Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly scalable, integrates well with cloud platforms, and supports seamless growth and autoscaling.
Sentiment score
7.7
Amazon EKS is praised for its robust scalability, efficiently managing resources with minimal pod interruptions during scaling.
Sentiment score
8.0
Lacework FortiCNAPP is praised for scalability, adaptable across various environments, with minor licensing challenges noted by users.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
The ability to scale based on requirements by deploying additional containers is a strong point for Kubernetes.
It can scale very well according to needs, and it doesn't have any issues with scalability.
I would rate the scalability of Amazon EKS an eight out of ten, suggesting it has high scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly stable with minimal issues, praised for reliability and seamless AWS interoperability.
Sentiment score
8.5
Amazon EKS is highly stable and reliable for Kubernetes management, with minor issues unrelated to the service itself.
Sentiment score
7.4
Lacework FortiCNAPP demonstrates stable performance with minimal issues and rare non-disruptive delays, fostering user confidence in its capabilities.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne Cloud Security needs better search, cost efficiency, integration, documentation, and reduced false positives for improved user experience.
Amazon EKS needs better stability, security, UI design, simpler setup, cost efficiency, integration, monitoring, support, and documentation.
Lacework FortiCNAPP enhancements focus on visibility, IAM controls, usability, integration, and granularity in alert management and reporting.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
Simplifying these will enable more people, not just those with strong foundational knowledge, to work effectively with these services.
A UI could help generate config files, simplifying the process for developers who are not architects.
Currently, some third-party plugins, like certain network plugins such as CNI, Calico CNI, or Cilium, are not fully supported.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity offers flexible pricing for varied business needs, but costs vary with features and partnerships may offer discounts.
Amazon EKS offers flexible pricing by CPU or machine type, cost-effective for large enterprises but costly for smaller ones.
Lacework FortiCNAPP offers stable, competitive pricing, starting at $80,000 annually, with a unique, refined licensing structure.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
The pricing structure is beneficial for large companies who pay for what they use, but it is not affordable for startups.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud offers AI-driven security, real-time detection, automated responses, and scalability for enhanced threat management.
Amazon EKS offers scalable, user-friendly Kubernetes management with multi-cloud support, seamless AWS integration, and enhanced security features.
Lacework FortiCNAPP excels with ease of use, machine learning anomaly detection, compliance reports, and seamless multi-cloud security integration.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.
The most beneficial aspect of Amazon EKS is that it helps manage the Kubernetes master node, so I don't need to maintain the master node, including tasks like upgrading.
The scalability is excellent, allowing us to efficiently handle customer experiences and improve operational efficiency.
Now, with the serverless option, you can deploy everything and AWS handles the infrastructure.

Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Rock Wang - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing complex environments effortlessly while focusing on growth
The most beneficial aspect of Amazon EKS is that it helps manage the Kubernetes master node, so I don't need to maintain the master node, including tasks like upgrading. This allows me to focus on business code. If using services like Fargate, I only need to maintain my workload, simply uploading code that will be deployed to the Kubernetes cluster. This is especially beneficial for startup companies that lack the technical resources to manage the Kubernetes cluster. Furthermore, Amazon EKS allows me to utilize Kubernetes cluster-level expansion. If there’s insufficient resource on a machine, the cluster can automatically expand to add new nodes.
Carlos Vitrano - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides quick visibility and significantly reduces alerts
Its integrations with third-party SIEMs can be better. That is one of the things that we discussed with them. We have integrations, for instance, with Splunk. The data that we are receiving in Splunk is huge, and it is valid because Lacework has a bunch of data that they can provide to you. However, to be able to import the data and create alerts, we needed to do some work, so integration is one of the things that they can improve. For container security, how they scan images and how they provide results is something that they need to continue improving in terms of visibility. We already have visibility to several artifacts, but they can take that to the next level and see what else they can do. There can be better integrations with CI/CD pipelines. There can be improvements in terms of how we can take action or how we can report from the number of inventories they are providing to us.
