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.

Unified monitoring has reduced alert noise and provides accurate, proactive application security
Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made. More customization options for dashboards and reports would help teams tailor the platform to their specific metrics and workflows. I also occasionally encounter DevOps tools that are not yet supported natively. Expanded coverage for niche or emerging tools would make onboarding even smoother. These points, however, are minor compared to the overall value the platform delivers, especially given the strength of its AI-driven detection, remediation, and supply chain protection capabilities. It would also be an improvement for licensing with regard to on-premise variants. Perhaps we could have an on-premise option for standard subscription.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Orca Security is the best one for me because it delivers all the things that I need and more."
"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."
"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 impacted my organization positively by giving us visibility on what is happening in the cloud and helping us detect risks fast."
"Orca Security has helped my organization reduce the time it takes to address cloud security alerts, and it does so very fast."
"One of the valuable features of Orca Security is its design and options that allow flexible filtering and user-friendly visualization."
"Before starting with Orca, I was blind; think about someone who was blind and now they can see, it's a new world."
"Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this product, which is the best way I can put it."
"The best Xygeni feature is the ability to filter what is truly important, which really helps me focus on the key vulnerabilities in the software that I am building."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
"I would like to highlight Xygeni's Core AI function, which makes it easier to understand security information for both technical leaders as well as for those who are higher up in business management, helping make smarter, faster decisions and offering more secure developments in less time."
"Xygeni provides a comprehensive and developer-friendly approach to securing the entire software supply chain."
"The visibility of our open-source supply chain dependencies and real-time detection of vulnerabilities have been invaluable."
 

Cons

"I believe they need more time developing this solution, which means they need to be more comprehensive and extended in their approach."
"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 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."
"The documentation for Orca Security could be improved."
"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."
"There is one issue that I encountered: when Orca Security provides CVEs and we attempt to implement its solutions, sometimes those solutions are not available on the cloud and cannot be implemented."
"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."
"Orca Security can be improved by adding more connectivity and more integrations because the world is moving so fast that having integrations is really poor compared to other vendors."
"Xygeni could be improved if on-premise options were available starting from the starter packages, not only the enterprise models."
"Xygeni can be more automated."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"I think Xygeni could be improved by having more information in the form of videos in Spanish and more use cases to share it with more prospects."
"Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."
"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."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"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."
"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."
"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."
