"Cloud Native Security has helped us with our risk posture and securing our agenda. It has been tremendous in terms of supporting growth."
"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."
"We use Aqua Security for the container security features."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"Support is very helpful."
"Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment."
"The DTA, which stands for Dynamic Threat Analysis, allows me to analyze Docker images in a sandbox environment before deployment, helping me anticipate risks."
"The solution was very user-friendly."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"The resolution suggestions could be better, and the compliance features could be more customizable for Indian regulations. Overall, the compliance aspects are good. It gives us a comprehensive list, and its feedback is enough to bring us into compliance with regulations, but it doesn't give us the specific objects."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"PingSafe's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."

"Sometimes I got stressed with the UI."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"There's room for improvement, particularly in management capabilities as it may not be comprehensive enough for all customers, and it has been lacking in the realm of cloud security posture management."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
