**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Networking | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022

**What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?**

Lacework is pretty easy to use once set up; however, some integrations can be complex. The team is easy to work with for the most part. Competitors can generally cover part of the Lacework functionality but would typically need more than one vendor/system to replace all of what Lacework has to offer.

**What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?**

The cost is relatively high compared to comparable products. Some employees do not take feedback well. It would be helpful to have more accurate planning capabilities for the resources needed to ensure pricing was proper for actual needs. Regarding employees, regular check-ins from account managers could help catch issues sooner and prevent difficulties down the road.

**What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vulnerability scanning and compliance management. Benefits have been mediocre and, while functional, didn't always equal the expense. It has filled a performance gap but, again, one that other systems could also fill.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mounika C. | Cloud Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2022

**What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?**

Before using Lacework, our legacy tools weren't able to keep up with the on-demand changes & handling various CSPM involved. Event categorization effectively identifies each event timeline and summary so that we obtain operational visibility while working with these changes. We can also add exceptions in our vulnerabilities dashboard and all items present in the exception list can be exported as CSV based on customer demands.

**What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?**

At the initial stage, we had difficulties in setting up branch protection rules for our GitHub repository. Later we came to understand how we can enforce workflows for performing multiple pull requests which made it easy to regulate branch protection rules. Gradually we are learning its compliance features to coexist with the requests given by our clients.

**What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lacework offers automated anomaly detection with which we get instantly notified about any irregular events in our AWS environment. We establish fine-tuning rules which aid in accurately alerting us whenever there are challenges in business critical events.

  ### 36. Great source of truth for security containers

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bruno N. | Team Lead - SRE/DevOps Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2023

**What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?**

It's simply the best in class container security tool
I'd recommend everyone that is planning to improve their container security to at least give a chance to lacework
it's offer a great dashboard to review the vulnerabilities

**What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?**

it's easy to configure, the only con is that we have to pay for it while there are some free competitors, but of course, they're not complete as a paid tool.

**What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Container and Cloud Security tool

  ### 37. The analytics from Lacework are very hard to track down as the information is very vague.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2022

**What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?**

The dashboard is very well organized, and drilling down to an event is easy.  This includes the current enhancements to the dashboard.  The improvements are visually appealing.

**What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?**

The events we get from Lacework lack context.  We must rely on other solutions and communications with other departments to determine the validity of the alerts and warnings.    At that point, they are usually false positives or non-malicious traffic.  There is little flexibility to approve or white list traffic deemed non-malicious, and alerts will still be triggered.  Our understanding is that this is an architectural constraint.

**What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The solution was purchased to help us determine legitimate vs. non-legitimate traffic on our network.  As this is not working as anticipated it is not truly benefiting us.

**Official Response from Christine Medina:**

> Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and provide your feedback. We’re happy to hear the new enhancements to the UI have been positively received. We are concerned that you’re not receiving the right context for alerts triggered and want to discuss this in more detail with you. Our goal is to reduce false positives, overall alert noise, and provide you and your team with details needed to prioritize remediation. Please reach out to Scott Peikin, our VP of Customer Success, at scott.peikin@lacework.com. We look forward to connecting with you.
