Orca Security Ahead of the Rest!

  • January 18, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most important consideration for us to use Orca Security was their "Side-scanning Technology". No agents on endpoints, no sensors to manage, and no added containers that only add to our cloud spend.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time I really don't have anything I dislike, but the software provides a TON of information, so if I had to pick something I would say it's a bit of information overload, but I think that will be less of an issue as we use it more and remediate more issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orca Security is providing several use case solutions. First, it's solving several compliance requirements from endpoint security, IDS functionality, File Integrity Monitoring and internal vulnerablity scanning. It also integrates with Jira, Slack, our CI/CD pipeline (via Github Actions) and other areas. The new API security dashboard is an awesome new enhancement. Total security package.

Orca is a one-of-a-kind platform that is lightweight, easy to setup, and incredibly useful.

  • January 18, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Orca makes it easy for me to collaborate across teams to remediate issues in our cloud environments. The UI and integrations are simple to use and make it easy to find what is most important for us to work on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Orca is fast growing, and with that comes the growing pains of new features and the resulting pitfalls. The new features don't always work as expected, but their support quickly responds and assists with any issues we may have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orca solves the problem of monitoring our cloud workloads for vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations. It also helps us prioritize what issues to work on first.

Great product for GCP, better for AWS.

  • June 16, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The regular sync with their CSM and the fact they follow up with any false positives or bugs you find.
What do you dislike about the product?
GCP is not the focus given AWS has a bigger marketshare. However, they do continue to improve the product and add features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They remove the need for an agent based approach to vulnerability discovery. They also add value by finding configuration issues with your cloud environment.

Easy deployment with excellent prioritization of alerts

  • June 07, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is easy to deploy and provides appropriate context aware prioritization out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to dive into details and it could up 24 hours for changes to be reflected in the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Orca Security platform is monitoring for cloud security misconfiguration and vulnerability management of workloads.

What do you like best about the product?
Side scanning our live images is really the bread and butter, and best feature of the product

An excellent tool for analyzing your infrastructure.

Orca Clous security tool is efficient and highlights actionable risks

  • June 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to interpret risk ratings and severity levels. Overall compliance check and industry-standard risk scoring.
The news section highlights emerging threats/exploits etc. and highlights if any assets are affected.
What do you dislike about the product?
No support for AliCloud and no Ci/CD integration. No runtime protection for containers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are rapidly progressing in enhancing their platform improving visibility and adding new feature sets including Shiftleft which is currently in beta stage.

Orca's SideScanning technology is a game changer.

  • May 31, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Orca's SideScanning technology is excellent. The fact that it doesn't require an agent and is still able to provide as much insight as it does is truly amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Orca needs to figure out how to separate the wheat from the chaff. There are always a lot of vulnerabilities that appear in our console from old kernel versions or something that has already been patched that we're still getting alerts on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Orca is solving our visibility issue. Without it, we wouldn't have been able to triage log4j, see malware in our environments, investigate vulnerable cloud instances, and a range of other basic but tricky cloud problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a tool to open up your level of visibility with very little overhead, with an extremely easy setup process, Orca is the tool. However, if you need a tool to take action for you on a security incident, Orca will not do that for you.

Terrific Product

  • May 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a GRC analyst, I love how easy it is to generate detailed vulnerability/alert reports and the other compliance features that come with the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I have found yet, it's a great product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining PCI DSS internal vulnerability scanning requirements, makes it very easy to monitor compliance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the most advanced vulnerability scanner I've used in my career. Cutting-edge technology combined with terrific support.

What do you like best about the product?
Great tool, really helpful. Got a lot of different use-cases. It feels like several tools combined in one, with really great inventory management and searches system.
What do you dislike about the product?
As this is startup documentation can be a little behind the new futures but their support/ customer sucess team is helpful in those cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventory management, patch management, threat landscape. Give us full visibility on new threats and ways to understand and work on minimizing attack surface and improving security posture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best cloud security tool I have ever used.

A great All-In-One and easy to set solution to start addressing Cloud security.

  • May 25, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The SaaS version of the product is easy to set up and provides a great single pane of glass consolidated overview of multiple Public Cloud environments.
Orca's prioritization engine based on vulnerability exposure is particularly relevant for younger and less-cyber mature organizations.
A very flexible query language with automation capabilities.
The pricing model is reasonable.
The customer success team is very attentive to our needs and feedback.
A product which is constantly evolving the current platform is already much more advanced and feature-rich than when we started using it a year ago.
What do you dislike about the product?
Orca's agentless technology provides less visibility on systems' activity such as applications loaded in memory.
Monitoring for Kubernetes and Docker vulnerabilities and misconfigurations could be more developed.
The solution is not as mature on GCP as AWS, they usually start rolling new dashboards and detection rules for AWS and it eventually gets adapted to the other Cloud providers.
As of today lack of a customer community or advisory board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gaining visibility into our live running Infrastructure and detecting vulnerable components that could lead the path to a cyber attack.
We didn't have any vulnerability management capabilities a year ago, Orca served as one of our stepping stones to prioritize and start mitigating.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
After having tested many different solutions, I consider Orca as the most adapted for mid-size/scale-up businesses with a small security team and a limited budget.

If you subscribe to the product I would suggest relaying demands to your customer success manager for a customer community. I deem Orca will set up a Slack channel and website+events with their customers at some point but right now that's missing to exchange use cases.
