Find out in this report how the two Container Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."WAF is useful to track mitigation, inclusion, prevention, and the parametric firewall."
"The stability of the product is very impressive since it handles 60,000 to 70,000 requests or transactions per second."
"NGINX App Protect is stable."
"It has the best documentation features."
"The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is its open source."
"It is a stable solution."
"NGINX App Protect has complete control over the HTTP session."
"It is a very good tool for load balancing."
"The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers."
"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 updated its interface, making it more user-friendly. I find it particularly useful as it allows me to easily navigate the dashboard and prioritize actions based on severity and criticality."
"It's for protection. It's an agentless tool. We don't need to install anything at a customer's premises. We can just scan the entire assets in the cloud."
"Orca provides X-ray vision into everything within the cloud properties, whereas normally, this would require multiple tools."
"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."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The integration of NGINX App Protect could improve."
"It's challenging if you need to go for a high throughput."
"I encountered issues with NGINX App Protect while trying to upgrade custom rules."
"They could provide a better user interface."
"Currently, the policies have to be handled manually, and you have to create from scratch, which can be a bit time-consuming, in a large environment."
"NGINX App Protect could improve security."
"Setting policies and parameters through the UI should be more automated because the process is manual, where we can only edit one rule at a time."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards more elaborative and more descriptive."
"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."
"Another improvement would be that, in addition to focusing on endpoint compliance, they would focus on general compliance."
"It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."
"I would like to see an option to do security checks on a code level. This is possible because they have access to all of the code running in the cloud provider, and combining their site-scanning solution with that would be a nice add-on."
"I would like to see better customization options for security frameworks and better integration with reporting tools like Power BI or Grafana dashboards."
"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options. They're working on that, but the more the better. For example, if they want you to harden a server, they would offer a hardening script that would be more aware of what's going on."
"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."
