Sentiment score
6.0
AWS GuardDuty needs enhancements in mobile access, dashboard, cost efficiency, integrations, threat detection, UI, and automated remediation.
No sentiment score available
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.
Further integration with services like API Gateway would be beneficial.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
9.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security excels in scalable, seamless endpoint integration and deployment, with robust adaptability and auto-scaling features.
Sentiment score
8.3
AWS GuardDuty is highly scalable, accommodating increased data volumes, user growth, and ensuring reliable security monitoring in dynamic cloud infrastructures.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Setup Cost

Sentiment score
7.8
SentinelOne Singularity offers competitive and flexible pricing with discounts, modular options, and savings compared to competitors like Sophos.
No sentiment score available
AWS GuardDuty offers pay-as-you-go pricing, cost-effectiveness for smaller organizations, and integration with AWS Security Hub.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
SentinelOne Singularity is reliable, stable, and integrates well with AWS, despite minor agent issues and interface concerns.
Sentiment score
8.5
AWS GuardDuty is stable, reliable, and well-rated, with minor issues, supporting large-scale management and offering quick analytics.
No sentiment score available
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
The stability of GuardDuty is extremely reliable.
 

Valuable Features

Sentiment score
8.7
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security delivers automated threat management, seamless integration, and comprehensive visibility, enhancing productivity and security efficiency.
Sentiment score
8.0
AWS GuardDuty offers centralized data collection, threat detection, and integration with AWS services for easy, cost-effective security monitoring.
No sentiment score available
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.
It notifies you immediately when something goes wrong, allowing quick response to threats.

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.
Betika Brandon - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances the security of AWS infrastructures and applications, ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA
AWS GuardDuty helps by providing continuous threat detection and signaling potential threats. Its most valuable feature is continuous monitoring. The tool's integration with other AWS services has improved security. It provides continuous monitoring and intelligent threat detection, quickly signaling any issues. I would rate this improvement a seven out of ten. The solution's machine learning capabilities help identify threats by continuously collecting data such as IP addresses, user agents, API calls, and network traffic patterns. This data is used to train machine learning models, which can then identify normal activity patterns and detect variations that indicate security threats. AWS GuardDuty is crucial in identifying security threats in the AWS environment.

SecOps program for us, as a smaller company, is amazing; they know what to look for
They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter. Even as part of the SecOps Program, that could be helpful; a quick analysis. They're analyzing our whole infrastructure and saying, "You have one VPC and that doesn't make a lot of sense, that should be multiple VPCs and here's why." The architecture of the servers in whatever cloud-hosting provider you're on could be helpful. Other than that, they should continue to expand on their notifications and on what's a vulnerability. They do a great job of that and we want them to continue to do that. It would be cool, since the agent is already deployed and they know about the server, they know the IP address, and they know what vulnerability is there, for them to test the vulnerability and see if they can actually exploit it. Or, once we patch it, they could double-check that it can't be. I don't know how hard that would be to build. Thinking on it off the top off my head, it could be a little challenging but it could also be highly interesting. It would also be great if we could test a couple of other features like hammering a server with 100 login attempts and see what happens. Real test scenarios could be really helpful. That is probably more something close to what they do with the SOC 2 audit or the report. But more visualization of that, being able to test things out on our infrastructure to make sure we can or can't hit this box could be interesting.
