What do you dislike about the product?
Can be pricey – The cost adds up, especially for smaller teams.
Steep learning curve – Some features aren’t intuitive right away.
Alert overload – Sometimes flags minor issues, creating noise.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cortex Cloud tackles a few big headaches for us:
Stops security gaps in our cloud setup – Before, misconfigurations in AWS/Azure would slip through. Now it flags risks automatically, saving us from potential breaches.
Cuts through compliance chaos – Audits used to be a nightmare. Cortex’s pre-built checks (like CIS benchmarks) cut our prep time in half.

Cortex Cloud is the BEST..
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how user-friendly the interface is. It makes navigating complex data much simpler, and the integration with our existing tools was surprisingly smooth, saving us a lot of setup time initially. It just feels intuitive to use day-to-day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the platform feels a little slow during peak usage times, which can be frustrating when you're on a tight deadline. I've also found that exporting very large datasets occasionally encounters errors or takes longer than expected, which can disrupt workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cortex Cloud helps us find security problems in our containers before they go live, like checking for known flaws. It also keeps an eye on them while they're running to stop hacks or suspicious activity automatically. This makes our apps safer overall and helps us meet security standards more easily.
Solid platform for managing infrastructure.
What do you like best about the product?
Cortex Cloud helps reduce the complexity of managing different services. It brings everything into one view which makes it easier to spot issues quickly and respond faster. The integrations with other tools like Slack work smoothly, and the incident tracking is solid. It makes our day to day work a lot more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features feel a bit hidden or not fully documented, which made the initial learning curve slightly steeper than I expected. Also while the UI is generally clean, I wish there were more options to customize the dashboard to match my workflow better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest issues it’s helped with is centralizing service information and improving reliability. Instead of manually tracking services, dependencies, and incidents across different tools, Cortex Cloud gives me one place to monitor everything. It’s made it easier to catch problems early, automate some of the repetitive tasks, and keep our systems more stable overall. It’s definitely improved how quickly we respond to issues and how well we coordinate as a team.
Decent tool with potential, but needs some polish.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Cortex Cloud simplifies access to cloud-based services and makes it easier to collaborate remotely. The dashboard is user-friendly, and setting up new environments is relatively fast and smooth. It’s also pretty scalable, which helps when projects start growing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It still feels a bit rough around the edges—some features are inconsistent, and the interface can get glitchy at times. I’ve also experienced occasional lag, especially during high-load periods, which slows down the workflow. It could also benefit from more detailed documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cortex Cloud helps manage cloud security and compliance more efficiently, especially when dealing with sensitive customer data. It usually cuts down the time spent on manual audits and ensures that we're aligned with industry standards. Having centralized governance tools also will reduce the risk of human error and streamlines internal reviews. Overall, it gives us more confidence in our infrastructure and saves time during audits and policy enforcement.
great
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to use. It helps to boost engineering efficiency by providing clear metrics and standards. It's great for teams that want to be more aligned and scalable!
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup is slightly complex. Moreover, maintaining integrations would require consistent efforts (frequent use) and alignment from team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with API security because it enforces standards across services. It can help document and monitor APIs, which reduces risk. Cortex Cloud helps solve API security and risk-based vulnerability issues by enforcing standards across services. With scorecards and integrations, it ensures APIs are documented, secured, and monitored. This reduces risk as it flags vulnerable services early.
Easy and worth it
What do you like best about the product?
The instant alerts were nice because they help me be aware of anything happening in an instant without any struggling or hard requirement. I like solutions in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The doensides of cortex cloud would be sometimes the spam or unnecessary information provided to me. Also maybe the too many statistics mKes it harder for me to see the relevant info i am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned before it helped me with instant alerts solving instantly in real time issues or at least making me aware of. I want my apis to be secure yet accessible.

It also helps streamline network monitoring and threat detection, reducing response times and enhancing our overall cybersecurity posture.
Another level cloud platform
What do you like best about the product?
First of all most of our engineers find it very helpful because of the diverse options that they get and also the platform is user friendly. There’s a clear visibility of microservices, teams, and who owns some of the aspects and what not.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say initial set up was slightly complicated but as we move forward, it was much more easier to understand how the things work and other thing I would say the pricing factor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I would say full visibility to all the teams because the integrations that we have work seamlessly more with Okta, Datadog, PagerDuty etc. And also, once you’re familiar with the way, cortex cloud works it’s much more easier to deploy things in a fast pace, then compared to most of the other cloud services out there.
