Cortex Cloud is eight acquired products stitched together. Untangling that becomes your job, not theirs.
Why Sysdig Is a Better Choice Than
Cortex Cloud
Priced so you can forecast it.
Agentless scanning runs on our infrastructure, so turning it on doesn’t change your cloud bill.
You budget in dollars. They bill in credits.
Consumption rates get adjusted, so the forecast and the invoice drift apart.
Built as one platform.
Detection, posture, vulnerability, and identity were never separate products, so nothing needs integrating. One agent, one data model, one upgrade path.
Built by acquisition.
Evident.io, RedLock, Twistlock, PureSec, Aporeto, Bridgecrew, Cider Security, Dig Security. Eight companies, now one console.
You shouldn’t need a query to find out what happened.
Syscall-level capture and full process lineage, attached to the alert.
Correlation across modules is the hard part.
Cross-domain linking is where assembled platforms struggle most.
One workflow, not one login.
Unified investigation path from posture finding to running process.
A shared console over separate products.
New interface, same underlying module boundaries.
Wide isn’t the hard part.
Cloud, hybrid, and on-prem, plus which vulnerable packages are actually loaded in memory.
Breadth without runtime depth.
Wide agentless surface; less signal on what’s actually executing.
Sysdig allows us to really hone in to see our critical workloads and what's exposed to the internet. And then of the identified vulnerabilities, what is actually in use versus not in use, or a vulnerability that has a fix versus doesn’t have a fix.”
