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.
Integrates threat detection for multiple clouds but pricing remains a concern
