Cons	Aqua Security The UI/UX of the Aqua platform has several issues, especially with the sign up/in flow, authentication, alerts and display of results Missing a few prominent notification channels for alerts such as Datadog, Webhooks Lacks complete granularity in RBAC with the ability to set permissions based on the cloud Some parts of the cocumentation for connecting an Oracle Cloud account is not up to update or clear Incentivized Avinash Upadhyaya K R DevOps Engineer Read full review	F5 Its not related to Ingress functionality but certificate management with cloud vendor would be a feature i would like to see. Incentivized AS Amit Setia Senior Engineer] Read full review
Usability	Aqua Security The UI and UX of the platform requires some work since the platform is not for all screen sizes and the experience with certain features such as authentication and creating alerts is not great. The session times out while performing an action and having to repeat the entire action once again, which is not a great experience. Adding notification channels while creating the alerts is not seamless. But the platform has good UX with some great documentation for integrations along with the ability to customise dashboards.

Alternatives Considered	Aqua Security Aqua Cloud Native Security Platform is easy to implement and manage compare the Dome9. Incentivized WH William Huang Lead Security Architect Read full review	F5 We are already using NGINX which is so reliable, it definitely lends weight to our decision to select NGINX Ingress Controller. Also, even though it is a little more complex to manage, NGINX Ingress Controller definitely have a richer feature set, better performance, caching, traffic management among other features which was why it was chosen.
