About Company
Company Description
Designed for organizations operating in the cloud who need complete, centralized visibility of their entire cloud estate and want more time and resources dedicated to remediating the actual risks that matter, Orca Security is an agentless cloud Security Platform that provides security teams with 100% coverage their entire cloud environment. Instead of layering multiple siloed tools together or deploying cumbersome agents, Orca combines two revolutionary approaches - SideScanning, that enables frictionless and complete coverage without the need to maintain agents, and the Unified Data Model, that allows centralized contextual analysis of your entire cloud estate. Together, Orca has created the most comprehensive cloud security platform available on the marketplace.

Orca Security Likes & Dislikes
Enthusiastic customer service with a dedicated success engineer and account manager, ensuring we maintain a healthy feedback loop. They also continue to address our needs as we identify gaps between their tool and our use cases. Orca itself is fairly easy to use right out-of-the-box, doesn't require continuous maintenance on our side, or even our interaction to ensure continuous operation.
I do appreciate some of the compliance framework mapping and the Jira integrations.
Easy API integration, it provides what you need at a glance and works well with discovery searches. Easy reporting for scheduled tasks. Able to quickly discover details about containers or instances that may not have certain configurations set on it.
Certain features lag behind the competition. Alternatives in this market may have a feature 3-6 months before Orca. Lack of customization for certain unique use cases. I believe Orca has the data available to it, but getting that information out of it can sometimes be impossible. Documentation and self-support can be a little lacking, requiring interaction with a support engineer to address appropriately.
As mentioned above: 1. We have to manipulate the numbers a lot to get the statistics that we value. 2. Dashboards aren't very helpful 3. Our team has brought up a lot of our concerns with Orca, and very little of them have been resolved.
Documentation is not accurate or updated at times compared to cloud services or UI. Changes that affect reporting are sometimes not communicated to us and may change how the results are presented. Customer success answering support times can be improved - I was waiting far too long to answer a simple question.

Great feedback loop but sometimes lacks adequate documentation or lags on feature deliveries
Primarily purchased the tool to function as a CSPM. The tool delivers on that requirement. Cloud security is a new and emerging market and Orca continues to evolve to meet our needs. They are positively reflective of our feedback, and don't hesitate to follow up for further clarification to guarantee they satisfy our requests. - IT Associate50M-1B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Efficient Cloud Security Auditing with Streamlined Reporting and Quick Instance Insights
Orca has been incredibly useful in our environment because it lets us audit servers and run vulnerability reports without any heavy setup or agents getting in the way. Provides detailed insights into our EC2 instances and helps us quickly track down issues or missing configurations. Being able to pull up information on an instance in seconds has streamlined a lot of our day-to-day work, and overall it's made maintaining our cloud security posture far easier and more efficient. And let’s quickly export the results to present and schedule reports. - IT SECURITY & RISK MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATE1B-10B USDRetailReview Source

Orca Security Platform
Orca has provided us with great value and insight into our security risks that reside in various cloud services such as AWS and GCP. Orca is able to catch things such as vulnerabilities, user/account misconfigurations and potential sensitive data exposure, all without having to roll out an agent due to their SideScanning technology! We've found that Orca is one of the only tools that seems to "just work" without having to constantly make configuration changes or adjust policies. Customer service is also wonderful as their representatives are always very helpful, attentive, and eager to see your success with the product. I'd certainly recommend Orca to any organization looking to improve their security posture. - Manager, IT Security and Risk Management<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
Great Value for your Budget, Spend Time on Solid Implementation
Orca gives us a deep insight into our environments, which we need due to our multi-cloud architecture. While it can be a bit noisy, I'd rather have the data readily available and sort through it than have wide swathes of blind spots.
