"Orca Security Ahead of the Rest!"

5/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

The most important consideration for us to use Orca Security was their "Side-scanning Technology". No agents on endpoints, no sensors to manage, and no added containers that only add to our cloud spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orca Security?

At this time I really don't have anything I dislike, but the software provides a TON of information, so if I had to pick something I would say it's a bit of information overload, but I think that will be less of an issue as we use it more and remediate more issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orca Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Orca Security is providing several use case solutions. First, it's solving several compliance requirements from endpoint security, IDS functionality, File Integrity Monitoring and internal vulnerablity scanning. It also integrates with Jira, Slack, our CI/CD pipeline (via Github Actions) and other areas. The new API security dashboard is an awesome new enhancement. Total security package.

"Good Features and NO Prerequisites required such as enabling AWS Cloudtrail, Azure Activity log, etc"

4/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

1] The best thing which i liked about Orca Security is that it provides Meta Data scanning which helps to find all the Misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, code misconfiguration, etc.

2] Also very important thing is that, when onboarding/integrating the Cloud Accounts such as AWS, Azure, etc, into Orca security, There are NO Prerequisites such as enabling Azure Activity logs, AWS Cloudtrail, etc. This creates a sense of security as any organizations doesn't like to share their logs to third party vendors.

3] If compared with another competitors such as Lacework, In my personal opinion, The Orca Security is very easy to use and I can understand where to navigate, find any Dashboards, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orca Security?

1] The very first is the Cost. It is very costly with NO Discounts even for the Partners.

2] Overall, I don't find any Demerits though, just maybe cost perspective only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orca Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

1] We are the consultant and service provider where we do the Cloud Security Assessment. For the Customer with high budget and if they want full cloud assessment, we Propose the Orca Security Tool or other Tools which works the best.

2] But some customers don't want their Cloud Logs such as AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs to be shared to Third Party, so here Orca Security works the best because Orca Security doesn't need any Cloud Logs and hence Orca Security Tool is Proposed to Customer.

"An incredible visibility and compliance tool for the cloud"

5/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

Plug and play, in minutes you connect to your cloud accounts and are ready to use. Very easy to implement.

Sonar allows you to search any cloud object to find out inventory details, alerts, etc.

It has several frameworks, including Brazil LGPD.

The ORCA support teams is great, they reply very soon to resolve any issue.

There're some integrations with 3rd party tools.

The side-scanning technology is great, you gain a entire visibility of your environment, without agent installation needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Orca Security has led us to a greatly improved cloud security posture within days of use."

5/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

The interface is very intuitive and there was not a learning curve at all. Being able to create reports on pretty much any dashboard has been very helpful. Vulnerabilities and misconfigurations found by Orca give us more than enough information to be handed to our development team for remediation without having to do any additional research. Overall, this is a very well thought out platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orca Security?

I honestly have not found anything I dislike yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orca Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was a very painful process to search for misconfigurations with IAM and networking in our environment. Orca has given us a way to have all of the data we need without having to spend hours searching and it most cases gives the instructions needed to remediate. It has also helped us add more shift left into our development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic, powerful tool for cloud security"

5/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

Orca provides top-tier dashboards and easy dashboard customization which quickly surfaces critical risks.

Orca support replies rapidly and consistently works to resolve issues.

Orca installation in 2/3 of our main cloud environments was a smooth process, and the last environment took just an extra hour of work. Overall, a very smooth onboarding process, and great training resources were provided.

Orca provides incredibly rich, useful data about the risks it detects, with very low/none false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orca Security?

The compliance modules currently load extremely slowly, lack CIS critical controls v8.1, and waiting for the promised module rewrite next year sucks.

Orca knowledgebase documentation is tied to your Orca login. To faciliate non-technical staff (or folks who don't need console access) working with the tool, it would be great if they were decoupled.

Exporting risk data to CSV from Orca often requires selecting which of 119-250+ columns I want, at least once, unless you like getting a 1 GB CSV file (wow!)

Exporting to CSV frequently hangs (probably due to the default enormous CSV size), requiring the usage of scheduled reports, which is less convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orca Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Orca is an incredibly powerful tool. We're using it to detect vulnerabilities in virtual machines, misconfigured serverless functions, excessive IAM policies, unhardened virtual machines, VMs missing critical protective software, VMs under attack, and so much more, and that's just the tip of what Orca can do.

"A powerfule security tool for all cloud environments"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

Orca enabled us to have full visibility into our cloud environment. It is a powerful tool that provides the necessary details to properly secure your infrastructure. It gives you consistent up-to-date information. It is an incredibly easy to use platform. We were able to implement and start getting results within 24 hours. Orca is also extremely scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orca Security?

Orca provides a lot of information and can result in alert fatigue. There are some areas with vulnerability management that they can do better on. For instance, having the ability to not alert on vulnerabilities that are superseded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Had exceptional experience"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Orca Security?

Agentless Approach and Deep Visibility. It doesn't require the installation of any agents or additional software, that’s why we need just minutes to onboard new accounts to Orca. After onboarding, Orca provides really comprehensive asset discovery, vulnerability scanning, and risk assessment. Also, I am impressed by Orca Security's continuous product development and its dedication to introducing new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orca Security?

Usually, Orca performs scans every 24 hours, that's why alerts are not real-time. Also, it would be great if Orca expand its integration capabilities especially with Cloudflare Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Orca Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Orca Security provides contextualized alerts and actionable insights to security teams. By correlating security incidents with context, it helps prioritize and address security issues effectively. Additionally, its agentless approach reduces the complexity of deployment and ongoing management, making it easier for us to integrate Orca Security into our existing security operations.
