Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too.""We use Aqua Security for the container security features.""Support is very helpful.""Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware.""Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment.""The most valuable feature is the security.""Aqua Security allowed us to gain visibility into the vulnerabilities that were present in the container images, that were being rolled out, the amount of risk that we were introducing to the platform, and provided us a look into the container environment by introducing access control mechanisms. In addition, when it came to runtime-level policies, we could restrict container access to resources in our environment, such as network-level or other application-level access.""From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."

"This solution has helped our clients because it allows them to leverage the tools so that they can actually reduce their overall expenses for the environment.""The most valuable features are the GUI interface and the API.""It provides a great visibility around the roots: Root implementing which can be done, roots that have changed, and what has been done. So, it's pretty useful when you have an audit going on.""One of the biggest quick wins that we had with Tufin was cleaning up our firewall policies and rules. We cleaned out a lot of rules which helped our devices, longevity-wise, as well as speed-wise.""Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes, specifically for the reporting functionality. For doing the rule cleanup and policy analysis, it would be a nightmare to do that manually. So, it is saving our engineering teams time from not having to do manual log reviews.""It gives our firewall administrators visibility into the total infrastructure.""The most valuable feature are role and objects usage for individual objects and app usage.""The solution is good, and no clients complained about it."

Cons
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity.""Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting.""It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing.""They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options.""Sometimes I got stressed with the UI.""Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua.""The solution could improve user-friendliness.""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."

More Aqua Cloud Security Platform Cons →

"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved.""With scalability, we are going to run into some issues. We have been talking about converting over to actual hardware as opposed to virtual. Therefore, I don't think we are scalable at this time, especially with the updates coming. I'm told that they're going to need a lot more horsepower to push them.""The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation.""I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices.""They've got such a large number of APIs, and it is so easy to use their APIs. Effectively, they allow us to use it with anything. The only way to improve it more is by offering support for implementing their APIs into certain hardware or software that we might use. They can provide support for implementing APIs.""They are sort of at the pilot stage on some of their products. I saw the Orca and Iris products yesterday. My initial impression of these products were that they were good products, but I felt like some of their features overlapped with SecureTrack and SecureChange, which they are already doing. So, I just wondered what direction they're going in? I understand that they are cloud products, but are these security products going to overlap each other's features at some point? This is my initial concern.""The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices.""Currently, we have to get different data from different sections of the site. It would be nice if it was all combined into one."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."
  • "Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."
  • "Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."
  • "The pricing of this solution could be improved."
  • "It comes at a reasonable cost."

  • "Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."
  • "The solution has helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. With Tufin, it takes ten to 15 minutes. Before, it was 30 minutes or more."
  • "The solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes. It helps make overall integrated changes immediately. It allows us to cut down at least a few hours in the week in regards to changes and monitoring."
  • "We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
  • "Tufin makes things a little easier. It lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do. It has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs. We have already seen return on investment."
