Arka Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer

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."
"After implementing DataDome, we observed measurable improvements across security, performance, and user experience."
"The main improvements have been better protection, reduced operational noise, improved system stability, and lower manual effort in handling bot-related incidents."
"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."
"With Orca, I feel confident that I have full coverage of all of my resources."
"Orca Security is easier to use than other alternatives; you need a little skill to dominate Orca Security compared to other options and Orca Security is more user-friendly and in this case is more enjoyable."
"Using Orca Security, I have visibility in our environment without depending on another team."
"The main feature that I appreciated about Orca Security is that it is 100% agentless and context-aware, meaning it understands what it is doing."
"Orca's SideScanning is the biggest feature. It's the 'wow' factor... With Orca's SideScanning, they just need permissions for your account and that makes it so simple."
"Orca Security has helped my organization reduce the time it takes to address cloud security alerts, and it does so very fast."
"I recommend Orca Security to others looking for a cloud security solution due to its seamless integration and side-scanning technology that does not hamper cloud asset performance."
 

Cons

"While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment."
"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"With DataDome, the biggest friction points we experienced were mostly around tuning and visibility during the early phase."
"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options."
"Orca Security could support its own ticketing tool, which would be helpful for security personnel so they would not need to integrate with any other ticketing tool."
"In two implementation projects that I participated in, the customers reported difficulty with the options for generating specific reports."
"I have concerns about OCI support. When I work with Orca Security, the support for OCI is limited, so I cannot effectively work with the OCI environment."
"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."
"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection."
"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."
"The problem with the Orca Security technical support team and customer service team is that Orca Security is a medium company and I think they do not have a large team."
 

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."
"It is the cost of the visibility that you get. When you really sit down and think about what do you need to do to secure an environment with a low impact on the business, and you take a look out into the world, I think this tool is well justified around cost."
"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."
"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 price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."
