We performed a comparison between BMC Helix Cloud Security and Mirantis Container Cloud 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."The solution is a good alerting tool."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"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."
"All the features we use are equal and get the job done."
"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"The cool feature of Helix Cloud Security is that you can do all that — understand and remediate issues — in one dashboard, based on the different policies that are available for security, out-of-the-box."
"The most valuable aspects of BMC Helix Cloud Security are its security features and regulatory compliance capabilities."
"Role-based security is a valuable feature."
"The best feature is time to value. With very minimal effort, you are able to have a cohesive view into your security posture on one or multiple cloud accounts, particularly if you are dealing with multicloud. If you have Azure and AWS deployments, you might have multiple subscriptions in Azure and usually multiple accounts in AWS. You may even be doing some GCP work (around Google Cloud Platform). It's very difficult to manage a common set of policies, even less reporting, across multiple subscriptions, accounts, and cloud environments. What BMC Helix Cloud Security does is provide a unified view or single pane of glass as to your baseline. Then, it also facilitates the ability for Level 1 or 2 operations support to take action and report on security vulnerabilities."
"The features that I've found most valuable are its container security aspect. I also like its vulnerability management tools."
"It's also multi-cloud. You can look at several cloud providers: AWS, Azure, or GCP."
"The UI is very useful."
"Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user."
"You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment."
"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud."
"Now it is easier to set up the development environment and also to test the applications on the pipelines."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"The product is easy to use."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"The cost has the potential for improvement."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"We've had some with issues connectors. The connectors have seemed to have caused a little bit of trouble, perhaps with the APIs trying to scan the environment. The only time I've had to reach out to tech support was for that. It seems it may not have been scanning correctly or I wasn't seeing data within a specific time. But we've set up a couple of connectors in the past couple of weeks and they actually scanned the AWS environment and we had data within about 10 minutes. It's working a lot faster and I think they're making improvements as they go."
"BMC Helix Cloud Security has room for improvement in terms of integrating its various features."
"Every organization out there doesn't rely on just one control body. They use FISMA control. They may use HIPAA, CIS, PCI, or SOX, then blend them. One of the things that is now in big demand for BMC Helix Cloud Security is content. That's the next journey in its lifespan, making it easier for the community to share and collaborate on content for security controls that can be measured and remediated."
"I want the role-based security feature to be improved."
"The UI could be more user-friendly."
"This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud."
"I feel that the product lacks to offer a proper health status of the images which are running, making it an area where improvements are required."
"When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
"There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement."
"With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable."
"In my previous years, I have brainstormed about the development of Container software. I have recently shifted focus, but the knowledge gained from those were really helpful. In my experience, Containers have their own complexities and to implement them, open source information is crucial. A software with new features would be beneficial. I suggest to implement a flow-based approach for container sequences, similar to Google Cloud's machine learning. The current process of deploying containers involves too many steps, and a more streamlined method would be appreciated. I've even automated deployment using APIs. Overall, simplifying container management and deployment processes would be valuable."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
