We performed a comparison between Aqua Cloud Security Platform and Cisco ACI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud and Data Center Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Support is very helpful."
"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 container security element of this product has been very valuable to our organization."
"Their sandboxing service is also really good."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"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 is the security."
"It is very easy to do the configuration after you know how to work with the product. It is global, so you change one interface, and changes are reflected on every switch."
"We can support policy based on our intent, then that gets rendered into the policy that we will be using for Fabric."
"Building the ACI Fabric is its most valuable feature."
"The efficiency in terms of the data center latency has been reduced by around 20-30%. Our applications function a lot better. We get a lot of intuitive data to know how our application stack is performing."
"Centralized management and control of the entire data center environment and its architecture."
"With ACI, if you need more capacity you can just buy more and plug them in without needing to do anything else. All of the sudden that infrastructure is there for me to use, configure, and add stuff to."
"The best part of Cisco ACI is the server deployment and integration."
"The centralized management of the entire network data center, in this case with ACI, is the most valuable feature. By having access to some powerful APIs you can build your own tool to speak to the ACI controller, then with that, you can deploy things really fast. Having the option to build your own tools and then using the centralized management of the ACI to push the configuration to the network devices is very valuable."
"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 improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"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."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"One of the things that makes it a lot more complicated is the way contracts are handled in ACI. Contracts are like their own access lists. They can improve the setting up of contracts between devices a lot. It can be simplified."
"The initial setup was a bit complex. ACI was just out at that time, and there wasn't support at that time."
"It needs more integration with public clouds, like Azure and AWS."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of ACI's integration with various technologies."
"It needs to be able to function on the cloud."
"ACI's blade servers could be more flexible, and its storage interface is a little too complex because they use some third-party storage solution."
"From my point of view, troubleshooting issues relating to ACI can be a little bit complicated to perform."
"Cisco ACI, segmentation-wise, could be more flexible, which is an area for improvement. The solution could be improved in terms of macro or micro-segmentation for many access lists and contracts. The process becomes very messy in the end."
