Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
I use the solution to provide general security for my enterprise clients, primarily for servers. Deployments include cloud and on-prem.  I've been deploying Trend Micro for my clients for a long time, which has been a significant factor in our security posture. The solution's endpoint protection…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution was very user-friendly."
"Their sandboxing service is also really good."
"The most helpful feature of Aqua Security is Drift Prevention, which is a feature that allows images to be immutable. In addition, one of the main reasons we went with Aqua Security is because it provides strong protection when it comes to runtime security."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment."
"The most valuable feature of Aqua Security is the scanner."
"Aqua Security allowed us to gain visibility into the vulnerabilities that were present in the container images, that were being rolled out, the amount of risk that we were introducing to the platform, and provided us a look into the container environment by introducing access control mechanisms. In addition, when it came to runtime-level policies, we could restrict container access to resources in our environment, such as network-level or other application-level access."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice."
"It can scale well."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"There's useful monitoring on offer."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"It's scalable."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"Sometimes I got stressed with the UI."
"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."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"In the solution, servers often go offline for various reasons, requiring us to manually check the cause or issue, such as connectivity issues, and to find out why the agent went offline."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"The solution could use more integration."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."
"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."
"It comes at a reasonable cost."
"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."
"The pricing of this solution could be improved."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
