"Absolutely the best in container runtime security"

5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

Easy to start with just a few clicks of buttons. Of course, you can build your own solutions

by bootsraping several open source projects like open policy agent and Falco,

but if you want your business to move forward just use a complete

solutions by Sysdig and forget about Operation stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

The only downside that I found is the documentation.

I wish it could be updated faster, like the recent changes

they make from Scanning Engine to Vulnerability Manager.

another thing is when they are moving to the new Vulnerability Engine

, Admission controller doesn't work just yet, It would be great

if they can make the transition without introducing such a blocker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sysdig is the best tool for Kubernetes image scanning and patch management."

5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

Sysdig provides a powerful engine to scan images on the fly, generating alerts and valuable insights in which assets may be vulnerable. Also, it gives you the correct version to patch, making it easy to correct such issues. It is easy to deploy and operate and the customer service is top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

I wish Sysdig's cloud-native solutions would work better in conjunction with AWS. The Cloudtrail connector does not deliver as much value as the image scanning tools. I wish Sysdig's cloud connector could gather more information about vulnerabilities in a given account and gives us pathways towards a more safe cloud environment natively without having to deploy additional resources.

"Customizable Security That Keeps Getting Better"

5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

We started our journey with Sysdig because of the flexibility of the underlying Falco rules engine. What has kept us with Sysdig is that flexibility along with continued feature additions that continually add greater value. We started with Container Security and now have CSPM, deep vulnerability information and the beginnings of infrastructure-as-code policy enforcement and drift control. In addition, their customer service is stellar. They keep us up-to-date as a customer with their roadmap and take our feedback seriously leading to great product rollouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

As with all alerting systems it can be difficult to get signal from the noise. The continued feature additions, especially rule exceptions and the automated tuner have greatly reduced the cycle time required to bring down the noise. I appreciate the focus by the Sysdig team in this area. Like all tools, it's an ongoing process to keep alerting trimmed to what's important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sysdig Secure:

Advice for those looking at Sysdig Secure is to consider how well you understand the rules and policies you're implementing and how easy those will be to manage in the future. That is an inherent part of Sysdig Secure and what makes the platform usable and customizable. Other platforms we researched made this much less straightforward and customization was lacking. Definitely take a look at the Falco opensource engine and even take it for a test drive to see if you like the way it works. Sysdig Secure is a step up from Falco in features and functionality but the roots are the same which is what makes it great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sysdig Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sysdig Secure gives us amazing visibility and security awareness for our container workloads. We are able to understand not only how are containers are behaving but what seems to be out of the ordinary and how to take action to get more information or kill the workload. We save massive amounts of time researching whether our workloads are impacted by recently released critical CVE's b/c we can quickly run reports that tell us the impacted workloads and help us prioritize getting them patched. Sysdig is also constantly updating the rules library allowing us to take advantage of their threat research rather than having to create our own rules to address threats.

"Great product that meets our needs and excellent customer service"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

The onboarding experience was great with step-by-step instructions on how to configure and make use of various functionalities of the product. We were able to quickly get value out of the product by using existing pre-defined rules. Additionally, we have regular catchup with our account manager for feedback, queries, and review to see if we're making the best use of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

There are some quality-of-life features and improvements that we'd like within the product to make our life easier, such as JIRA integration and dismissing alerts within the dashboard. These have been fed back through so they are in the roadmap and we're kept in the loop of the progress of these features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sysdig Secure solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us find anomalous activities and misconfigurations to reduce security risk within our platform, prioritise vulnerabilities that need to be fixed which are being run in production, and create reports for compliance reasons. The alerting functionality is useful for us to be informed and respond to various activities immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Provides meaningful security insight into our container orchestration platforms!"

5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

Sysdig's new runtime vulnerability scanner is super cool! It not only shows the typical vulnerability information, categorizing CVEs into Critical,High, etc, but it also shows you which one of those vulnerabilities is loaded into memory at runtime and exploitable! This helps us prioritize which containers to patch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

As with most rule/alert based security tools the tooling can generate a lot of noise if someone isn't tuning the rules engine. The UI does provide an easy way to add entries to the runtime tuning engine, as well as add custom rules/exceptions to filter down the noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sysdig for your container security and monitoring needs"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

Sysdig Forensics is one of the coolest features I have seen in a security tool. It gives us a full audit trail of a security event, such as when there is unauthorized access to a container, and gives us details on what was changed in files and who did it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

The written documentation for Sysdig with regards to Secure could include more use cases and examples on setting up alerts. The console also needs the feature to be able to download reports after drilling into a dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sysdig Secure most important tool for k8s and Cloud security"

5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

Sysdig provides visibility and alerting into what happens in the k8s clusters, scans containers and provides information and alerts from the cloud account level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

Like every tool with alerting functionality, it requires some work when it comes to tunning and limiting false-positive alerts. The number of out of the box alerts is amazing but still some tunning is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sysdig: a great container scan"

5/5

What do you like best about Sysdig Secure?

With the ease of integration with pipelines and functioning in clusters, we can fix vulnerabilities in images before its deploy and after deployment. Support is fully available when we need it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sysdig Secure?

We work by fixing the vulnerabilities of the images, so sometimes the vulnerable library is a dependency of a dependency and it is not always so easy to identify how to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
