Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best feature is time to value. With very minimal effort, you are able to have a cohesive view into your security posture on one or multiple cloud accounts, particularly if you are dealing with multicloud. If you have Azure and AWS deployments, you might have multiple subscriptions in Azure and usually multiple accounts in AWS. You may even be doing some GCP work (around Google Cloud Platform). It's very difficult to manage a common set of policies, even less reporting, across multiple subscriptions, accounts, and cloud environments. What BMC Helix Cloud Security does is provide a unified view or single pane of glass as to your baseline. Then, it also facilitates the ability for Level 1 or 2 operations support to take action and report on security vulnerabilities.""The most valuable aspects of BMC Helix Cloud Security are its security features and regulatory compliance capabilities.""It's also multi-cloud. You can look at several cloud providers: AWS, Azure, or GCP.""The cool feature of Helix Cloud Security is that you can do all that — understand and remediate issues — in one dashboard, based on the different policies that are available for security, out-of-the-box.""Role-based security is a valuable feature.""The features that I've found most valuable are its container security aspect. I also like its vulnerability management tools."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost.""The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security.""The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable.""The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward.""The UI has a lot of features.""The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities.""When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."

Cons
"The UI could be more user-friendly.""I want the role-based security feature to be improved.""We've had some with issues connectors. The connectors have seemed to have caused a little bit of trouble, perhaps with the APIs trying to scan the environment. The only time I've had to reach out to tech support was for that. It seems it may not have been scanning correctly or I wasn't seeing data within a specific time. But we've set up a couple of connectors in the past couple of weeks and they actually scanned the AWS environment and we had data within about 10 minutes. It's working a lot faster and I think they're making improvements as they go.""Every organization out there doesn't rely on just one control body. They use FISMA control. They may use HIPAA, CIS, PCI, or SOX, then blend them. One of the things that is now in big demand for BMC Helix Cloud Security is content. That's the next journey in its lifespan, making it easier for the community to share and collaborate on content for security controls that can be measured and remediated.""BMC Helix Cloud Security has room for improvement in terms of integrating its various features."

More BMC Helix Cloud Security Cons →

"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning.""The documentation needs to improve a bit.""SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful.""I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline.""We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines.""The image-scanning features need improvement.""The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is a subscription model with term licensing that is usually yearly. This includes, not only the product, but support and maintenance. It is based on cloud assets. Therefore, if you have 100 cloud assets, those cloud assets are measured based on evaluation or transactions. For example, if I'm evaluating that cloud asset for CIS compliance, PCI compliance, and AWS best practices, that asset gets evaluated three times, as those are three transactions. However, the license model is based on peak asset usage. So, over a year, if you deploy 100, 1000, 500, and then 2000 assets, you will be charged for the 2000 peak of assets managed by Helix Cloud Security."
  • "The pricing is based on an annual subscription, upfront, and it's based on cloud assets. Whether your assets are in Azure and AWS combined, the tool tells you how many assets are being scanned and that's the number used for pricing."
  • More BMC Helix Cloud Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing fees are paid yearly."
  • "The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work."
  • "The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support."
  • "SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution."

This includes container to container traffic, and ingress from external sources to containers, as well as egress from containers to external applications and the internet. The solution aims to protect your applications from internal application level attacks such as DDoS and DNS.
    • Capture packets for debugging and threat investigation: WIth NeuVector, you can view summary connection data and drill down into actual packet details for each container, as they scale up and down. When a threat is detected, NeuVector is able to automatically capture and display the packet info, making it easy for you to investigate.
    • Automated security policies: The NeuVector solution allows you to automate the creation of security policies to protect application workloads in production. The solution also enables you to automate and maintain run-time security policies using Kubernetes custom resource definitions (CRDs), and gives you the option to declare an application security policy at any stage in the pipeline.
    • Compliance: NeuVector offers detection capabilities and security policy enforcement that prevent PHI and PII exposure, exceed requirements, and simplify reporting for PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and more. The solution helps you track critical vulnerabilities and compliance violations so you can quickly identify any that require immediate patching or followup alerts. It also makes it possible for you to manage vulnerability and compliance scan results, with no required integration to external workflow tools.
