What is Sysdig Secure?

Sysdig Secure is our CNAPP platform that more than 700 enterprise customers use to address CNAPP, VM, CSPM, CIEM, container security and more - at enterprise scale. Our platform spans prevention, detection, and response so customers can confidently secure containers, Kubernetes, hosts/servers, and cloud services. Sysdig provides real-time visibility at scale across multiple clouds, eliminating security blind spots. We use intelligence from runtime to prioritize alerts so teams can focus on high-impact security events and improve efficiency. By understanding the entire source to response flow and suggesting guided remediation, customers can both fix issues in production with no wasted time and also detect and respond to threats in real time.

The Sysdig CNAPP security suite is amongst the best in the business. The product itself is fairly comprehensive and they are able to capture signals that most other vendors can't. The account team has been phenomenal and has been engaged since we first reached out. Overall, we're very happy with the service and the team.

It's a solid product, however there's room for improvement. It gets you most of the way, but not fully across the finish line.

Performance of Sysdig Secure Across Market Features

Sysdig Secure Likes & Dislikes

Sysdig is the company behind Falco, an open-source CNCF project and the de facto threat detection system for Kubernetes. This fact alone is an indication of the caliber of the underlying product that Sysdig has built. Unlike most other vendors, Sysdig's security fundamentals are rock solid. The Sysdig platform provides an unprecedented level of detail on the security posture and active threat landscape of our cloud and container environment. Being able to define and tweak detailed rules, compare against industry benchmarks, and have Sysdig automatically generate network policies are all some simple highlights. Sysdig's new AI features also simplify RCA considerably. The best part about Sysdig is that it checks off many boxes, including threat detection, vulnerability scanning, cloud posture management, network monitoring, and much more.

The meta data for the vulnerabilities is quite good. Integration with cloud and k8s is easy and painless. Anomaly detection is pretty good

The compliance section is really well done. Being able to see frameworks side-by-side, understand which controls we are failing, and mark certain findings as accepted risk has been helpful for our audits. I also like how vulnerabilities are separated by where they show up - makes it easier to figure out if something slipped through CI or came from the base image. The Falco rules give us a lot of control once you figure out how to use them properly.

The Sysdig product is a bit rough around the edges. The UI can be a bit dense and difficult to navigate. This has been improving, but there's still some way to go. Onboarding was also unnecessarily difficult. The team has responded well to feedback and has made several improvements. I would like to see further improvements that make it easier to onboard (for example, managed docker registry scanning).

The UI needs a lot of improvement, it's confusing and not intuitive. Opening tickets per image is a big missing feature to complete the vuln mgmt workflow. The automatically generated remediation guidance from Sage is missing key information. The pricing model is a huge pain, as it's difficult to estimate growth in nodes and not all nodes are created equal and it emphasizes you to use the largest node size possible to save money. Constantly needing to true-up within the year. My infra team also says the agent consumes too many resources is and much heavier than other equivalent agents. There's also no internet exposure or attack path feature, as it's only for the ingress controllers, but nothing behind them.

Too many medium-severity alerts that turn out to be nothing. We're constantly triaging stuff that doesn't matter for our actual environment. The prioritization isn't smart enough - it doesn't seem to consider whether a vulnerable package is actually being used or exposed to the internet. We need better context around which CVEs actually pose risk to us, versus just existing somewhere in the stack. Also, the data security features feel pretty basic compared to what you get for infra security.

Good Visibility and AWS integrations, but needs work to filter out noise
4.0
Nov 4, 2025
We've used Sysdig for a few months. Setup was pretty smooth thanks to the AWS Organizations support - that definitely helped us get going faster than expected. The vulnerability views across pipeline, registry, and runtime are useful for tracking where issues come from. That said, we're still spending quite a bit of time filtering out false positives on the threat detection side. Support has been hit or miss - we've had some really helpful interactions on Slack, but response times aren't always consistent.

Sysdig Reduces CVE Noise and Alert Fatigue With Runtime Aware Tools

Oct 30, 2025
Sysdig overall has been a pleasure to use and implement in our organization. It has replaced several other tools and manual processes with one unified platform for vulnerability management, runtime security, and compliance reporting. New features are rolled out frequently, and whenever we find a bug or have a feature request it is relayed to the appropriate folks quickly. Their customer success team responds quickly and is knowledgeable about the platform and the underlying tech.

Support Team Proactivity and Broad Platform Compatibility Enhance Security Experience

Oct 30, 2025
We used to really strugglewith vulnerability management across our enviroment. Our team was manually exporting vulnerability data from our container scanner and our VM scanner into spreadsheets to correlate the CVEs, a process that easily took 2-3 hours every week. This sroduct has been a game-changer for that workflow. Now, everything is automatically correlated, allowing us to see the full context of a criticalvulnerability on a single dashboard within minutes of detection. The support team has also been a true partner. For example, our image scan times were running a bit long. The support team took the time to review our setup and suggested a new, tailored scanning policy. By implementing their advice, we reduced our scan times by a tangible 20%.
