Multi-compare
Stack up cloud security platforms side by side
Short answer
Pick two to five platforms to see every score, reason, environment and published price in one table. The default view shows our top three on coverage weights: Orca Security (9.09), Wiz (9.03) and CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security (7.94).
How do the selected platforms compare?
| Row | Orca | Wiz |
|---|---|---|
| Total | ||
| Rank | 1 of 9 | 2 of 9 |
| Clouds and environments named 20% | 10.0highest in this selection Names six public clouds, including Oracle, Alibaba and Tencent, plus on-premises and private cloud for its sensor. | 9.0 Names AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OCI and the workload types it reaches across them; no Alibaba, Tencent, on-premises or disconnected environments on the pages reviewed. |
| Agentless workload depth 25% | 9.8highest in this selection SideScanning reads block storage out of band and covers Linux and Windows VMs, containers and images, and serverless with no agent. | 9.6 Connects by API and, Wiz states, reaches VMs, containers, serverless, PaaS and AI resources without agents. |
| Path to first findings 15% | 9.0highest in this selection No agent before the first inventory, and Orca states SideScanning deploys in minutes (vendor claim). | 8.5 API connection with no agent for the core scan; the pages reviewed state no setup time. |
| Risk context from day one 15% | 9.6 Risk scoring and attack path analysis run on one data model built from the full agentless read. | 9.8highest in this selection The Security Graph joins infrastructure, identities, data and AI resources into attack paths; the reference design in the category. |
| Runtime layer when you need it 10% | 7.6 The eBPF Orca Sensor adds detections and can terminate processes, but it is an optional layer and less proven than runtime-first rivals. | 8.4highest in this selection The eBPF Wiz Sensor blocks threats, but runtime was added to an agentless core rather than being where Wiz started. |
| Integrations and reach 7% | 8.2 Covers GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Bitbucket and CircleCI, but the partner and market footprint is smaller than Wiz's or the platform vendors'. | 9.8highest in this selection 200+ integrations through WIN, a Fortune 100 footprint Wiz puts above 65%, and Google ownership since March 2026. |
| Cost visibility before purchase 8% | 6.5 AWS Marketplace lists four tiers by concurrent EC2 workloads ($7,000.00 to $30,000.00); the contract term was not captured in our read, and Orca's own site has no price. | 7.0highest in this selection AWS Marketplace lists 12-month prices per 100 workloads for two editions, plus priced add-ons for sensor, code and Defend; its own site quotes custom prices. |
| Environments named | 7 of 8 | 4 of 8 |
| Coverage model | Agentless SideScanning reads each workload's runtime block storage and rebuilds its file system in a read-only view, covering Linux and Windows VMs, containers and images, and serverless. | Agentless API connection; Wiz states it reaches VMs, containers, serverless, PaaS and AI resources without agents and maps them in its Security Graph. |
| Runtime layer | Orca Sensor, eBPF-based, for Linux, Kubernetes and Windows; can be configured to terminate processes and shows which vulnerable packages actually execute. Optional. | Wiz Sensor, eBPF-based, blocks threats on VMs, containers and serverless containers (Wiz Defend). Optional. |
| Path to first findings | Agentless connection to each cloud account; Orca states SideScanning "deploys in minutes". No agent rollout is needed for the first inventory. | Connects to each cloud by API with no agent for the core scan. The pages reviewed do not state a setup time. |
| Ownership | Standalone vendor | Part of Google since 11 March 2026 (a $32 billion deal announced 18 March 2025) |
| Pricing | AWS Marketplace lists four contract tiers by concurrent EC2 workloads: Small (up to 100) $7,000.00, Small-Medium (300) $12,000.00, Medium (500) $17,000.00, Large (1,000) $30,000.00. The listing has 1-month and 12-month tabs; we did not capture which term these figures belong to, so confirm the term on the listing. No price on Orca's own site. | AWS Marketplace, 12-month contract: Wiz Essential, 100 cloud workloads, $24,000.00; Wiz Advanced, 100 cloud workloads, $38,000.00. Add-ons: Wiz Sensor (100 sensors, for Wiz Advanced) $28,000.00; Wiz Code (100 licenses) $58,500.00; Wiz Defend (300 GB of logs per month, for Wiz Advanced) $18,000.00. Wiz's own site quotes custom prices. |

Which head-to-head pages cover this selection?
Frequently asked questions
Can I share a comparison?
Yes. The selection is in the page address, so copying the URL shares the same view.
Are the scores measured?
No. They are editorial scores from public vendor pages read in September 2026 and updated on 11 October 2026, each with a one-line reason. Vendor figures are the vendors' claims.
Why do some coverage strips have empty cells?
A vendor may support an environment without naming it on the pages we reviewed. An empty cell means not named, not unsupported.
