I like Halo Security's simple user interface. It makes it easy for me to use without any hassle. The integrations with cloud resources are good, providing seamless connectivity with the systems we use. The discovery section is very helpful in identifying any public or newly spun-up resources in our cloud, which assists in shadow IT discovery. I find it particularly useful for detecting accidental exposure of data, like when someone opens a port or shares an S3 file. The alerts that can be integrated with Slack are handy in keeping me informed of such incidents. The setup process was really simple, and the person who helped was very knowledgeable and friendly too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything like that as of now. Because it is relatively easy to use and, the user interface is simple. Maybe they can have some, like, advanced features like the new age companies use, like scoring system, filtering, and all those advanced stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really find the ease of use of the GUI to be a standout feature of Halo Security. It's intuitive and works great even for a new user like me. I'm also really happy with the overall usage and visibility it provides into the network. Meeting monthly with one of the CSMs has been really helpful too, as without Halo Security, this kind of visibility wouldn't have been possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just maybe, the way the scanner rescans things that have already been classified as acceptable risk. Sometimes you just have to go in there and manually remove it. This is a small glitch, and sometimes you have to deal with it manually, which is not a big issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a bit of a learning curve when getting started with Halo Security. More integrations with third-party tools would be a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Devonte and Jessica are awesome support. They are one of the few I don't mind talking to when it comes to vendors. They are very knowledge. Halo is also and easy tool to use for the most part Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The frequent changes to the console make it hard to navigate. Also filters don't stick so I have to reset them when reviewing multiple targets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Halo Security is its user-friendly platform that delivers lightning-fast visibility into our entire external attack surface—it's like having an attacker's playbook in reverse, spotting risks across clouds and third-parties in seconds without the hassle of manual scans. The straightforward remediation guidance and real-time alerts have saved our team countless hours, making it easier to prioritize and fix issues before they escalate. Plus, the integration with tools like Jira and Slack keeps everything seamless for our workflow. Overall, it's empowered us to stay proactive in a chaotic threat landscape.

While Halo Security is a powerhouse for attack surface management, one area that could use some polishing is the depth of customization options for alert thresholds and reporting templates. Right now, the default setups work great for most teams, but for more nuanced environments—like ours with hybrid cloud setups—fine-tuning sensitivity levels or exporting reports in non-standard formats requires a few extra workarounds via API tweaks. It's not a deal-breaker (and their support jumps on it quickly when we flag it), but expanding those built-in options would make it even more of a set-it-and-forget-it tool. That said, it's still leagues ahead of legacy scanners in speed and accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to add overall, but the dashboard can be slow to load at times. Also, the UI could be made more straightforward when generating PCI reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
