About Cloud Security Compare

What does Cloud Security Compare cover?

Head-to-head comparisons and alternatives pages for buyers who already have a shortlist of cloud-native application protection platforms. We cover nine vendors: Wiz, Orca Security, Palo Alto Networks Cortex Cloud (formerly Prisma Cloud), Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Upwind, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud, Sysdig Secure and Aqua Security. Alongside the comparisons we publish buyer notes, a short University with a glossary of comparison and buying terms, and a monthly news digest.

How do we keep comparisons consistent?

• One rubric and one set of weights for all nine vendors, published on the matrix page.
• Every score has a written reason, shown under the relevant tug-of-war bar.
• Totals are computed in code from the published scores and weights.
• Vendor facts come from vendor pages we link to, with the review date.
• Vendor claims are attributed to the vendor.

What are the limitations?

Built from vendor product and documentation pages, reviewed September 2026. No hands-on testing, no vendor interviews, no demos. Details: How to read these comparisons.
