Solid product for multi-cloud visibility, security, and compliance control
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our team of 8 managers a multi-cloud environment (AWS and AZURE). OpsCompass is a helpful tool for cloud security and also helps us implement configuration best practices and see any changes in real time. We started with the free trial. It was easy to sign up for and get started. Once we connected to our AWS and Azure instances, we were able to get a quick inventory of all of our cloud assets and understand the state of each. We like the built-in compliance policies. We used CIS to determine if we had the right configurations. If we didn't, the tool was good at identifying problems and making easy recommendations to improve the configuration. The compliance score was a great way to baseline and measure our progress and was something we shared with our team and our management.
Pros
- Inventory discovery
- Detecting unauthorized changes
- Configuration drift
- Infrastructure changes impacting cost
- Measuring and benchmarking compliance
- Scoring and reporting of risk
- Helping our team do more with limited resources
Cons
- I would like to see more integrations to help surface alerts. Slack would be great, as an example.
- An imbedded tour or onboarding would help our new users, but overall, the product is pretty easy to figure out
Likelihood to Recommend
We previously had separate products to manage Azure and AWS, each with different capabilities, and it was very complex for our team to go back and forth and try to make sense of each environment. OpsCompass is very well suited to give you a single view of our entire cloud environment. OpsCompass also brings excellent compliance policies. We were not highly skilled with these policies, but the product made it easy to perform an assessment of our current state and identify areas where we had non-compliance issues. CIS policies were a great area to start and we later tried the Microsoft 365 policies, which were also helpful. More policies would be great to see.
