The dynamic dashboard creation and existing templates help end-users get up and running quickly.The prometheus integration is also really useful but still in the early days for some of our intended uses. **What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?** A swagger API should be more accessible and the separation of "host" and "container" resources needs to be blended in a simpler way. Other vendors are combing log and metric management, which while difficult, can be useful for application teams. Additional integrations with infrastructure components would be helpful, and more thorough documentation on how configure prometheus monitoring would be an asset to users. **Recommendations to others considering Sysdig Secure:** Spend time with your account team to describe the key items that you want to monitor and have them walk you through the best approach, including sharing of dashboards, etc with other teams. They often have great recommendations that can save some time. **What problems is Sysdig Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?** Multi-cluster operational alerting with the ability to provide teams access to see their own scoped applications. All within the same solution. We also provide runtime protection and vulnerability scanning within the solution. ### 12. Great features, awesome company **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?** The combination of container insight, container security policies, and container scanning with more and more robust reporting to compliance standards. **What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?** The complexity of the underlying application is very large, requiring a lot of components. There's a SaaS option which alleviates that, but it doesn't fall under many compliance scopes yet. **What problems is Sysdig Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our problems are a few-fold, but primarily revolve around container security policy and scanning, especially compliance-based scans. The compliance-based scan results are an active work item with the very-responsive company and have come a long way in a short amount of time. Otherwise we love the visibility we get into our container infrastructure. ## Sysdig Secure Discussions - [Types of data collected](https://www.g2.com/discussions/types-of-data-collected) - 1 comment, 1 upvote -
