6.3
Digital.ai Release offers robust scalability for varied deployments, relying on hardware resources but lacks auto-scaling capabilities.

Room For Improvement

Aqua Cloud Security Platform requires enhanced training, documentation, reporting, integration, scalability, and modern security technology integration for improved usability.
Digital.ai Release needs improved UX, better onboarding, enhanced automation, integration, testing, cost efficiency, and plugin support.
Risk prioritization in security graphs is a point where Aqua Cloud Security Platform is less mature than Wiz, which excels at identifying critical vulnerabilities as a single attack path.
Cyber Security Architect at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Alert noise and tuning are required because Aqua generates a large number of initial alerts that need tuning to reduce false positives.
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
A user interface that integrates smoothly with CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes clusters would be a significant improvement.
IT platform engineer at Infosys via consign Space Solutions pvt ltd
If we had an API that could be used on the user side, similar to the one in JIRA where we can create a personal token without granting full access to Digital.ai Release, I could have my script automate the process instead of fulfilling the template field by field, which would be excellent.
Release Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
New users may take time to understand release pipelines and templates, so more guided onboarding tutorials and documentation would help them adapt easily.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.
Application Architect at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Aqua Cloud Security Platform offers flexible pricing based on workload, appealing to enterprises seeking tailored container security solutions.
Digital.ai Release is cost-effective with easy integration, though enterprise licenses are expensive; finance teams manage licensing well.
Compared to other vendors, Aqua Cloud Security Platform's pricing is good or lesser.
Cyber Security Architect at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The license and setup costs have been reasonable, though a challenge arises when deploying the entire application in our own cloud, as we must manage everything from scratch.
Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
I am not directly involved in the pricing part, but while implementing Aqua Cloud Security Platform, I have seen that pricing is quite higher, especially for large-grade enterprises.
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Digital.ai Release is affordable in terms of pricing and setup cost.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Digital.ai Release are a little expensive when I look at it, especially the enterprise-level licenses.

Valuable Features

Aqua Cloud Security Platform provides comprehensive container and Kubernetes security, integrating smoothly with systems for enhanced protection and visibility.
Digital.ai Release improves deployment with automated workflows, tool integration, error recovery, and enhanced tracking and communication capabilities.
Aqua provides end-to-end security across containers, Kubernetes, serverless, and cloud workloads starting from build, deployment, runtime, and compliance in one platform.
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Aqua Cloud Security Platform positively impacted my organization by allowing deployment from code to cloud in the entire CI/CD pipeline, with excellent capabilities and recent AI application security that is useful in the DevSecOps platform.
Cyber Security Architect at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The best feature of Aqua Cloud Security Platform is the Kubernetes security, which secures admission controllers, runtime policies, namespace protection, and RBAC and pod security.
Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
We don't need to make a specific deployment artifact for dev, test, or production; it is all the same artifact using environment variables, ensuring what we take to production is what was tested.
Software Configuration Specialist at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Digital.ai Release standardizes the release process across teams.
Cloud Platform at Futurescape
Involving both infrastructure and application teams in the same pipeline has genuinely helped my process, as we have one specific person starting the pipeline, another approving it, and another coordinating as DevOps or monitoring all processes from the infrastructure side, providing excellent assistance because we have different and clearly separated responsibilities.

Samir Paul - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Secures cloud workloads from build to runtime and has needed simpler setup and alert tuning
Regarding how Aqua Cloud Security Platform can be improved, the first area is the complex initial setup. Deployment and configuration can be complex, especially in large environments that require skilled resources. For Kubernetes environments, initial onboarding and policy setup takes time. Compared to Wiz onboarding, it is not very straightforward, as I have also worked with Wiz. The UI is powerful but not very simple for new users, as navigation and dashboard can be overwhelming. Alert noise and tuning are required because Aqua generates a large number of initial alerts that need tuning to reduce false positives. Additionally, pricing can be high depending on workload scale, especially for large Kubernetes and multi-cloud environments. For improvements to Aqua Cloud Security Platform, I think better integration with SOAR and XDR platforms, more AI-driven prioritization, and providing simpler out-of-the-box policies would be beneficial.

Standardized releases have reduced errors and now streamline our cloud resource management
To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved. For example, I have a plan phase before my build phase, and sometimes the toggle button is hidden. I have to toggle it before the step can be executed, or it will be skipped. Many people who did not use Digital.ai Release before do not even know there is a toggle button, and the first time when they run into that phase, they will definitely skip that step. Regarding needed improvements, I did not do extensive reading on documentation or training material directly from Digital.ai Release. My knowledge comes from the team who has been using it. However, I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.
