Orca Security CNAPP Cloud Security Platform
Orca’s Attack Path View Transformed How We Prioritize Fixes
Integrated devsecops practices have prevented vulnerabilities across the application lifecycle
What is our primary use case?
In my previous experience with Orca Security, I was working on the DevSecOps model, mainly using it for CI/CD pipelines, scanning our repositories for identifying vulnerabilities and breaking the build of the project if there are any high or critical vulnerabilities.
Prioritizing risks using Orca Security is straightforward; it has many tools for assessing and prioritizing risk, including CVSS for all vulnerabilities and the Orca Score that considers the whole context of each vulnerability, helping me understand the true risk and impact.
We had experience with the Orca Sensor, but we did not think it brings too much value to our current environment, so we decided to remove it.
I have used the Cloud to Dev feature in Orca Security before, but not as much as other features such as the DevSecOps model.
How has it helped my organization?
Orca Security has helped me in preventing risks and attacks across my application life cycle by being the base of the whole secure development life cycle I implemented in my previous experience, which was crucial for detecting vulnerabilities both in development and runtime.
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate the most about Orca Security are the AI features for solving false positives and tackling some cases that are not entirely clear for my team, which helped greatly for investigating and dealing with those situations and proved to be highly accurate.
What needs improvement?
Some visualizations and dashboards in Orca Security were not as clear to me; even though I can edit and modify them as much as I prefer, the dashboards that came with the application were not ideal.
There are not many negative aspects about Orca Security; I think it is a solid solution and the issue with the dashboards is more of a design preference of mine, so I am not certain if it qualifies as a downside.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Orca Security for around one to one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not experienced any lagging, crashing, downtime, or any sort of instability with Orca Security.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Orca Security is quite scalable; we had more than 500 projects on the platform, and adding more projects is a natural progression.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted the technical support of Orca Security and had positive experiences; I always received quick answers and was able to resolve my problems.
I would rate the support of Orca Security an eight on a scale from one to ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment of Orca Security was straightforward, but the configuration as a whole and integrating all of our tools and repositories was challenging, requiring significant work to configure it and put it into production.
It took approximately two months to fully deploy Orca Security.
What about the implementation team?
Deploying Orca Security probably requires a team; a single person can deploy it, but not to its fullest potential, so you probably need more people and workforce to integrate everything effectively.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used Snyk as an alternative security coding solution, and while it does not have as many functions and models as Orca Security, it works as a security coding solution as well. I am also currently evaluating Wiz, which is quite similar to Orca Security.
I am not the person that interacts with the pricing of Orca Security, but the solutions have standard pricing; I do not think Orca Security is higher or cheaper than Wiz or similar solutions. I know Snyk is cheaper, but it does not have many of the models and functions that Orca Security has.
What other advice do I have?
I was a regular customer of Orca Security, responsible for operating it daily, and I do not have any current relation with them, but I remain impressed with the application as a whole. I would rate this review a nine out of ten.

What was our ROI?
I do not know if I have seen a return on investment with Orca Security; I cannot share any relevant metrics.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I think that is not my place in the company.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Orca Security, I evaluated other options, such as Wiz or Google, perhaps.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Orca Security is to practice and study the platform in test scenarios. My impressions of the risk detection and identification capabilities of Orca Security are fascinating because they are clear and serve as a guide. Orca Security has helped my organization reduce the time it takes to address cloud security alerts because we can automate alerts.
To the extent that Orca Security has helped in preventing risks and attacks across our application lifecycle, it has allowed me to understand the security status of our resources before they go into production. My experience prioritizing risks using Orca is easy. In my experience, Orca Security's ability to analyze risks contextually and holistically is excellent. I have not utilized Orca Security's sensor for cloud detection and response, so I cannot speak to its effectiveness.
I would rate this review a ten out of ten. Orca Security is a great platform, and I am very happy with it.
