I was working for Computer Software Corporation, CSC corporation, as a contract employee. There, we were asked to do a research on various cloud security applications. That's where we came in contact with Aqua. We were trying to do apple to apple comparison of Prisma and Aqua.

We felt Aqua is good and we even recommended Aqua to be used - rather than Prisma.

We previously used Red Hat and Prisma Cloud. Prisma Cloud was too expensive and Red Hat security is more similar to risk management, not risk posture management, and is not a real security tool. We decided on Aqua Security.

We didn't have a previous solution. We went with Aqua because it seemed to be an enterprise company in terms of security, one of the leaders in the field, so we tried them first. It gave us the value that we needed. They made a very good impression with their knowledge of security around containers. It seemed to be a company focused on that, security first for containers, unlike Docker. That was an advantage to us.

We weren't using any solution before that was providing us with visibility into our container platforms. We looked at other solutions out there and, based on various aspects, including customer service and technical support, we picked Aqua Security. The technical support and customer service aspects were what led us to pick Aqua Security over the competitors.

Aqua Security is one of the first solutions I have used for container security, however I have also taken a look at ACS from Red Hat, Snyk, and Prisma from Palo Alto.

We went with Aqua Security mainly because we believe they offer the strongest protection in terms of runtime security.

We previously used Alcide. Aqua gives us more features and is more solid in terms of security. Aqua is more of a market share leader. There is more of a technology advantage.
