My main use case for Cloudanix is to get controls to model the cloud environment.
Unified cloud security has simplified multi-cloud visibility and streamlined developer workflows
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Cloudanix has positively impacted my organization by supporting the security view across the multi-cloud environment because there are competitors in the market as well. However, choosing Cloudanix has proven very efficient and intuitive, and it remains easy to handle compared to other products available in the market.
Since adopting Cloudanix, I have noticed faster onboarding improvements in efficiency.
What is most valuable?
A quick specific example of how I use Cloudanix in my workflow is that what has happened recently is secure and the migration with the CI/CD pipeline is smooth, making the developers' jobs easy. I was searching for software where Cloudanix makes cloud security feel effortless. It gives you all the visibility, and it has a part in the cloud environments. You can track all the errors that need action, and it comes with the fixes. It can detect misconfiguration, and the misconfiguration can tell you what the solution is for that misconfiguration.
The visibility that Cloudanix provides benefits my team day-to-day by simplifying our processes. What gets simplified is that it covers core cloud identity and all the workloads on one page, and it has strong auto-remediation where the diagram configuration is present. Because of its smooth nature towards the existing workflow, making security a part of the pipeline and the process is very simple. It gives you a great user experience.
The best features that Cloudanix offers include the single-page view and workflow automation. These features make my job easier by saving time and providing efficiency.
The features of Cloudanix include easy onboarding and agentless deployment, as users report a quick and simple onboarding process that can be done in minutes without deploying agents, which speeds up the implementation process across multi-cloud environments. The unified visibility across all cloud accounts consolidates all security data into a single dashboard, which means the teams struggling with multiple tools find it very efficient and intuitive as well and saves time because of all these features. Many teams have reported that Cloudanix replaced multiple tools, saving a lot of effort and operational overhead. Additionally, Cloudanix has a quick support team, and it also addresses complex aspects like GDPR compliance, which helps your personal data management.
What needs improvement?
Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization. The feature expectations suggest that integrating products such as Slack for IAM workflows or enhancing asset management visibility would give it overall weightage. Enhancing customization is necessary because the current limitations cause some drawbacks in its performance that should be improvised.
Regarding needed improvements, I feel that the primary strength of Cloudanix lies in unified security governance and IAM. It needs further improvement in risk correlation and attack path analysis; additionally, it requires richer dashboards to enhance the UI and usability as well. The attack path analysis is a key area that needs further industry-level enhancement, while the integration aspect is a growing ecosystem that requires improvements over time.
Additional improvements Cloudanix needs include enhancing the enterprise-grade support experience.
