I use Orca Security as a CSPM tool primarily for cloud security and posture management. I utilize its CIEM and CDR features extensively. CIEM focuses on cloud infrastructure and entitlement management, and CDR deals with cloud detection and response.

What do you like best about the product?
Alerts and Vulnerability
Malware files and the way presenting the attack paths.
Malware files and the way presenting the attack paths.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vulnerable package are not showing whether it's in use or not. Sometimes orca is detecting that stored files are vulnerable even though those flat files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As of now we are handling the alerts in good way and sometimes hard to handle the vulnerabilities.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud visibility
Comprehensive tool at a very affordable price-point
What do you like best about the product?
Orca security has basically anything we could think of interms of CNAPP and CSPM capabilities. It gives us valuable insight and is truly an all in one cloud security package.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have not found many downsides of using Orca security, the only I could think of is the needd for competely different portals for our govcloud environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility, visibility, visibility. It is very hard to have accurate inventory without a specialized tool like orca. We are now able to see our infrastructure and how it is configured in a single pane of glass.
Orca is a game changer with Observability
What do you like best about the product?
Orca has really been a game changer helping accelerate our observably and security journey. The AI assisted search has increased our ability to quickly find and identify resources within our cloud subscriptions and identify vulnerabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only missing offering is a cached dashboard to be used on team area kiosk dashboards within the team areas and displaying only that business unit's information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and observability in our multiple cloud subscriptions and environments.
Orca Security has led us to a greatly improved cloud security posture within days of use.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very intuitive and there was not a learning curve at all. Being able to create reports on pretty much any dashboard has been very helpful. Vulnerabilities and misconfigurations found by Orca give us more than enough information to be handed to our development team for remediation without having to do any additional research. Overall, this is a very well thought out platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly have not found anything I dislike yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was a very painful process to search for misconfigurations with IAM and networking in our environment. Orca has given us a way to have all of the data we need without having to spend hours searching and it most cases gives the instructions needed to remediate. It has also helped us add more shift left into our development process.
Maximize cloud security management with effective CIEM and CDR features
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration.
The CDR feature is also critical, focusing on detection and response, triggering alerts like brute force attacks and malware. It provides alert and asset details, which include multiple remediation actions. It combines functionalities of multiple security tools and collects alerts and logs from them.
What needs improvement?
A notable limitation with Orca Security is its scanning feature. The automatic scan only runs every 24 hours, and if an alert is remediated within an hour, it still remains until the next scheduled scan. A more frequent or on-demand scanning option might mitigate this issue.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Orca Security for one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of Orca Security is satisfactory, and I would rate it nine out of ten. I have experienced very little downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Orca Security is highly scalable, and I would rate its scalability as eight to nine. I have observed minimal downtime.
How are customer service and support?
I have had experiences where I needed to contact Orca support to address issues with alerts that remained active even after remediation. Based on my interactions, I would rate the support team a six out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Orca Security's pricing is known to be a bit high, however, I'm not directly involved in that aspect.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have not used any alternatives to Orca Security.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Orca Security overall as eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Agent-less Solutions, easy onboard, powerful CNAPP
What do you like best about the product?
Easy Onboarding, I don't need consider the agent implementation plan, or any rollback plan if any bad thing happens.
What do you dislike about the product?
lack of sandbox, or real-time protection
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orca Security enhances cloud security by leveraging CNAPP benefits, offering comprehensive visibility and protection across environments. This approach enables organizations to identify vulnerabilities, prioritize risks, and ensure compliance, all while streamlining security operations and improving response times. Most important things are 1) no agent, I don't need to take care the installation and compatibility issues, 2) it helps me to prioritize the alerts and risks that I need deal with them immediately.
Seamless integration and side scanning optimize cloud security management
What is our primary use case?
I am primarily using Orca Security for cloud security. Being part of the vulnerability management team, I utilize Orca Security for generating vulnerability alerts on cloud assets.
What is most valuable?
One aspect that stands out is the seamless integration. Once our organization is configured, any cloud account under that organization is automatically detected in Orca Security, along with all the assets associated with it.
Another valuable feature is the side scanning technology using a snapshot mechanism. This technology allows for coverage of almost all cloud assets without interrupting their operations.
What needs improvement?
Orca Security could improve its ticket creation process. Currently, it allows for creating tickets in only one bucket, which requires monitoring to redirect tickets to the appropriate team. It would be beneficial to have segregation for different projects.
Additionally, Orca Security could improve in reporting OS package vulnerabilities, such as missing MS patches or Linux patches.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Orca Security for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability as nine out of ten. I personally have not encountered any bugs or issues with the console. It runs almost 24/7.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability as nine out of ten. The seamless integration allows us to automatically reflect any connected project from our cloud into the console.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate customer service between eight and nine out of ten. The support team assists with issues and provides information on new updates, helping us understand the product better.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used Rapid7 for vulnerability management. We switched because we moved from on-premises to the cloud, which required a cloud security solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not sure about the pricing, as all decisions related to pricing and configuration were made by a different department.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Orca Security to others looking for a cloud security solution due to its seamless integration and side-scanning technology that does not hamper cloud asset performance. It also offers automation for ticket creation directly from alerts.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
