix it."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"PingSafe can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"From day one, you get threat intelligence. It will immediately block active threats, which has been useful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"The most valuable features are the single system for data collection and the alert mechanisms."
"Since our environment is cloud based and accessible from the internet, we like the ability to check where the user has logged in from and what kind of API calls that user is doing."
"Deployment is great, and we didn't face any big challenges."
"It helps us detect brute-force attacks based on machine learning."
"The solution provides AWS GuardDuty S3 protection, EKS runtime protection, and malware protection."
"The solution will detect abnormalities in the AWS workload and alert us so that we can monitor and take action."
"We use the tool for threat detection. AWS includes AI features as well. AWS GuardDuty gives us reports."
"It kinda just gives us another layer of security. So it does provide some sort of comfort that we do have something that is monitoring for abnormal behavior."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."
"When we get a new finding from PingSafe, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the PingSafe platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."
"After closing an alert in Cloud Native Security, it still shows as unresolved."
"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."
"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"The long-term management of the security policies could be improved with some kind of automation platform, something like Chef or Puppet or Ansible, to help you manage the policies after day-one... to then manage the policies and changes to those policies, going forward, through some type of automation process is not turning out to be really easy."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"Needs more customization of honeypots and a vaster catalog of systems able to be mimicked."
"Because it's a threat detection service, they need to keep up with the various threat factors because new threat factors and attack factors come up all the time."
"It is evolving, and at the moment, I will just need it on a larger scale. Then, it will satisfy my demand, initially."
"Some of the pain points in Amazon GuardDuty was the cost. When compared to some of the other services, depending on how many we had to monitor, if we had a huge range of accounts, as our accounts increased, we had a cost factor that came into play. Sometimes there were issues, for example, with findings that came up, we wanted to add notes and there were issues back then where notes couldn't be entered properly. If we wanted to leave a note such as "Okay, we have assessed this and this is how we feel", or "This is a false positive", Amazon GuardDuty wasn't allowing us to do that. Even with the suppression of certain findings, there was some issue that we had faced at one time. Those were some of the pain points of the solution."
"AWS GuardDuty sometimes shows false positives and should have better detection accuracy."
"The product needs to improve its cost-efficiency since it is expensive."
"I work in a bank, and it would be good if AWS GuardDuty could be integrated with other monitoring and detection tools we use."
"It would be great if the solution had some automation capabilities."
"The solution has to be integrated with new services that AWS adds like QuickSight, Managed Airflow, AppFlow and MWAA."
