Quick and easy setup and helps comply with various security frameworks and strengthens overall security posture

  • January 08, 2024
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I mainly use it as a posture management tool to comply with security frameworks like CIS and NIST, strengthening my overall security posture.

What is most valuable?

The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers.

What needs improvement?

Maybe better customization options for security frameworks and better integration with reporting tools like Power BI or Grafana dashboards. Modularizing reports and dashboards would be fantastic. Simplifying the way users build custom frameworks would be good.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues at all! It's been quite stable and reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a very scalable solution. It supports all three major cloud providers and is designed for easy deployment. So, from my perspective, it's highly scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support was not good. It really depended on who you got assigned to. Overall, I'd say it was decent, not perfect, but definitely helpful.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We also looked at Lacework and CrowdStrike. The main problem with Lacework was the pricing model. It was based on capacity, and with our ever-growing environment, the costs became unsustainable.

The features, ease of integration, and compatibility with all our security frameworks swayed us towards Orca.

We migrated everything to Orca and haven't looked back.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, where ten is easy to set up.

What about the implementation team?

I managed it all by myself. We had some support from Orca at the time, but the process itself was very easy. The whole setup, from initial discussions with Orca and setting up our own environments, was only about two to three days.

What was our ROI?

It is worth the money we are paying for it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's not as expensive as some competitors like Prisma Cloud, but it's not the cheapest either. A subscription model based on AWS usage would be an interesting option to explore.

What other advice do I have?

Users can meet all the needs around security, automation, customization, and reporting. Orca is a feature-rich tool, easy to use, and seamlessly integrates with major cloud providers.

It offers comprehensive visibility not just from a security standpoint but also for management and high availability. That's my key advice.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Highly scalable and stable solution with good support

  • July 26, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Our use case is very simple. Orca Security is used to monitor and have control over your client's cloud environment, specifically the CP-CFPM.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable aspects is the agentless feature. Orca Security doesn't use agents at all.

What needs improvement?

Maybe the presentation of the data in the dashboard. It's a little bit chaotic. There is room for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Orca Security for one and a half years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I never faced any problem with stability. Our client base is more SMB.  

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It can easily scale and control a huge environment comprising thousands of VMs. 

How are customer service and support?

The support is very good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. We have deployed the solution on the public cloud. However, there is a roadmap, a feature to deploy also in private environments and on-prem environments.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment process takes at least an hour. To onboard, the process is very smooth. You have to collect some information from your cloud environment, specifically as an admin user of your cloud subscription. Then, you have to follow a three-step process inside the Orca platform because Orca will automatically create all the policies and data needed to onboard your subscription.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend trying this solution once, at least for a month. It is a very good product. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud
