Automated bot detection has protected logins and preserved accurate analytics insights
The best features in DataDome include AI-powered bot detection, which is crucial for real-time protection and high accuracy with low friction. It offers protection against multiple attack types, full visibility, and an analytics dashboard that supports scalability and performance. The AI-powered real-time bot detection feature is relied upon daily as it eliminates the need for constant manual intervention, saving us from manually digging through logs and writing custom rules to address sudden traffic spikes, login failures, and slower response times. With fewer security incidents, reduced infrastructure load, and cleaner analytics, I noticed an improved user experience and time saved across teams during high-risk times.

Agentless cloud security has improved attack path visibility but still needs stronger real-time blocking
Yes, as per my experience, it has been very helpful. In our organization, we did not find any major or priority one kind of alerts or risks because we had a very good infrastructure structure and cybersecurity architecture built in our organization. Orca Security helped us find what vulnerabilities or gaps existed which we could improve within our architecture. It helped us in such a way that we used to close the open ports and only allowed internal IPs for necessity. For staging environments and for prod we had DOS protection. If network traffic showed that anybody was trying to flood our systems, we would only accept all and our client-related IPs or an approved list of vendor lists we would have. We would get to know where the gaps are and where the improvements we could make. Being an analyst class engineer, I could use my brain in those areas and it was very helpful to have Orca Security in my arsenal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest positive impact of using DataDome has been stability, efficiency, and trust in our traffic all at the same time."
"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"Orca's dashboard is excellent. My team needs to be able to focus on specific areas for improvement in our cloud environment. And most recently, we've started to get good use out of sonar, the search capabilities, and the alert creation."
"I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration."
"Orca Security integration was one of the easiest we have done because it is cloud-native and agentless."
"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."
"I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration."
"It covers our entire multi-cloud environment in a single view and tells us everything we need to know about our vulnerability footprint."
"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."
"Orca Security has patented technologies. It's an agentless solution, so you don't need to install an agent. Instead, it contacts your account provider and fetches metadata, eliminating the need for snapshots or reserved space to copy client infrastructure."
 

Cons

"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"Needed improvements could focus on specific aspects that impact my workflow, enabling even more streamlined processes."
"Orca Security can be improved as it is very good at posture, but it does not detect attacks or behavioral attacks in the cloud on its own; it depends on other security features or logs like GuardDuty from Amazon, lacking its own intelligence to detect and respond to attacks."
"I think Orca could give me more alerts. It could give me a dashboard with all the specific types of alerts I want to see for the day."
"As with all software, the user interface can always be made simpler to use."
"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."
"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."
"In the future, I'd like to see Orca work better with third-party vendors. Specifically, being able to provide sanitized results from third parties."
"In the future, I'd like to see Orca work better with third-party vendors, specifically being able to provide sanitized results from third parties."
"The difference between agentless and agent solutions is that while agentless provides great visibility, it does not offer real-time blocking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"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."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."
"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."
"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
