"I like CSPM the most. It captures a lot of alerts within a short period of time. When an alert gets triggered on the cloud, it throws an alert within half an hour, which is very reasonable. It is a plus point for us."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."
"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"The management console is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."
"We use Aqua Security for the container security features."
"From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"The container security element of this product has been very valuable to our organization."
"Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment."
"Their sandboxing service is also really good."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Technical support is helpful."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."
"There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security."
"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
