Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.0
SentinelOne Singularity enhances security, cuts response times, saves 20-45% costs, and boosts productivity with automation and integration.
Sentiment score
8.1
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers varying financial outcomes, with users experiencing cost savings and positive returns, depending on use cases.
Sentiment score
6.9
Lacework FortiCNAPP enhances ROI by automating monitoring, integrating with Jira, reducing personnel needs, and improving security management.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.7
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is praised for responsive, knowledgeable support, though occasional slow response times are mentioned.
Sentiment score
6.0
Azure Kubernetes Service support receives mixed reviews, with helpful assistance praised but delays and complex processes noted by users.
Sentiment score
7.8
Lacework FortiCNAPP's customer service is valued for proactive communication, Slack integration, and reliable technical support despite occasional delays.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
 

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
8.1
Azure Kubernetes Service excels in scalability, offering strong auto-scaling, adaptability, and global distribution, despite noted high costs.
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.
AKS offers excellent scalability due to its adaptation from Kubernetes.
 

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
7.4
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is reliable, stable, with minor issues, offering self-healing and effective monitoring capabilities.
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.
From my usage, I would rate its stability as eight to nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne Cloud Security needs better search, cost efficiency, integration, documentation, and reduced false positives for improved user experience.
Azure Kubernetes Service needs enhanced alerting, support, and usability with better cost, integration, logging, and documentation for improvements.
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.
The costs are rising rapidly, and we have not seen any cost reductions by moving to Azure.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity offers flexible pricing for varied business needs, but costs vary with features and partnerships may offer discounts.
Azure Kubernetes Service's costs are perceived as high but offer reasonable licensing with flexible payment plans and manageability advantages.
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.
Transitioning to Azure did not bring cost reductions; in fact, costs are rising rapidly.
The pricing for Azure Kubernetes Service seems to be around the average, which I would rate as a five out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud offers AI-driven security, real-time detection, automated responses, and scalability for enhanced threat management.
Azure Kubernetes Service offers robust security, scalability, and integration features, excelling in orchestration and efficiency for large workloads.
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 valuable features of Azure Kubernetes Service are its integration with Kubernetes, offering similar features for a seamless experience.

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.
Raymond De Rooij - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalability and flexibility but needs better support
We are using Azure Kubernetes Service as a customer. I cannot detail all the products and technologies we are using There isn't one specific feature of Azure Kubernetes Service that I can name as most valuable. It's part of a strategic solution yet I don't see an advantage compared to our…
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.
