Organizing research experiments has improved and supports faster model comparison and learning
My experience with Comet has been very positive, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the learning curve for new users. Some of the more advanced features can feel overwhelming at first, especially for students who are new to machine learning experiment tracking. More beginner-friendly tutorials and guided onboarding would help. I would also like to see more customization options for dashboards and visualizations, making it easier to create views tailored to specific projects. Another improvement would be deeper integration with commonly used collaboration tools, which would streamline project documentation and team workflows. There are a few additional areas where Comet could improve. From a performance perspective, I occasionally notice that dashboards with a large number of experiments can take longer to load or navigate. Regarding documentation, while the available resources are helpful, I would appreciate more beginner-focused examples, step-by-step tutorials, and real-world use cases. For support, my experience has generally been good, but having more community resources, discussion forums, webinars, or educational content specifically aimed at students and researchers would be valuable.

Runtime threat detection has improved and security teams prioritize real Kubernetes risks
The best feature Sysdig Secure offers is threat detection. The threat detection feature on Sysdig Secure stands out compared to other solutions I have seen or used because Sysdig sees the actual behavior inside the container or kernel and correlates it with Kubernetes infrastructure, which makes detection both earlier and more precise in a cloud-native environment. Sysdig Secure has positively impacted our organization by improving visibility into our Kubernetes environment and focusing on real risk, which has reduced alert noise, improved threat detection at runtime, and made vulnerability management more efficient by prioritizing issues that actually affect running workloads.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I estimate I spend around thirty to forty percent less time organizing and comparing experiment results compared to manual tracking."
"I feel that I save about one hour of work per day thanks to Comet."
"I save approximately thirty percent of overall time in the release cycle thanks to Comet."
"Comet has positively impacted my organization by definitely reducing my manual work."
"Model metric tracking and comparison has been extremely beneficial, and Comet's customer service has also been excellent—any issue we've had, they have been able to help us resolve."
"The best features Comet offers include the agentic capability that I previously explained, where it compares and acts upon my instructions, goes through websites, makes summaries, and drafts emails, which is what I actually appreciate most in Comet browser."
"Comet's return on investment is evident through significant time reduction, which is the most crucial factor I have observed."
"Comet has positively impacted my organization because it's a good system, and the interface is really simple and easy to use, which allows everyone to have a look at these health and safety investigations, of course, if they have access through the company itself."
"I have not seen any stability issues so far."
"The most valuable feature is the level of support that we get. Our solutions or customer success representative is very valuable. I see them as an extension of our security team."
"Sysdig Secure has positively impacted our organization by improving visibility into our Kubernetes environment and focusing on real risk, which has reduced alert noise, improved threat detection at runtime, and made vulnerability management more efficient by prioritizing issues that actually affect running workloads."
"From a container-based standpoint, it offers excellent scalability to its users...I would tell those planning to use the solution that, from a container standpoint, it's excellent."
"Sysdig Secure has many strong foundational features like compliance and benchmark, security, network access management, and vulnerability management."
"I see Sysdig as the most comprehensive solution in comparison to its competitors."
"We appreciate this feature, especially when combined with CD monitoring. The implementation of requested features has been remarkable, such as scanning for compliance in CRM processes for the US government. We heavily rely on this feature to assess compliance with federal requirements."
"The tool has the capability to conduct scans initially. It can perform scans on your virtual machines, physical machines, containers, and container images. A standout feature is its ability to scan offline container images stored in your container registry. Additionally, it can scan runtime images in your cluster or on your host machine. This allows for the detection of vulnerabilities in running containers, including loaded libraries. Notably, the tool can identify which library vulnerabilities are already present in your system. An added advantage is its capacity to take action beyond threat detection. It has the ability to block access and respond to encountered threats."
 

