What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is very easy to scale Sysdig Secure. Around ten users are using the solution in our organization.
I rate Sysdig Secure a nine out of ten for scalability.

How was the initial setup?
The solution's deployment is very easy and can be done in ten minutes.

Sysdig Secure has two agents: one for network monitoring and the other for security sites. You can install one agent if you would like to see network monitoring. You can deploy two agents if you would like to see network asset management and the security site.
What other advice do I have?
I compared Sysdig Secure with other solutions like Aqua by opening a demo trial account and examining its features and benefits for one month.
Overall, I rate Sysdig Secure a nine out of ten.

Improved our resolution time, has a nice log monitor, and the pricing is okay

We are a cloud provider, and we use the solution to collate some issues in our environment.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution has improved the resolution time. We can detect any issue in the syslogs more quickly.
What is most valuable?
The log monitor is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
I tested the solution, however, I haven't put my hands on it too much and haven't seen any issues so far.
The dashboard could be more simple and show the more important issues that are detected first. We'd like to be able to set it up so more important issues show up more prominently in the dashboard.

I have been using this solution for six to twelve months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good.

How are customer service and support?
Our technicians do not often ask for support, however, the support is okay. The questions they asked were handled responsively.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used an open source solution. This is the first solution we have used for this kind of work. We are using syslog-ng with Sysdig, and I am comparing them both.
How was the initial setup?
The solution was easy to deploy and easy to use. The technicians found that it was not too difficult to use.
The initial setup was not complex. It's easy.
What about the implementation team?
I handled the deployment on my own.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is okay. I need the cheapest price. However, the pricing I've seen is okay.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate any other options. I plan on testing more options next year.
What other advice do I have?
It hasn't necessarily freed up time for me. I haven't noted any time to value yet.
It's a good solution and better than the open source option I tested. I need more time to test and clarify the solution. While it is okay, I expect more from it. I'd like to have something that is out of the box.
I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.

An excellent solution for those planning to use it from a container standpoint
Pros and Cons
- "From a container-based standpoint, it offers excellent scalability to its users...I would tell those planning to use the solution that, from a container standpoint, it's excellent."
- "The solution needs to improve overall from a CSPM standpoint since they can't compete with Wiz or Orca."
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used for runtime security of containers, cloud security, CSPM, and CWPP.
What is most valuable?
The solution's runtime security and Falco are the two features I found to be the most valuable ones. So, Falco is their open-source tool for rules and policies.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs to improve overall from a CSPM standpoint since they can't compete with Wiz or Orca.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have an experience two years of with Sysdig Secure. Our company is a partner and reseller of Sysdig.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's a very stable product. We should decide whether we are talking about containers or the cloud. So, if we're talking about it from a container standpoint, it is a stable product. If we're talking about it from a cloud standpoint, then essentially not a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
From a container-based standpoint, it offers excellent scalability to its users, while from a cloud-based and security standpoint, it is not too great.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support offered by the vendor is good. The technical support is very knowledgeable. I rate the technical support team an eight or nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I rate the solution's initial setup a six out of ten. So, one needs to have good and dedicated personnel or a team to ensure it is up and running.
Only one person is required if the deployment is being carried out for a small team. However, a handful of people would be required if the deployment is being carried out for an extensive team.
The deployment process typically involves various roles, including security engineers and cloud architects. These professionals may need to have visibility into the underlying STL stack to ensure a secure and efficient deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution's pricing depends on the agents. So, on average, it's around 80K. In short, the price depends on the environment of its user.
What other advice do I have?
I would tell those planning to use the solution that, from a container standpoint, it's excellent. If you're looking at it for other things, other vendors might be able to offer you better tools. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
