Orca Security Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Context-driven security was considered the future of Cloud Security, and Orca led the charge. The level of depth provided around resources and assets in your cloud is one of the best out there.

We love the ability to clone and customize "baked-in" alerts to meet our environmental needs, specifically around asset tagging/labeling. Their Code Security capabilities are starting to rival those of Synk and others in the space. The potential there is promising, and the product teams are constantly keeping us in the loop.

The Custmoziable Alerts dashboard, which meets my leadership needs, is easy to use. My team can also create and share customized views without much effort.

Searching and "Discovery" have greatly improved in the latest iteration of the product, and the speed at which we find assets and configurations has improved.

Orca provides very in-depth "attack path" visualizations that are easy to follow, clearly visualize risks, and tell an attack story. Although this would be considered intimidating to view, their visual representation is strong.

Side-scanning continues to provide tremendous value to us. It still amazes me how quickly they scan our entire environment and report back changes, threats, risks associated with "data" or storage.

There is a lot more to mention, but lastly, our customer support and sales team has been top-notch. One of the best we have worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting on containerization vulnerabilities has improved, but it needs to be better. (Orca has been investing a lot in this space and the future is promising).

Infrastructure as Code custom policy creation is effective but challenging and needs to be more closely linked to the UI. (There might be technical challenges here but overall, we need more visualizations in the UI around this)

Identity-based reporting around "inactive" non-human accounts is an area that needs more attention. (GCP Support is a little behind.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orca provides greate visibility to our cloud environment, it helps us prioritise alerts and checks our environment with the latest vulnerabilities.

I really like the attack path feature it helps us closing gaps in our environments, also it provides as with a lot of the needed information about the resource or the alert that was triggered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orca's searching capabilities could be better, sometimes it takes me more time than needed to be able to use their search engine.

Also I think the UI can be improved a little bit, with some alerts it can be overwhelming with the amount of details presented in the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge in cloud security is the known unknowns. And Orca solves that problem by discovering a wide variety of assets and modeling their interrelationships. This helps organisations solve for the root cause of problems and saves huge amount of time spent merging excel sheets. The platform's capability to search for datasets and relations using queries is immensely powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adoption of the platform is difficult for big organisations habitated their own toolsets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Orca Alerts Dashboard is very useful in the sense that it contains a ton of features, ease of integration and use as far as creating new customized dashboards.

Orca has already pre-selected the best practice alerts for your company to focus on, by pulling them in from all of the most pertienent compliance frameworks enabling you meet understand and meet your compliance needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I will say that my organization has been involved with assisting in beta groups to test and validate data and feature functionality. Orca has many new releases planned for 2025 and I'm hoping the new Compliance service will be released ASAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A straightforward setup enabled risk-based asset and alert capabilities, facilitating prioritization within an hour. Immediate identification of public exposure and misconfigured identity resources alerted threat detection and engineering teams to imminent compromise risks, which were remediated within three days. Context and asset enrichment, coupled with recommended actions, guided the creation of an action plan focused on business capability risk and technical feasibility.

Technical and process implementation support from account team was exceptional and guided rapid adoption and integration to security program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the third-party integration partnership ecosystem is expanding, its adoption was initially constrained. The capabilities available in Azure have been rapidly enhanced, yet there appears to be a preference for releasing updates and features in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orca Security has truly been a game-changer for our organization's cloud security. The platform consistently exceeds our expectations, thanks to its continuous development and improvement. Orca's ability to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities and threats has significantly strengthened our security posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Orca is incredibly powerful, there is a bit of a learning curve to fully utilize all of its features. The interface can be overwhelming at first, and it takes some time to master the platform's full capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform offers clear visibility into vulnerabilities and compliance risks, helping us prioritize and resolve issues effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard can sometimes feel cluttered with information, making it a bit overwhelming for newer users to navigate efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Orca's access into all of the machines within the cloud environment without having to log into each individual machine is one of the most powerful features. The integration with Jira allows us to generate tickets for others without needing to grant console access, and the automatic closure of tickets based on subsequent scans reduces the workload on the security and execution teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orca has generally been very fast to implement new features, however some of the reporting functionality can be challenging until you've learned the query language syntax. This has been improving and is no longer a product downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orca allows us to very quickly diagnose critical vulnerabilities, keep up to date with CVEs, track and patch our environments, and generate reports about progress. It has helped us maintain SOC compliance, and is very user friendly. It was very quick to set up with our AWS environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when a false positive is dismissed or marked resolved it comes back the next day as a new item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is its agentless architecture; there's no need to install agents on each workload, which significantly reduces friction and speeds up deployment across our cloud estate.

Orca's compliance reporting and automated inventory give us excellent insights across our assets, which is invaluable for audit preparation.

The contextual alerting and prioritization features in Orca are also standout advantages. It cuts through the noise by correlating security issues to highlight the most critical risks in the environment, saving time and reducing alert fatigue.

Excellent customer support from our account team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited reporting capabilities, we had to create custom reporting platforms to track alert statistics over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
