Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is a managed Kubernetes, so much of the maintenance in the control plane is handled automatically by the cloud service provider.""The most valuable features of AKS are scalability, deployability, and automation.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the diagnostic service.""The tool is budget-friendly.""The advantage of AKS is somewhat greater than that of Kubernetes, such as those provided by Google Cloud or AWS. However, the unique benefit offered by Microsoft is its robust CI/CD capabilities, along with the Azure feature for building workflows. When you combine the entire ecosystem, AKS becomes an excellent choice, particularly for enterprise applications.""It is appealing to us due to its complexity, which aligns well with our requirements.""The setup was straightforward and it took one hour to deploy.""The most valuable features of AKS are the full array of capabilities and robust security."

"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features.""PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console.""We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate.""The management console is the most valuable feature.""The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature.""My favorite feature is Storyline.""The most valuable feature of PingSafe is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software.""Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."

Cons
"We would like to see the addition of a service report from the server for this solution, so that we can monitor the health of server operations.""The technical support could be faster.""It just loses out because you have less access to it programmatically, with less technical or customizable access.""The solution's logs have room for improvement.""More control over Infra scanning can be introduced.""There is room for improvement in automation processes, as well.""The engineering team can reduce the management of the platform itself by improving the data plane part of the system to upload more management.""Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is not up to optimal standards when it comes to capturing logs and visualization."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cons →

"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation.""The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint.""I would like PingSafe's detections to be openly available online instead of only accessible through their portal. Other tools have detections that are openly available without going through the tool.""There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature.""There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security.""here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed.""They could generally give us better comprehensive rules.""One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "As you scale your operations, AKS becomes more cost-effective."
  • "We could spend as little as $25 or $30 a month on Kubernetes Services, compared to the typical $100 a month expenditure for a virtual machine."
  • "The cost of the solution is extremely high. Both Amazon and Azure cost extremely high. Given the basic features like when they are coming over the cluster nodes, we think over ten times before giving the solution to clients. No matter how many offerings the solution provides, it becomes so much of a burden that you are not even getting back your invested money from customers."
  • "The control plane is free and we only pay for the usage and time."
  • "It is expensive compared to other vendors."
  • "The product follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model which is good for small enterprises. You need to pay only for the services that you use."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The price of AKS is expensive. We pay approximately $10,000 monthly."

  • "As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
  • "It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
  • "I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
  • "I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
  • "It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
  • "The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
