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
8.1
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers varying financial outcomes, with users experiencing cost savings and positive returns, depending on use cases.
Sentiment score
7.9
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud boosts efficiency, saves costs, and speeds processes with improved integration and comprehensive threat detection.
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
6.0
Azure Kubernetes Service support receives mixed reviews, with helpful assistance praised but delays and complex processes noted by users.
Sentiment score
7.6
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security support is praised for knowledgeable, responsive service despite occasional variability in response times.
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
Azure Kubernetes Service excels in scalability, offering strong auto-scaling, adaptability, and global distribution, despite noted high costs.
Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is praised for its seamless scalability, automated deployment, and adaptability for diverse organizations.
AKS offers excellent scalability due to its adaptation from Kubernetes.
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.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is reliable, stable, with minor issues, offering self-healing and effective monitoring capabilities.
Sentiment score
8.3
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is praised for its high stability, seamless AWS integration, and minimal downtime despite minor issues.
From my usage, I would rate its stability as eight to nine out of ten.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Room For Improvement

Azure Kubernetes Service needs enhanced alerting, support, and usability with better cost, integration, logging, and documentation for improvements.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud needs enhanced search, cost-effectiveness, interface intuitiveness, stability, integration flexibility, and compatibility with legacy systems.
The costs are rising rapidly, and we have not seen any cost reductions by moving to Azure.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Kubernetes Service's costs are perceived as high but offer reasonable licensing with flexible payment plans and manageability advantages.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers competitive pricing and flexible licensing, with cost-effective options and add-ons for diverse business needs.
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.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Azure Kubernetes Service offers robust security, scalability, and integration features, excelling in orchestration and efficiency for large workloads.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is praised for intuitive UI, real-time detection, extensive integration, and robust security features.
The most valuable features of Azure Kubernetes Service are its integration with Kubernetes, offering similar features for a seamless experience.
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.

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…
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.
