Query automation has reduced investigation time and frees our team to focus on complex DevOps tasks
The best features Query.ai offers make anything with queries much easier, and it ensures that it is very optimistically correct with whatever it is doing. It also delivers access throughout real-time and historical data, making it really quick and fast to act upon. The real-time and historical data access from Query.ai helps me in my work by allowing me to go through queries quicker, so even if there are errors anywhere, detection happens pretty fast. Because it is on automation and the investigation is done really quickly, it saves a lot of my time. Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work. The reduction in workload due to Query.ai has made things easier, especially every time we need to investigate why an SQL query is not loading or if it is duplicating. It is especially effective during access management to either provision or de-provision access for users.

Behavioral AI has protected critical applications and now blocks complex external attacks
I think Salt Security could improve their implementations. The one that I saw was very complex and took quite a bit of time, and if the environment is unique at all, it takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to properly ensure that it will be implemented. A lot of times there is a steep learning curve for someone that hasn't been in it to figure out the APIs and really dig deep into it, but once you get used to it, it is easy. However, that ramp-up period could be tough. I think Salt Security could use a more enterprise focus. Some of the smaller companies that I have referred them to think it is a little bit too complex for them, so if they could come up with a different version or something a little bit easier to simplify their platform, they may be able to find more customers that way.

"Query.ai has positively impacted my organization by being very appreciative for what it has done and how there is lesser work task on ourselves, and we could be focusing on more things because as DevOps, we have a lot of work."
"Query.ai helps reduce costs and improve security in my organization, though I do not have the actual numbers, but the impact was significant."
"Time saving and accuracy are the main benefits; in my data mart and data lakes project, Query.ai has been very useful, with all transformations automated, which had a huge impact on our entire project."
"Salt Security has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by being able to stop cyberattacks and ensure that they have proper security over all their applications, giving them a sense of peace of mind that they have security over something that could ultimately take down the whole company if not mitigated properly."
"Salt Security gave me much better visibility into API risk, helping me identify exposed endpoints, misconfigured APIs, and sensitive data flowing through APIs that required additional controls, and it has become an important part of my API security program."
"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."

"Query.ai performs well, but there are other software options that do auditing a little better."
"Probably Query.ai could be a little more optimized, but it is good."
"I felt the pricing is somewhat higher."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