Cons

"I have identified some areas for improvement in Comet, particularly regarding high-quality prompting for AI questions."
"The only thing I wish for is that Comet runs a bit slower than I would prefer."
"I feel that Comet needs to enhance security; I believe we could be hacked, risking information leaks."
"The agent technology hallucinates frequently, so it can give me wrong summaries or decisions and misinterpret some information."
"Comet can be improved by being more stable and providing security features similar to Brave."
"SageMaker itself has a cumbersome interface, which makes launching Comet somewhat of a hassle."
"Some areas I believe Comet can improve include scalability limits, as I face challenges when scaling."
"From a performance perspective, I occasionally notice that dashboards with a large number of experiments can take longer to load or navigate."
"The dashboard could be more simple and show the more important issues that are detected first. We'd like to be able to set it up so more important issues show up more prominently in the dashboard."
"The solution needs to improve overall from a CSPM standpoint since they can't compete with Wiz or Orca."
"Sysdig Secure works well for us, but there are a few areas for improvement, such as the alerting and notification system being more flexible for complex workflows, and some dashboard and reporting features could be more customizable to match specific team needs."
"They should make it specific with a couple of features only."
"Sysdig Secure needs to scale more for complete cloud-native coverage."
"Perhaps, it could support more custom implementations, as our company utilizes custom implementations rather than standard ones. Configuring it requires a deep understanding and adjustment to our specific needs, which took some time. Other than that, I'm unsure about potential improvements. We were considering the possibility of compartmentalizing their tools. Currently, in Sysdig Secure, they bundle multiple features, and we are unable to use them individually. For instance, if we only need compliance scanning, we have to deploy the entire secure package. This is because of the way their agent functions, but I can't delve into more details."
"There was a security concern related to a specific feature. While the feature itself was promising, it posed a challenge. The situation revolved around code scanning. If your source code is hosted within your own premises, say on Bitbucket, you naturally wouldn't want your code to be accessible to external parties beyond your company. Keeping your code base private is a standard practice. However, in the case of code scanning using Sysdig Secure, they copy your code to their SaaS platform. This posed an issue for us. When we inquired about this, their response acknowledged the concern. In an upcoming release, they plan to enable code scanning within your on-premises environment through the assistance of an agent. This change is already in progress. While this tool stands out compared to existing solutions in the market, it's important to note that there are still some limitations to consider. Another drawback we encountered relates to our expertise with Kubernetes. The tool can monitor Kubernetes audit logs, triggering alerts and notifications. However, it falls short in terms of taking direct action based on these alerts. There are different methods of event capture, including through system labels and system calls, as well as via Kubernetes audit events. Notably, at the system level, Sysdig Secure can both detect and respond to events, allowing actions like blocking and warning. This proactive approach is effective at the system call level. However, when it comes to monitoring Kubernetes audit events, Sysdig Secure can only notify without being able to execute any further actions. It can't block access or containers. The vendor likened their role to that of a monitoring camera, observing events and sending notifications without the capacity to intervene. This limitation applies to Kubernetes audit events. Given that everything operates within our system, there is a workaround available: configuring system-level policies to block containers as necessary."
"Banks and financial institutions cannot use Sysdig Secure because it doesn't sell SaaS-hosted versions for under two hundred working nodes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is quite costly compared to other tools."
"In comparison to other cloud solutions, it's reasonably priced. However, when compared to in-house built open-source projects, it might be considered somewhat costly. The cost depends on whether someone sees the support provided by Sysdig as an advantage or if it's deemed unnecessary. Personally, I find the support to be excellent and consider it a good value."
"Sysdig is competitive. The quality matches the pricing. Obviously, everyone wants things to be cheaper, but if you're realistic, you acknowledge that quality service comes with a price. Sysdig is the gold standard for Kubernetes, and I wouldn't choose anything else. We live in Kubernetes. Everything is containerized, so that means a lot to us, and we're willing to make an investment."
"I am always going to say that it could be a little bit cheaper. I do feel that it is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The solution's pricing depends on the agents...In short, the price depends on the environment of its user."
