Metadata governance has improved data lineage visibility but still needs simpler integrations
I know that the integrations are not easy to do, and I believe it happens because it's a customized solution. There always needs to be software developers to work on this. It's complicated; every time we want to integrate new things or new sources, we need to generate a ticket or a request to another department. When I had my experience with Atlan, for example, I was able to connect different sources in a very user-friendly way. I just needed to set up some configurations and connect to the source without having to be a software developer or develop any code in the back end. It was just a feature in the data catalog that enabled me to connect with different kinds of sources. That's why I think the disadvantage of having a customized solution. Although I think Data Hub itself is a very good tool, years ago I had the opportunity to work with it, but with a clear interface and the open-source solution, which was very clear and easy to connect. At Uber, we need to have a request when we want to integrate new sources. Regarding Data Hub's intuitiveness, regarding analytics, I would say that some quality dimensions are available for us. For example, for each field name or each column in a table, it's possible to see the frequency, how many values we have for a specific type or category, and we can see if there are new or null values, whether the columns are empty or not, along with some metrics. This is regarding the data quality dimensions, such as nullables and things of that nature. That is all we have for features. I remember when I was working with Atlan, there was a feature I liked very much—the possibility to have a sample. When I clicked on a table, I could see a short sample without needing SQL skills. I just clicked the table and could see some values or what the table represents; the data catalog would show a screen with some rows of the table. This feature was very good, but we don't have it in Data Hub the way it is implemented at Uber. I think it would be a very good feature for analytics, and we don't have it at the moment. The integration part could be better, but again, it's because it's a customized solution. I think if they used the native version of the tool, it would be simpler. The integration part and the process of setting up new data quality rules would be important for data governance players like me.

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

"Acryl Data helps with processing large amounts of data as it is a very good tool that gives good flexibility to store a huge amount of data and is easier to use."
"Data Hub proved to be a robust, scalable, enterprise-ready data catalog that is well-suited for AWS-based architecture and complex organizational environments."
"One of the biggest advantages of Data Hub is the very good integration, for example, a department focused on development made the integrations between Data Hub and BigQuery."
"Acryl Data has positively impacted my organization by speeding up all the development."
"Data Hub has positively impacted our organization by bringing the tribal knowledge that resides with team members into a single place where users can discover and understand the data elements before they make use of it."
"Data Hub has positively impacted my organization by providing a single source of truth, which means everyone works from the same accurate data set."
"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."
"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."
"Sysdig Secure has many strong foundational features like compliance and benchmark, security, network access management, and vulnerability management."
"The log monitor is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"I see Sysdig as the most comprehensive solution in comparison to its competitors."
"In terms of measurable outcomes, I have seen a reduction in vulnerabilities, as Sysdig Secure can tell us how many vulnerabilities are present on a day-to-day report basis, which has improved our efficiency by more than 50% and helps us stay compliant with necessary regulations."
"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."
 

Cons

"Data Hub could improve with built-in analytics and custom dashboards so we do not have to rely on external tools, which would also make it easier for teams to get insights right inside Data Hub."
"The areas for improvement, in my opinion, are the initial setup and configuration that can be complex without prior experience, especially in large-scale environments."
"In terms of ROI, I would say that Atlan is better. The way Data Hub is implemented at the moment, Atlan is much better; it's much, much faster."
"I chose seven out of ten because there are better catalogs available in the market that offer more features."
"Sysdig's biggest weakness is dashboarding and reporting. You have access to the data and can get everything you need, but we need the ability to summarize the information quickly in a format that senior leaders can understand. We report to the executive level and global board. I need to roll all that in-depth information into a quick summary, and their maturity level isn't there. I'm seeing that on the future road map, but it isn't there now."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting can definitely be better. Live dashboards should be configurable for a longer period of time rather than 30 days. Being able to go back in time to compare six months ago to today would be valuable."
"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."
"I give it an eight because of the bugs, specifically the fix version bug where sometimes there is no fix version shown, and I wish Sysdig Secure would create a customizable UI that orders features by importance to enhance user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing depends on the agents...In short, the price depends on the environment of its user."
"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."
"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."
"It is quite costly compared to other tools."
"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."
