Centralized secret management has improved multi-cloud security and automated key rotation
I sometimes feel that there are documentation gaps in Akeyless Secrets Management. The documentation could be more detailed for advanced integrations and troubleshooting. Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced. It is completely closed-source. If something goes wrong or someone hacks Akeyless Secrets Management, there is a huge drawback. These are concerns my organization and many other organizations are facing. The UI/UX could be better on the homepage and many other pages. Pricing transparency should also be improved. The pricing should include discounted pricing for regular customers or regular enterprise customers.

Cloud posture management has improved remediation and optimizes costs with contextual risk insights
Since I have not used Orca Security for 10 months, I am uncertain what areas still need improvement, as they may have rolled out features that addressed issues I faced in the past. However, I can say the tool is good. A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI. What I observed is that they release updates to the platform without notifying the customer. Every time the UI is upgraded, they release something without notification. This could be a slight improvement. If they released some kind of notification to just inform the customer about UI changes, the customer would be aware of the changes that Orca Security is making in the backend.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Akeyless Secrets Management has positively impacted my organization as it helped store our secrets in a right way, in a proper controlled way where you can view, update, and at the same time, it helps in updating the passwords very effectively in the cloud running environment."
"Akeyless Secrets Management stands out because it combines SaaS simplicity with a Zero-Knowledge cryptographic design, reducing operational overhead without fully sacrificing control."
"Akeyless Secrets Management is a very good tool, and I have not used a better one than it."
"I would recommend others to use Akeyless Secrets Management; it is a brilliant security platform, very easy to use, and does exactly what it says it should."
"Orca Security is very good for faster management due to their CNAP, which stands for Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, consolidating CSPM, CWPM, CWPP, and CAEM, including entitlement management and vulnerability scanning, into a single platform so we can check data-related security posture management across various domains, including security and multi-cloud compliance, and put security at the forefront rather than waiting until project completion."
"The product itself is really good. It helped us streamline the way we access our servers."
"Orca Security has impacted my organization positively by giving us visibility on what is happening in the cloud and helping us detect risks fast."
"Orca Security integration was one of the easiest we have done because it is cloud-native and agentless."
"Orca Security saves resources because it provides the actual output on the screen with the package path."
"The vulnerability management does not require network scanning or agent technology, so I don't need to modify any of my products in order to do vulnerability assessments."
"With its Cloud Security Posture Management capability, we have the ability to read across all of our cloud-based environments, which includes AWS and Azure. We have visibility into those environments. Seeing all vulnerabilities and configurations is really powerful for us, but ultimately, the ability to use the API to query across the fleet to understand what is the current state, what is the patch level, which ones are potentially exposed for a new CVE that just came out is even more valuable. It allows us to gather really specific intelligence through simple queries."
"I appreciate Orca Security because I can see CSPM, KSPM, and DSPM, and it works with major security frameworks such as NIST and CIS, allowing me to see comprehensive insights on my cloud environment, with CI/CD integration and shift-left configuration that helps me improve cloud maturity and DevSecOps maturity as a complete CNAPP platform with the most capabilities to work with cloud security."
 

Cons

"Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced."
"Akeyless Secrets Management platform could be improved with a more beginner-friendly interface."
"The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off."
"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options."
"There is one issue that I encountered: when Orca Security provides CVEs and we attempt to implement its solutions, sometimes those solutions are not available on the cloud and cannot be implemented."
"We are PCI DSS compliant, so we need to scan our environment externally with tools vetted by the PCI DSS organization. Orca doesn't scan the environment externally. It only scans what's currently in the cloud."
"I have concerns about OCI support. When I work with Orca Security, the support for OCI is limited, so I cannot effectively work with the OCI environment."
"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection."
"It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."
"I work in an SMB organization and find Orca Security quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
"Its license is a bit expensive."
"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."
"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."
"It is the cost of the visibility that you get. When you really sit down and think about what do you need to do to secure an environment with a low impact on the business, and you take a look out into the world, I think this tool is well justified around cost."
