We use Sweet Security primarily for vulnerability management on all of our cloud assets, mainly AWS, but we also use it for SOC, with the SOC integration getting the events and responding to them.

The best feature of Sweet Security is that the events come in the form of stories, which are very informative, making it very clear what's going on.

The good sensor that can be installed on the servers themselves is an excellent feature.

The value we see from having real-time visibility into our cloud environment is significant. We actually came from a different tool that does almost the same, but it did not have some of the features that Sweet Security has, with the main uses being the SOC integration and addressing misconfigurations from the IT team.

The real-time monitoring feature is essential; it's a security tool that points out vulnerabilities, and once they point out the vulnerability, we address and fix it.

Sweet Security's reporting tools enhance our insights into potential vulnerabilities and threats as they serve as our eyes and ears inside AWS, telling us what we are doing wrong so we can fix it.

Sweet Security's threat detection capabilities influence our decision-making processes by providing alerts and allowing us to look at the dashboards and respond accordingly, even as a very small team consisting of just two people.

There is room for improvement. We have a very close relationship with Sweet Security and have a weekly meeting where we ask for new features, which they usually respond to very quickly, including the feature we requested for a Windows Server sensor, which they created and we are currently testing.

One area for improvement could be the alerts, as we have an issue with the alert time, the time it takes for the system to send the alert, but besides that, there is nothing special.

I have been using Sweet Security for about a year, as we signed a contract about a year ago.

The deployment of Sweet Security was pretty straightforward. I wouldn't say easy as we have a lot of footprint in the cloud, so there's a lot of work to deploy anything, but they were much easier than other tools we have been using.

I would rate the stability at 10, at least for the last year.

Sweet Security's scalability depends on what is considered scalability. For us, we don't need to scale it since it's all SaaS, but I can say it is very easily deployable.

I would rate the vendor support an eight, as we have a very close relationship, allowing me to contact my account manager at Sweet Security anytime, and she gets the right people involved during our weekly meetings and ad hoc meetings, making the support very good.

Previously, we used Ermetic, and we moved away from it due to their price increase.

The migration from our previous tool to Sweet Security was not seamless but it was not that difficult.

Sweet Security does not require any maintenance, as it is a completely SaaS solution where everything, including updates and dashboards, is done on their side, and the agents are also updated automatically.

Regarding return on investment, I cannot say how much time or resources Sweet Security has saved since we are a very small team, but I am guessing it saves some time because it's a good tool.

I am not aware of the pricing details; that is a different department.

We evaluated other solutions before choosing Sweet Security, including big names like Wiz and Orca, but Sweet Security stood out for their amazing pricing and because they were much cheaper than Ermetic while providing approximately the same capabilities.

I haven't used the customizable dashboards feature yet.

I cannot assess the effectiveness of the machine learning algorithms in reducing threat response time; I don't remember using a feature like that in Sweet Security.

Regarding how Sweet Security has helped me prioritize risks and threats more effectively, I don't know how to say if it helped or not, but it is definitely needed, as the tool is our eyes and ears with everything cloud-related.

We purchased Sweet Security through a direct purchase.

We are not a small company; we have 7,500 users, but our IT team is indeed very small with just two users of this product.

I would recommend Sweet Security to other users for the price and functionality.

I rate Sweet Security eight out of ten.
