# What are the best tools for monitoring workloads in the cloud?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If you’re looking for the <strong>best tools to monitor cloud workloads</strong>, the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-detection-and-response-cdr">Cloud Detection and Response category on G2</a> 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:</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/wiz-wiz/reviews"><strong>Wiz</strong></a> – 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?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/arctic-wolf/reviews"><strong>Arctic Wolf</strong> </a>– 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?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/orca-security/reviews"><strong>Orca Security</strong></a> – 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?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-defender-for-cloud/reviews/"><strong>Microsoft Defender for Cloud</strong></a> – 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?</li>

<li><strong>Which platform gave you the clearest visibility into cloud workloads? </strong></li>
<li><strong>How smooth was the setup and scaling process for your teams?</strong></li>
</ol>

&lt;p&gt;With Orca Security, I liked the idea of agentless monitoring, did it actually scale well for enterprise workloads, or did gaps appear once environments got more complex?&lt;/p&gt;
