Orca - Scan from the side, 0 user impact
We switched to a custom Linux Kernel that agent based VMS could not support. Orca was the only solution that we found that could solve our use case.
PROSOrca is an agentless approach to VMS. This means there is 0 user impact or performance degradation. Your Operations team does not have to manage agent roll out, it also does not need to manage upgrades/downtime. This saves you operating costs and allows your Ops team to focus on other security items. Orca is OS agnostic, it does not matter what your development/architecture team decides to pivot to. Orca supports Windows/Linux/Mac/Containerization. It also is Cloud agnostic, have subs in Azure or AWS? Orca can handle them all with a few clicks. The entire roll out took around 10 minutes.
CONSThere are features missing in Orca from a nice to have stand point. The product is fairly new and a lot of these enhancements are being worked on. The Orca team has been very responsive to enhancements thus far.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
DivvyCloud is agent based and did not support our Linux distro.
Reasons for switching to Orca Security
Rapid7 could not be installed on our Linux Kernel.

Know your entire cloud sprawl in minutes
Product Integration - It's as easy as they sell it. I had it up and running in multiple accounts in no time. Support - Wonderful support and leadership team that cares about their customers. Open API - Rich and open API that allows you to extend and build on top of the product.
PROSThe extensibility of the product, and how rich the API is. I can find out almost anything about my environment. Using Orca gives me insight into my entire cloud sprawl. I can get information about malware, open-ingress to EC2 instances, and open source vuln management. The only limit to its use is imagination.
CONSCreating new alerts can be clunky. However, the Orca team is always improving and is currently working on a V2. Navigating the UI can be a bit of a challenge at times when looking for specific info. This is why I often opt for using the API over the UI.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
I ended up choosing Dome9 because it's feature-rich, but bells-and-whistles light. It provides to me the most salient alerts and alarms, while not making too much noise. A lot of competitors' products are very opinionated, which can force a security organization to shape their processes around the tool. With Orca it's the opposite, the tool is powerful, lightweight and malleable.

Orca security general overview
I have enjoyed the Orca security in the sense that it gives in-depth details of vulnerability, attack path, security posture among many others
PROSIt is a reach platform which provides us with comprehensive security tooling features.
CONSThe only part I have reservations about is the shift-left aspect whereby there is no known IDE extension for the CLI
Reason for choosing Orca Security
It provides a lot of features that many other products don't have coverage for.
Reasons for switching to Orca Security
It's more expensive

Orca Security Review
The first step to increase the security posture of an environment is to understand it. Orca Security instantly gave me that visibility without the hurdles of an agent.
PROSThe ability to get quick visibility into the cloud assets without going through the technical hurdles of deploying an agent.
CONSI think the UI could use a bit more improvement. I've been using this software for 6 months and not everything is intuitive. I still forget where things are exactly.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
Orca Security has a unique technology that is agentless. The ability to get that type of visibility was a key differentiator.
Reasons for switching to Orca Security
Not having to deal with agents on a machine was critical due to the various technical hurdles to install it on every cloud resource.

Agent less solution is the future in security vulnerability and container security monitoring.
We were trying to solve container security challenges. Actively monitoring what is going on within container. Benefit of agent less solution is two fold, 1) Do not have to install agents on the host machine. 2) Effective in monitoring workloads running in managed containers. Orca security, ability of side-scanning technology examines block storage out of band via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.
PROSAgent less no installation required. Simple 3 step process to connect account and start monitoring. Extensive deep insight into installed packages within container. Clear categorization of alerts as Imminent compromises, Hazardous, Informational with color coding for clear visibility. Also builds digital asset inventory for tracking different types cloud based assets ex: S3 buckets, EC2 instances. Easy to connect multiple accounts across AWS, Azure, GCP. Under Vulnerability management some of the key features to highlight are Asset Discovery, Asset Tagging, Network Scanning, Patch Management,Vulnerability Assessment,Web Scanning, Risk Management and Policy Management. Couple of the key cloud security features to highlight are Endpoint Management,Threat Intelligence,Vulnerability Management, Intrusion Detection System, Behavioral Analytics, Encryption and Application Security. Ease of integration was one of the reason to consider Orca security solution.
CONSReporting and user interface are immature, but improving, not real time. This is near real time solution depends on frequency of scanning. VM specific details if consolidated as actionable insights will be very helpful to narrow our focus to relevant issues (ex: identified affected packages within a container is great, giving link to specific patches will be very helpful.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
Agent less deployment with similar functionality.

Super Easy to Setup and Start Managing Your AWS Risks
Not having to deal with agents combined with direct integration with our ticking system has saved us countless hours of precious engineering time. Because of this, we have gained tremendous value from the product since we can effectively manage AWS risks while focusing on creating more features and values for our customers.
PROSSince Orca Security does not require any agents to install, setup took less than five minutes. We are also use multiple AWS accounts and since setup was simple, within less than thirty minutes, we had a single pane view of most of our AWS risks. In addition, since Orca Security integrates with Atlasssian Jira, with only one click, we could quick open remediation tickets for high risk vulnerabilities.
CONSAlthough Orca Security offers a ton of AWS coverage, I'd like to see more work with AWS RDS and AWS networking services such as VPC and Security Groups.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
Partly because of the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] experience and track record but mainly because of the fact that we don't have to deal with installing and managing agents.

Wide, Accurate Coverage with No Effort
The best I've had with any vendor.
PROSThe agent-less service deployed immediately, with no effort, and replaced three different products. The false positive rate is low. The information presented is easily and immediately actionable. The product has allowed me to reduce effort by 90% of an FTE.
CONSI would like to feed the raw data to our data warehouse, which is not yet possible, though it is coming.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
It's clearly better than Nessus, Lacework and Threat Stack. It is equivalent to Prisma Enterprise, but much easier to deploy, manage, use, and investigate.

Easy Quick Win
Awesome. Coming from nothing deployed to now seeing everything in AWS is awesome and scary at the same time. But it quickly helped us become more aware and more secure in deploying our AWS Infrastructure.
PROSThe on-boarding team was great, Scott and Joshua were and are still very helpful, Also the easy of use is critical to get action items out of the Alerts.
CONSSupport needs to be more engaged and ensure timeline (SLA's) are meet or at least presented.
Reason for choosing Orca Security
Quick and easy of deployment. Others required asset deployment to the Infrastructure. Which adds to the complexity.

Orca Security : intensive scrutiny of your cloud deployments
We feel that we've been able to significantly improve our organization's awareness across the board to security issues.
PROSI appreciate how Orca Security does side-scanning, unobtrusively collecting information about our cloud deployments, and then submitting those records through intensive scrutiny. The scan results are compared against CVEs to establish prioritized lists for mitigation efforts
CONSIntegration of Orca Security with Microsoft Teams to provide realtime alerts when issues are detected is in it's infancy at present, and we had some troubles getting it going.

Great tool, can be used for inventory, alarms on recent vulnerabilities, applying best practices, etc. It really makes some of the hard challenges in cloud security trivial.
