“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

1- A complete CSPM 2- Covers all the major Operating systems / cloud providers 3-Compliance and Audit reporting. 4- Automated Threat Detection and Response.

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

The ML-based anomaly search approach convinced me a lot.

Dislike

A lot has changed since, as the product moved under the Fortinet flagship. One of the impacts of the change is that most of the earlier contacts have either moved or shifted to other projects and that has impacted the customer relationship as there is a reset.

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

Some compliance alerts are raised by lacework regarding default settings in azure hosted service, where the setting always reverts to the default. In this case lacework offers to write exceptions for this issue. Otherwise I don't have any issues with the product.

    5.0
    Jun 11, 2024
    Due to the ease-of-use, clear description of why alerts are raised and the support, I can fully recommend lacework. Since the software learns about our deployment day by day, I feel future proof in security and compliance areas.
