“Centralized Security Insights with FortiCNAPP Offer Traceability but Slow Alerting”

4.0
Nov 4, 2025
My experiecne with Lacework, now called FortiCNAPP, has been positive. The integration with aws is pretty straightforward, and it provides a lot of useful information, though some overlaps with cloudtrail,guardduty, security hub, config. The main advantage is having evertthin centralized, plus the agen compatibility for deeper security issue

CRITICAL

“Inefficiencies in Lacework Emerge with Expectations Falling Short”

2.0
May 7, 2025
Here are some points why not five stars. Lacework has several features on paper, but some do not reflect real processes at the customer, such as Code Security. No SCIM, which one would actually expect from a security tool. Requested features are developed slowly. No coverage in China. Documentation is incomplete. No SOAR, which must be purchased separately after acquisition. No DSPM.

FortiCNAPP Likes & Dislikes

Like

what I like most about the product is the traceability it provides when detecting an incident or potential security issue. from the moment a packet enter the system all the way to its endpoint. The flow diagramas and visual insight make it easy to understand and investigate issues quickly Another great thing is the support: at the beginning, the agent was consuming a lot of resources, which significantly increased cost. After discussing it with support, they quicly released a new lite version that completely solved the problem

Like

The collection of potential capabilities and the division of the UI into Risks and Threats. The ability to use the REST for some of the features for automation.

Like

Ability to query (through UI, API and CLI) on almost any data held, the breadth and depth of the data collected, ability to really prioritise based on biggest risk, composite alerts and their ability to tie together lots of different data sets to draw conclusions

Dislike

what I dislike most is the lack of proper user segregation between organization accounts and tenants. Also, detection and alerting take quite a while, sometimes up to three hours to flag anomalies or potential incidents. additionally , the alert rules offer limited customization and react to slowly once.

Dislike

No SCIM. No SOAR. No Coverage in China. Documentation could be improved. Requested features are developed slowly, it takes more than 1 year.

Dislike

The UI has never been wonderful. Not something that has held me back because the real value is in the data and there are multiple ways to get at it, but a revamp of the UI is important I feel

    5-star service in all aspects, including product offerings, onboarding, after-sales support, and training. Regular tech / ask questions sessions are very helpful, but only available in NA time zone, so we hope they start / resume these in EU time zone for EU customers.
