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.
Burak AKCAGUN - PeerSpot reviewer
A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment
The most crucial aspect is runtime protection, specifically image scanning before preproduction and deployment. Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment. This feature ensures that customers can identify any potential issues with the image, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, before integrating it into their workloads and infrastructure. In their source pipeline, companies can identify issues before deploying changes. This is crucial because customers prefer resolving any problems or misconfigurations before the deployment process. Software change security, including GSPM Cloud, is a key feature customers seek in their infrastructure.
Mokshi Pandita - PeerSpot reviewer
An intelligent solution that prioritizes which vulnerability to target first in your project
We could create any number of repositories, but we can create only thirty projects with JFrog Xray. If I want things to work, it has to be one project and multiple repositories that belong to different real projects. So I have a limitation of thirty projects, despite being a premium customer. JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard. Although I am able to generate reports, there is no proper dashboard where I can see the total number of vulnerabilities, the total number of license issues, and how many vulnerabilities are fixed. Second, I found the shift left approach missing with JFrog Xray. JFrog Xray has integration with IDEs, but it does not tell you about the vulnerabilities until the artifact is created. However, Snyk could directly integrate with your repository and would not allow you to build unless you fix the problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."
"PingSafe offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"The most valuable feature of Aqua Security is the scanner."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"Support is very helpful."
"The solution was very user-friendly."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."
"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."
"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."
"Good reporting functionalities."
"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."
"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."
 

Cons

"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"While PingSafe offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options."
"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."
"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."
"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."
"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."
"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."
"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."
"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."
"The pricing of this solution could be improved."
"It comes at a reasonable cost."
"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."
"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."
