Room For Improvement

Aqua Cloud Security Platform needs UI clarity, better documentation, simpler licensing, improved integration, and enhanced runtime security.
TrendAI Deep Security needs better user interface, integration, pricing, and documentation for enhanced usability and competitive advantage.
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
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 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
User experience improvement is most crucial, along with enhancements in policy management and the accuracy of the IPS, IDS features for real-time protection.
Microsoft Security Department at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
By seeing the dashboards, executives should understand whether our servers are secure or if there are vulnerabilities, which should be showcased immediately, indicating reasons for risk.

Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers.

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 Architect at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We give a fair comparison of all the products, and give them clear insights of the products, which makes it helpful for the customer to make a final decision to purchase the license or product.

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.

Virtual patching has protected critical workloads and reduced downtime across financial environments
The best features Trend Micro Deep Security offers include virtual patching and comprehensive protection from multiple modules such as anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, integrity monitoring, and log inspection. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and helps us integrate multiple products with Deep Security. The user-friendly aspect and integration of Trend Micro Deep Security have helped my team significantly. For example, we can integrate our SIEM product, Active Directory, and multiple platforms. If an operations engineer cannot find something or forgets about a suspicious activity, we can identify the suspicious thing with the help of the SIEM. With Active Directory, we maintain our compliance, checking which server has Deep Security and which does not. By integrating these solutions, we effectively maintain compliance in our environment. Trend Micro Deep Security has positively impacted our organization because we have implemented it for multiple purposes, primarily for server security. It is installed on both multiple virtual and physical servers with minimal performance impact. It has been extremely stable throughout our usage, with no major disturbances.
