Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The main measurable benefits are faster identification and remediation of findings, fewer issues progressing to later stages, and reduced manual effort for repetitive security checks.
Information Security Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
It is generally used for the DevSecOps pipeline to scan the entire SAST, DAST, or ISC, performing excellently in that area.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We are seeing a return on investment from using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform because we are getting less production issues by thirty percent, as I mentioned earlier, making it a great investment.
DEVOPS specialist at a media company with 10,001+ employees
We do not need to look at all the day's metrics on Grafana dashboards; we run our chaos experiments in a production environment to see how reliable our product or service is.

Room For Improvement

Aqua Cloud Security needs better affordability, reporting, intelligence, documentation, user interface, integrations, and AI-driven prioritization enhancements.
Gremlin could improve through AI-driven analysis, better user onboarding, expanded service integrations, enhanced UI, and additional learning resources.
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 Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
For the licensing part and AI-driven prioritization, this needs improvement. While Aqua Cloud Security Platform prioritizes findings using CVSS and policy context, if we compare it with Wiz and Prisma Cloud, they are increasingly using AI-driven risk scoring that incorporates exploitability, identity exposure, internet reachability, and business context.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
There should be stronger automation for creating tickets and tracking remediation through closure, which is particularly useful for day-to-day security operations.
Information Security Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
I think it would be useful to have some integration with Splunk or other log collectors, or maybe in the future, the ability to link Dynatrace or any other observability platform.
Dev Ops To Development (IT) at a non-tech company with self employed
If we can integrate it with natural language, could we talk to Gremlin Reliability Management Platform and have it configure some of the basic settings so that non-technical persons can also work on Gremlin Reliability Management Platform-like tools?
DEVOPS specialist at a media company with 10,001+ employees
The user interface is great, the integration is smooth, and Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has a fantastic support team that helps us a lot in many cases.
DevOps & Mlops Engineer at a printing company with 1-10 employees
 

Setup Cost

Aqua Cloud's pricing is workload-based, competitive, flexible, and perceived as more cost-effective compared to Prisma and Splunk.
Enterprise users value Gremlin's platform for reliability and risk management, justifying costs despite visibility challenges in dashboards.
Compared to other vendors, Aqua Cloud Security Platform's pricing is good or lesser.
Cyber Security Practice Lead 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
Overall, it is good. Not too high, not too low.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is not so cheap, but it has very powerful features.
Dev Ops To Development (IT) at a non-tech company with self employed
From a pricing standpoint of view regarding Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, I would say it is a bit expensive, but that expense is worth it given the kind of benefits it offers.
VP Global at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
My role does not incur costs for us since we have an NFR for Gremlin Reliability Management Platform that we can use in our case.
DevOps & Mlops Engineer at a printing company with 1-10 employees

Cyber Security Practice Lead 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
There are really two pathways along: fewer incidents because with Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we can make every part of the infrastructure more solid, and less downtime because we can test more architectures and then things like how to put in high availability clusters.
Dev Ops To Development (IT) at a non-tech company with self employed
We fix failures even before they occur, which is basically proactive risk detection and risk mitigation.
VP Global at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

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.
Ravi Konduru - PeerSpot reviewer
VP Global at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Proactive failure testing has increased confidence and reliability across complex microservices
There are certain areas where I think Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can improve. I would certainly add features related to AI and GenAI for recommendations. While dependency identification works well seamlessly, deeper dependency intelligence is lacking. When you have deeper dependencies, reliability management can struggle with identifying those deeper dependency intelligences. Having the intelligence to deeply analyze dependencies will be very helpful. Regarding reliability scores, while those scores are good, having more actionable reliability scores is something I would recommend adding to the existing system. Initially, when I started with Gremlin Reliability Management Platform certification programs, I completed two certifications with Gremlin—one professional and another practitioner. While that certification has helped me, an easier onboarding and learning curve for bringing people into this program can be adjusted. That is one current gap I see. If you really look at the cost-benefit visibility, it is not very evident by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform. If Gremlin Reliability Management Platform could help realize that and bring in visibility regarding the cost versus the benefit, that is the reason I provide a score less than ten. From a standpoint of simulating complex real-world failures, I believe there is still a gap concerning gap identification. Currently, Gremlin Reliability Management Platform mainly focuses on infrastructure-level failures and does not really simulate business logic failures, data corruption scenarios, or potential failures across regions. One of the key elements needing improvement with Gremlin Reliability Management Platform is the limited team workflow integration I see in my organization. Collaboration and limited team workflow integration are areas I would highlight as needing improvement.
