#1 Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks

Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is ranked as PeerSpot’s #1 Cloud Security Posture Management Tool. Our users give Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks an average rating of 8 out of 10.

Luke L., Cloud Security Specialist at a financial services firm, says, “For me, what was valuable from the outset was the fact that, regardless of what cloud service provider you're with, I could segregate visibility of specific accounts to account owners. For example, at AWS, you might have an estate that's solely managed by yourself, or there might be a number of teams within the organization that do so. You can also integrate with Amazon Managed Services. You can also get a snapshot in time, whether that's over a 24-hour period, seven days, or a month, to determine what the estate might look like at a certain point in time and generate reports from that for vulnerability management forums.”

A Director, Cloud Engineering at a pharma/biotech company, mentions, "The ability to monitor the artifact repository is one of the most valuable features because we have a disparate set of development processes, but everything tends to land in a common set of artifact repositories. The solution gives us a single point where we can apply security control for monitoring. That's really helpful."

A Security Architect at an educational organization comments, "The application visibility is amazing. For example, sometimes we don't know what a particular custom port is for and what is running on it. The visibility enables us to identify applications, what the protocol is, and what service is behind it. Within Azure, it is doing a great job of providing visibility. We know exactly what is passing through our network. If there is an issue of any sort we are able to quickly detect it and fix the problem."

#2 Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management

Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is ranked as PeerSpot’s #2 Cloud Security Posture Management Tool. Our users give Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management an average rating of 8 out of 10.

An Advisory Information Security Analyst at a financial services firm expresses, “The policy compliance piece is probably the most valuable. It provides monitoring of your environment and whether you are actively looking at it. So, if I have a user who will try to spin up a network in the cloud that isn't inline with our policies, it will automatically stop that from being able to be created, then delete it. Therefore, it will take action whether or not we are explicitly looking at the platform, keeping it in compliance with the rest of the company at all times.

Basil D., Sr. Manager IT Security at a financial services firm, says, "It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment."

A Network Security Engineer/Architect at a tech services company, mentions, "On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us from this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures."

#3 Orca Security

Orca Security is ranked as PeerSpot’s #3 Cloud Security Posture Management Tool. Our users give Orca Security an average rating of 10 out of 10.

A CISO at a tech services company says, "Orca's SideScanning is the biggest feature. It's the 'wow' factor... With Orca's SideScanning, they just need permissions for your account and that makes it so simple. Another valuable feature with Orca, something that's not talked about enough, is its ability to rank your gaps and your tasks... You can get visibility with agents and there are a lot of ways to do that. But the ranking and the context across the entire environment, that is what is unique about Orca."

A Chief Risk Officer at a financial services firm comments, “Orca provides X-ray vision into everything within the cloud properties, whereas normally, this would require multiple tools. As an analogy, for on-premises equipment, you would need different tools to be able to see the performance of a system, determine what versions of software applications are installed, and look at the security. You would need yet another one to give you a holistic view of all of the hardware inside of the system.”

Shahar M., CISO at a recruiting/HR firm, explains, "Orca gives you great visibility into your assets. It shows you the issues and the things that you need to attend to first, by prioritizing things. You can see a lot of information that is not always visible, even to DevOps, to help you know about the machines and their status. It's very easy to see everything in a single dashboard. That makes it a very useful tool."

#4 Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform

Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform is ranked as PeerSpot’s #4 Cloud Security Posture Management Tool. Our users give Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform an average rating of 8 out of 10.

Skyler C., Software Development Manager at Rent Dynamics, says, "The most valuable feature is the SecOps because they have our back and they help us with the reports... It's like having an extension of your team. And then, it grows with you."

An IT Engineer at a consultancy mentions that the solution has a “Good threat and vulnerability manager with very helpful technical support.”

#5 C3M Cloud Control

C3M Cloud Control is ranked as PeerSpot’s #5 Cloud Security Posture Management Tool.

A Chief Catalyst at a tech services company expresses, “One of the key things we found is it doesn't focus on a single cloud. It gives you a uniform way to essentially tackle a multi-cloud environment - that means we're able to use Azure, AWS, and GCP. You can start to work with it uniformly without having to really get down to the intricacies of each cloud platform.”
