"Fast, High-Fidelity Cloud Risk Visibility with Upwind"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Upwind?

Upwind gives us fast, high‑fidelity visibility into cloud risk with minimal implementation friction. It correlates posture, workload, and identity data into a prioritized view so my team can focus on issues that are actually exploitable instead of wading through generic CSPM noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwind?

Some features still feel early‑stage: reporting and exec‑friendly dashboards are limited, and a few detections/integrations require vendor help to tune. The core signal is strong, but I’d like more polish and self‑service customization around views and workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annie O'Laughlin of Upwind

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad Upwind is helping your team connect posture, workload, and identity signals, cut through alert noise, and move faster on meaningful risks.

We also appreciate your candid notes about reporting, executive dashboards, and the need for more self-service tuning across detections, integrations, and workflows. That feedback is valuable as we continue improving the platform.

"Outstanding Visibility, But Overwhelming Volume of Findings"

5/5

What do you like best about Upwind?

Upwind has given us excellent visibility and has greatly enhanced our risk posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwind?

The level of visibility we have leads to a large number of vulnerability findings, which can quickly become overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwind solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using upwind, we lacked any insight into our container run times, so adopting it brought significant value to our operations. Additionally, we now benefit from greater visibility throughout our environment, along with comprehensive data that aids in both identifying and addressing issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annie O'Laughlin of Upwind

Thanks for choosing Upwind and for highlighting both the benefits and the challenge. We’re pleased the platform has brought comprehensive visibility to your environment and enhanced your operations.
