Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) Software Resources

If you’re exploring multi-cloud threat monitoring platforms, the Cloud Detection and Response category on G2 points to several tools that help security teams gain visibility across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. From reviews and product analysis, these four stand out:

1. Wiz—It provides context-driven risk mapping across multiple cloud environments. Does its visibility really reduce blind spots when managing multi-cloud threats?
2. Arctic Wolf – It takes a managed approach, combining detection technology with 24/7 analyst support. Did this managed model scale well across multiple cloud providers without overlap or gaps?
3. Orca Security – It uses an agentless model to deliver deep monitoring across workloads and accounts. Did that ease of deployment make multi-cloud monitoring simpler, or did it still introduce complexity at scale?
4. Microsoft Defender for Cloud – It integrates tightly with Azure while extending coverage to other providers. Did its native design make monitoring seamless across multi-cloud, or did you find limitations outside of Azure?

I’d love to hear from the G2 community:

1. Which of these platforms helped you detect multi-cloud threats most effectively
2. Did it deliver clear ROI in terms of reduced risk or faster response times?

If you’re looking for the best tools to monitor cloud workloads, the Cloud Detection and Response category on G2 highlights several platforms designed to give better visibility and control. These four stand out for how they track workloads and surface issues in real time:

1. Wiz – It maps workloads across cloud environments and prioritizes risks by context. Did its visibility give you the right balance between detail and clarity when monitoring day-to-day operations?
2. Arctic Wolf – It offers a managed detection and response approach, with human oversight layered onto automated monitoring. Did this help your team focus on critical workload alerts without getting swamped by noise?
3. Orca Security – It uses an agentless model to monitor workloads across accounts, providing depth without extra installation. Did this ease of deployment make workload monitoring faster to roll out?
4. Microsoft Defender for Cloud – It integrates directly with Azure while also supporting multi-cloud visibility, giving a single dashboard for workloads. Did its native integrations make monitoring more streamlined or limit flexibility?

If you've worked with any CDR tool or rated it on G2, I wish to ask:

1. Which platform gave you the clearest visibility into cloud workloads?
2. How smooth was the setup and scaling process for your teams?
