Fantastic, powerful tool for cloud security

  • November 13, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Orca provides top-tier dashboards and easy dashboard customization which quickly surfaces critical risks.
Orca support replies rapidly and consistently works to resolve issues.
Orca installation in 2/3 of our main cloud environments was a smooth process, and the last environment took just an extra hour of work. Overall, a very smooth onboarding process, and great training resources were provided.
Orca provides incredibly rich, useful data about the risks it detects, with very low/none false positives.
What do you dislike about the product?
The compliance modules currently load extremely slowly, lack CIS critical controls v8.1, and waiting for the promised module rewrite next year sucks.
Orca knowledgebase documentation is tied to your Orca login. To faciliate non-technical staff (or folks who don't need console access) working with the tool, it would be great if they were decoupled.
Exporting risk data to CSV from Orca often requires selecting which of 119-250+ columns I want, at least once, unless you like getting a 1 GB CSV file (wow!)
Exporting to CSV frequently hangs (probably due to the default enormous CSV size), requiring the usage of scheduled reports, which is less convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orca is an incredibly powerful tool. We're using it to detect vulnerabilities in virtual machines, misconfigured serverless functions, excessive IAM policies, unhardened virtual machines, VMs missing critical protective software, VMs under attack, and so much more, and that's just the tip of what Orca can do.

One of the Most Effective Security Tools I Have Ever Used

  • November 12, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Orca is great about helping security teams priortize vulnerabilities based on factors other than just CVSS scores so that we make the most efficient use of our time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there is room for improvement in some parts of the UX. Orca is great about gathering a ton of data about our resources, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities, but I think there is still room for improvement in terms of summarizing large quantities of vulnerabilities and pivoting to them from the dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventorying cloud resources, vulnerability scanning, and vulnerability prioritization. Priortizing the right vulnerabilties allows our team to be more effective with our time.

Orca exceeds expectations as a cloud security solution and back the product up with great support

  • November 06, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SaaS Configuration is incredibly easy, but they also have the capability to support private deployment models as well

Support and turnaround times for requested product functionality are quick

Discovery search feature is great and makes it easy to quickly pull together custom reports

API Security feature does a great job highlighting external exposure risks for cloud application services where other competitors fell short

Coverage of CSP services Inventoried within Orca include even the darker corners of the 1000's of cloud services available
What do you dislike about the product?
Ui can be a little buggy with the newer features sometimes, but it's never impacted what I needed to get done and it is still by far the best Ui experience amongst it's direct competitors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been able to leverage Orca's Agentless scan results to quickly accelerate our identification and remediation process for vulnerabilities across cloud environments. Whether you're just starting to understand the state of your cloud environments or are looking to speed up your response time to zero day Vulns, Orca helps takes the guess work out of what should be prioritized first with an excellent approach to risk contextualization.

Additionally, their API Security feature does an exceptional job shining light on an underappreciated aspect of cloud security. The Cloud is not a traditional network perimeter and failure to monitor or understand how these cloud provider application services can impact cloud network boundaries can be a costly mistake. This functionality should be on your 'must have' list when evaluating competitors

The way core AWS, Azure and GCP services are named and how they function are all fundamentally unique to each provider, but Orca does a great job highlighting risks specific to each provider while also normalizing some of the terminology across providers so that you don't have to be an expert in the nuances of comparable service's

We've been using Orca for at least 4 years now in a multitenancy environment

What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to deploy, amazing insight into our cloud environments and ease of reporting integration and remediation, coupled with continuous developmentment and product enhancements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any dislikes, but I would like to see more SIEM like capability (for example to indentify abnormal behavior from users, etc.) to move closer towards having one integrated platform for cloud VM and MDR.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orca helps us by providing visibility and prioritizing our most critical security risks across all of our cloud environments. We can see vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity and access management issues, and potential lateral movement risks, which helps us to quickly identify and remediate threats across our entire cloud estate.
