Salt Security API Protection Platform Likes & Dislikes
I like most about Salt Security is its deep, API-Centric approach and the level of visibility it provides. Salt gives us a clear, continuous view of the APIs in our environment. The platform not only flags posture gaps, but it also correlates behavior over time to identify true attack patterns.
Good api discovery and inventory mapping Strong detection of business logic abuse patterns clear attack narratives tied to specific api calls low false positive after initial learning period
A major advantage was the consulting services provided by the manufacturer throughout the implementation project and also in the follow-up after the project's completion. During all the time we had the support of product engineers and the sales team. This support made all the difference to the success of the project. The vendor provided us with information, guidance, tips, best practices and environmental review. Furthermore, they were collaborative and supportive during the few problems we faced with the tool. The product is quite adaptable and flexible.
On the downside, there is a noticeable learning curve, and tuning alerts to reduce noise takes some initial effort and coordination. However, once properly configured, Salt delivers strong value as a core component or our API Security strategy.
Limited inline enforcement options without integrations Reporting exports are inflexible UI performance is slow with large datasets
It took some time for the tool's intelligence to learn and adapt to our environment and applications. Several false-positive alerts were generated before reaching a point of maturity.

Integration of Security and Development Features Enhances Overall Platform Visibility
As a someone new to the Cybersecurity world but with a little bit of software development background, I would say SALT is one of the tools that you can gain as much value as you want, since involve both parts, development and security for the exposed and private endpoints, I like the fact that improves visibility and is always implementing new feature to complement the overall experience. - HEAD OF CYBER DEFENSE CENTER<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
AI-Powered API Security Detects Threats Early.
We deployed Salt Security API protection across our API eco-system in our organization and i should it now plays a key role in our end to end security operations. The platform uses AI to discover shadow and zombie API's , monitor traffic in real time and block attacks from top global threats. Deployment was even straightforward with agent less. - MANAGER, IT SECURITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT10B+ USDInsurance (except health)Review Source
Good tool for API Security
The overall feedback has been very positive, they have an excellent team to support, always respond quickly and maintain regular check-ins. Salt Security dashboard is user-friendly, clearly showing inventory and security gaps. We get to see so many details about identified posture gaps; and the ability to integrate with other tools to block ongoing attacks. The only challenge I see is that they should update their documentation portal, it's great for a person who is an expert in the field but not so great for the beginners, they should also publish you tube videos of product features and demos for better understanding of their platform.
