YeAung - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at ATG Systems
Improved investigation efficiency and visibility while custom reporting and integration need enhancement
I would like to see more flexibility in creating custom and scheduled reports in Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting. For example, being able to generate a weekly threat activity summary to specify business unit or cloud account would make it easier to share insights with management and non-technical stakeholders. More native integration with SIEM and SOAR platforms like QRadar, ServiceNow, etc., would reduce manual effort. That way, incidents surfaced in CloudGuard could automatically flow into existing workflows without extra connectors. Adding a way to tag, annotate, or assign investigations inside the platform would make it easier for teams to collaborate without switching to another tool.
Evgeny Shulga - PeerSpot reviewer

Cloud security has improved visibility and automated deep risk investigations across clients
Identifying areas in Orca Security that have room for improvement is challenging, as there are multiple considerations including price, customization, AI, UI, and factors that could make it better or easier to use. I must consult with someone in the field because I cannot provide this information at this time since I am not operating the solution directly. What would make it a ten for me as an integrator is difficult to determine. I believe they need more time developing this solution, which means they need to be more comprehensive and extended in their approach. I think this represents the opinion of the majority.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"During testing, I consistently saw a 70 or 75% faster investigation and reduced analyst workload, which is a concrete way it can deliver our work."
"Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting made our work much easier as it serves as a centralized platform for all my cloud environment and provides workload protection such as malware protection for my entire cloud environment."
"This solution helped me to improve and enhance our security posture."
"Once our organization is configured, any cloud account under that organization is automatically detected in Orca Security, along with all the assets associated with it."
"The GUI features are very good. Threat intelligence is also very good."
"Another valuable feature with Orca, something that's not talked about enough, is its ability to rank your gaps and your tasks... You can get visibility with agents and there are a lot of ways to do that. But the ranking and the context across the entire environment, that is what is unique about Orca."
"The vulnerability management does not require network scanning or agent technology, so I don't need to modify any of my products in order to do vulnerability assessments."
"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."
"In our opinion, Orca Sensor is the best solution available at the moment, and it significantly affects the visibility and protection of environments."
"The product itself is really good. It helped us streamline the way we access our servers."
"The visibility Orca provides into my environment is at the highest level... When I dropped them into the environment, from the very get-go I had more insight into the risks in my environment than I had had during the entire two and a half years I had been here."
 

Cons

"In my testing, Check Point CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting's scalability is not easy; it is a very challenging experience for me."
"Malware protection for my entire cloud environment is an area where improvements are needed."
"The product can be improved by optimizing performance."
"As with all software, the user interface can always be made simpler to use. It would be helpful for people with very little knowledge, like somebody sitting behind the SOC, to allow them to be able to drill down into things a little bit easier than it is currently."
"Orca Security could improve its ticket creation process. Currently, it allows for creating tickets in only one bucket, which requires monitoring to redirect tickets to the appropriate team."
"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."
"The presentation of the data in the dashboard is a little bit chaotic."
"Orca Security could improve its ticket creation process."
"It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards more elaborative and more descriptive."
"Orca needs improvement in snoozing or dismissing specific alarms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."
"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"Its license is a bit expensive."
"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"The pricing depends on how many assets you have running in your cloud and how many environments you have. If you have a dev environment, test environment, and a production environment then it's really important that you have coverage for all of them."
"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
