I have been testing various solutions to ensure which one is the best fit to protect data, applications, and infrastructure in cloud environments. We are distributors in Turkey, focusing on promoting cost-effective security solutions in the market. When engaging with enterprise clients, particularly in the financial sector such as banks, I emphasize the importance of robust security measures. During customer visits, they express a keen interest in technical support and want demonstrations of software source code management, security support for software chains, and workflow protection.

What I like best about Aqua Security is its comprehensive approach to security, proactive threat intelligence, strong focus on compliance, exceptional customer support, and commitment to continuous improvement. They truly excel in providing robust and tailored security solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
While finding any significant drawbacks is challenging, Aqua Security's continuous improvement could benefit from even more frequent feature updates to further enhance its already exceptional offerings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aqua Security solves security challenges in containers and cloud-native environments, providing enhanced protection, risk mitigation, and secure adoption of these technologies. Their solutions benefit us by ensuring the integrity and availability of our systems in these dynamic and evolving landscapes.
Best container scanning tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the nice dashboards, I like how vulnerability findings are presented and explained in detail. I also like the fact that it provides remediation options. It's much easier to fix a problem when you have a tool like this.
I like the policies that can be easily configured for extra protection.
I like how nice and helpful the Aqua team always is, answering all our questions and always taking the time to discuss with us.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think the intial config process was a bit long, but we managed to do it with the help of the Aqua team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aqua helps us discover any high or critical vulnerability we might have and it gives us the instructions to follow in order to fix the problem.
A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most crucial aspect is runtime protection, specifically image scanning before preproduction and deployment. Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment. This feature ensures that customers can identify any potential issues with the image, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, before integrating it into their workloads and infrastructure. In their source pipeline, companies can identify issues before deploying changes. This is crucial because customers prefer resolving any problems or misconfigurations before the deployment process. Software change security, including GSPM Cloud, is a key feature customers seek in their infrastructure.
What needs improvement?
There's room for improvement, particularly in management capabilities as it may not be comprehensive enough for all customers, and it has been lacking in the realm of cloud security posture management. Another challenge lies in the difficulty and complexity of the installation process. Deploying core components is not straightforward; it poses challenges that need to be addressed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for eight months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate its stability capabilities seven out of ten. Upon opening the dashboards and navigating to VM, there are instances where I can't see the information.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It excels in scalability, and it stands out as a particularly flexible and complex solution. This flexibility contributes to its superior scalability compared to other solutions like Prisma Cloud, which is notably less scalable. I would rate it eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is highly responsive and exceptionally helpful. When I report an issue, they address it promptly and efficiently. I would rate it ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is complex.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment time is quite lengthy. For instance, if you're integrating into the supply chain, the process demands more time, potentially spanning several days. Installing components like source code management and workflow protection is particularly challenging. This difficulty is intertwined with the infrastructure, determining how many workloads can be accommodated. In a smaller environment, installation might be feasible, say, between two to three hosts. However, challenges persist, such as the inability to install GitHub due to the absence of a connector. Despite efforts, connecting with other platforms like Scenic proves troublesome, unlike the seamless connection experience with NetApp.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It comes at a reasonable cost. When compared to Prisma Cloud, it is more budget-friendly.
What other advice do I have?
This is an excellent solution, particularly for countries with stringent regulations like Turkey, Vietnam, and Russia. In these regions, high-level enterprise customers, driven by regulatory constraints, often refrain from using cloud accounts such as AWS and Google Cloud. Aqua provides a fulfilling on-premises solution, which is highly valuable. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Covers a lot!
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of content Aqua covers within Cloud is extremely impressive. It's a hugely powerful tool compared to it's competitors.
Support contacts are readily available.
Easy to deploy using Helm and APIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's multiple ways to do the same thing, making it complicated to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifiying risks and security threats within our cloud platforms.
Solid foundation, lacking custoziablility
What do you like best about the product?
All the information you need is obtainable, but you will likely have to interact with their API to get that information. That being said they do have good API docs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboards are basically useless unless you are only looking for very basic metrics. Its hard to compare past and current results, which mean you are likely just going to export your results to CSV and do your analysis in Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aqua provides us with vulnerability information for our containers and gives us an understanding what images are running within our environments.
Effective insight to container security posture
What do you like best about the product?
Aqua provides the ability to isolate specific areas when dealing with the overwhelming nature of managing containers and their security footprint. Specific areas that are broken down from images, infrastructure, network, runtime protection etc. allows for taking each section and narrowing it down to actionable items which can be addressed making it less overwhelming.
What do you dislike about the product?
An opportunity of improvement would be to be able to trigger based on container layers and any security vulnerabilities that exists withing that layer would help further drill down specific issues that may be present in that level. Better integration with GitLab CICD would be helpful as well.
Another feature that would be helpfu would be to be able to drill down from the Widgets. As of now, the widget only allows read-only visuals.
