Featured Reviews

Arka Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Support Development Engineer at Ericsson Global
Real-time bot defense has protected telecom APIs and now keeps customer logins secure
While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment. One point is better handling of false positives. Although it is generally very accurate, in some cases, legitimate users or internal systems get flagged, especially corporate VPN users, internal testing tools, and partner integrations. The improvement would be a more granular and easier whitelisting mechanism and better transparency on why a request was blocked. Another point is more detailed analytics and custom reporting. The current dashboards are good, but sometimes detailed analysis is limited. Custom reporting options are not very flexible. As part of improvement, more customizable dashboards can be made, along with the ability to create business-specific reports, for each API and per region. Better visibility for API-level protection can also be developed. The protection works well, but debugging blocked API requests can take time and is not always easy to trace the exact reason for blocking, thus requiring more detailed logs and traceability for API traffic, along with easier correlation with backend systems. The integration with the existing security ecosystem can also be improved.
Nykole Denoo - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Analyst at BNY
Cloud risk visibility has transformed how I prioritize threats and reduce unnecessary spend
From my perspective, Orca Security is a really good tool. I would say one area I would like to see CNAPP platforms get is more intelligence when it comes to risk prioritization, which correlates with vulnerability, exposing assets, identities, and active threats to help the security team focus on risks that are more likely to be exploited. I am a huge advocate for automation. I also think deeper automation for remediation or stronger integration with ticketing and CI/CD pipelines or more customization would help. Executive reporting would help the security team respond significantly faster and communicate risk more effectively if those kinds of improvements are made.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"The main improvements have been better protection, reduced operational noise, improved system stability, and lower manual effort in handling bot-related incidents."
"After implementing DataDome, we observed measurable improvements across security, performance, and user experience."
"Orca Security typically delivers three major positive changes, in my opinion: a faster understanding of risks in cloud environments, better prioritization, and less noise."
"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."
"The GUI features are very good. Threat intelligence is also very good."
"Orca Security has positively impacted my organization by improving our security posture and hardening our services and resources."
"I appreciate Orca Security because I can see CSPM, KSPM, and DSPM, and it works with major security frameworks such as NIST and CIS, allowing me to see comprehensive insights on my cloud environment, with CI/CD integration and shift-left configuration that helps me improve cloud maturity and DevSecOps maturity as a complete CNAPP platform with the most capabilities to work with cloud security."
"Orca is much better than their competitor; they're the best in their space, they're the best in the security tool industry, and they're probably the best in terms of companies that I've worked with in general."
"Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this product, which is the best way I can put it."
"Before starting with Orca, I was blind; think about someone who was blind and now they can see, it's a new world."
 

Cons

"With DataDome, the biggest friction points we experienced were mostly around tuning and visibility during the early phase."
"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment."
"Orca Security can be improved as there should be some kind of central pane of glass. Similar to how cloud management works, Orca Security should have something comparable."
"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."
"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it."
"A notable limitation with Orca Security is its scanning feature. The automatic scan only runs every 24 hours, and if an alert is remediated within an hour, it still remains until the next scheduled scan."
"I think the downside of Orca Security is the reports."
"A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI."
"I would like to see an option to do security checks on a code level."
"The main drawback in an agentless approach is that if the solution detects a virus or malware in the environment, we need to manually remove it. But from my experience with other production environments, it's not straightforward to install agents in the hope they will automatically remediate viruses, even from production environments... Ultimately, the ability to auto-remediate is something that I would like to see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
"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."
"Its license is a bit expensive."
"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."
"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."
"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
