Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation

I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Multi-cloud, good scanning, and offers extensive guides

The challenge is that they charge you per resource. We had an issue where Google Cloud was generating secrets for our application configurations by the hundreds, which we would be charged by Bridgecloud. Our price would have surged to an insane amount due to the automatically generated secrets that we don't even use for anything, which isn't part of our security concern. What we would like to know is if there is a way that we could exclude those from our resources so that we're not billed for that. We don't monitor that. They ignored me for a month through four emails asking about that. They were just totally unresponsive. Then after a month, I said, "I guess you don't want our business." And they responded, "Oh, we're sorry to hear that." I'd say "You're sorry to hear that? Why didn't you respond to any of my emails?" If you're trying to pay them less money, then they want to get rid of you. They don't want to talk to you. That's what it came across as. It's not like we weren't looking at spending thousands of dollars a month with them. We just weren't looking at spending $8,000 versus $2,000. That was a bit frustrating. Generally, I do like their product. It's a useful product. It's good. We wanted to use it. However, since they blew us off, it left a bad taste in our mouths. Their sales team needs a little bit of a jostle to get themselves together. We'd like to see better monitoring and the ability to deny certain resources from being scanned.

Soc Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

Agentless cloud security has improved attack path visibility but still needs stronger real-time blocking

Yes, as per my experience, it has been very helpful. In our organization, we did not find any major or priority one kind of alerts or risks because we had a very good infrastructure structure and cybersecurity architecture built in our organization. Orca Security helped us find what vulnerabilities or gaps existed which we could improve within our architecture. It helped us in such a way that we used to close the open ports and only allowed internal IPs for necessity. For staging environments and for prod we had DOS protection. If network traffic showed that anybody was trying to flood our systems, we would only accept all and our client-related IPs or an approved list of vendor lists we would have. We would get to know where the gaps are and where the improvements we could make. Being an analyst class engineer, I could use my brain in those areas and it was very helpful to have Orca Security in my arsenal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."

"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."

"The key strength of Singularity Cloud Security lies in its ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in our cloud accounts and identify suspicious activity that warrants further investigation."

"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."

"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."

"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."

"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"With any Palo Alto product that they put out, they typically have a very extensive amount of documentation behind it, and their technical account management team is almost unrivaled."

"New users don't have too many problems with the product. They have a lot of training documentation around it."

"The software itself is good software and does great things."

"In cases where they have automatic remediations, you can click a button and it'll just fix the configuration for you."

"Orca gives you great visibility into your assets. It shows you the issues and the things that you need to attend to first, by prioritizing things. You can see a lot of information that is not always visible, even to DevOps, to help you know about the machines and their status. It's very easy to see everything in a single dashboard. That makes it a very useful tool."

"Another valuable feature with Orca, something that's not talked about enough, is its ability to rank your gaps and your tasks... You can get visibility with agents and there are a lot of ways to do that. But the ranking and the context across the entire environment, that is what is unique about Orca."

"With Orca, I feel confident that I have full coverage of all of my resources."

"The product itself is really good. It helped us streamline the way we access our servers."

"It's for protection. It's an agentless tool. We don't need to install anything at a customer's premises. We can just scan the entire assets in the cloud."

"Orca Security integration was one of the easiest we have done because it is cloud-native and agentless."

"We really enjoy using Orca; it's a very well-designed, well-executed product, I'm really super-impressed, this is a game-changer."

"The initial setup is very easy."

More Orca Security pros

Cons

"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."

"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its cost could be a barrier for some users."

"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."

"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."

"I would prefer to see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM and CSPM."

"One potential drawback is the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, which may be prohibitive for smaller businesses or startups, particularly those in regions with lower average incomes, such as India."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Before the Palo Alto acquisition, BridgeCrew had a reputation of them not being the best, however, since having that additional support from Palo Alto, I haven't heard of any issues."

"We'd like to see better monitoring and the ability to deny certain resources from being scanned."

"However, since they blew us off, it left a bad taste in our mouths."

"The biggest issue that I see companies run into is that they immediately think that, "Oh, this solution will be right, simply due to the name." But that's the same issue Splunk runs into. People will immediately jump to Splunk being the best SIEM tool, just because they're the largest. When in reality, QRadar, LogRhythm, and all these other ones are performing similar functions and would actually fit better in some people's environments. Therefore, it's important a company does its homework and does not assume one size fits all."

"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."

"A few things could potentially be improved, particularly regarding false positives and the UI."

"The problem with the Orca Security technical support team and customer service team is that Orca Security is a medium company and I think they do not have a large team."

"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options."

"I believe they need more time developing this solution, which means they need to be more comprehensive and extended in their approach."

"The main drawback in an agentless approach is that if the solution detects a virus or malware in the environment, we need to manually remove it."

"Orca Security can improve the way that a customer can create auto-remediation without depending on support to do that."

"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection. While we have pretty good confidence that it's going to detect some of the static malware, some of the detections are heuristics. There could be a growth in the library from where they're pulling their information, but we don't get a lot of those alerts based on the design of our products. In general, that might be an area that needs to be filled since they offer it as a service within it."

More Orca Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."

"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."

"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"PingSafe is affordable."

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

Information not available

"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."

"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."

"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."

"Its license is a bit expensive."

"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."

"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."

"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."

"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."
