Pros & cons
Advantages
- Free tier available with meaningful functionality for small teams and organisations evaluating the platform
- Behaviour-based detection catches novel threats that signature-based tools might miss
- Works across multiple cloud providers, useful for organisations with hybrid or multi-cloud setups
- Reduces false positives through machine learning rather than generating excessive alerts
Limitations
- Requires integration with cloud providers and may take time to establish accurate baseline behaviour before full effectiveness
- Can be complex to configure and tune properly, particularly for teams without dedicated cloud security expertise
- Pricing for larger deployments and advanced features may become significant as your cloud footprint grows
