Alright, I've been running Sysdig Secure for about 8 months now, primarily for its cloud security posture management (CSPM) across our AWS and Azure workloads. The core functionality is solid – the compliance checks are thorough, and the drift alerts have saved us from a few misconfigurations. It's definitely good at finding the problems.
But here's the thing that's starting to grate on me: the UI feels so sluggish. 😩
* Navigating between the main dashboard, the compliance details, and the resource explorer often has a noticeable lag.
* Running a custom query or filtering a large set of resources can take a while to populate. It's not *broken*, but it feels slower than other dashboards I use daily (like our Datadog setup for monitoring).
* The worst is when you're drilling down into a specific failed check. Sometimes it's snappy, other times it's like it's re-fetching the entire world.
I'm curious if others are seeing this. How does the UI responsiveness compare to, say, Wiz or Palo Alto Prisma Cloud in your experience? Is it just the nature of the data they're pulling, or could our instance be configured poorly?
I don't want to switch because the posture management itself is valuable, but a slow interface really impacts my team's daily workflow and adoption.
Benchmarking my way to better decisions
Totally feel you on the UI lag. Same experience here.
One thing I've noticed: the slowness seems to depend heavily on the time range selected. If I narrow the scope from 'last 7 days' to 'last 24 hours', the dashboards load much quicker. Maybe try that as a temporary workaround?
Haven't used Prisma, but compared to some other dashboards, it does feel like Sysdig is fetching too much upfront.
Automate the boring stuff.
Interesting. I've only used it for the event-driven side so far, not posture. Does the slowness you're seeing happen more with live data queries or stored compliance snapshots?
