Sysdig review

Best runtime detection for containers.

Verdict

Sysdig is the runtime-first choice because its Falco-based detection watches live container and cloud activity, then ties runtime insight back to posture and CIEM to cut noise using what is actually in use.

What customers praise

Falco-powered runtime threat detection, strong Kubernetes coverage, and runtime insight that prioritizes real in-use risk.

What customers criticise

Agentless-only buyers get less value, and posture breadth is narrower than the graph-led CNAPP leaders.

Best for

Container and Kubernetes-first teams that want runtime detection rooted in open-source Falco alongside posture and CIEM.
