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.
Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, I appreciate the monitoring features and the report with the compliance score."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability."
"The offensive security where they do a fix is valuable. They go to a misconfiguration and provide detailed alerts on what could be there. They also provide a remediation feature where if we give the permission, they can also go and fix the issue."
"We like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"Compliance is becoming an important tool for us as well."
"The CDR helps detect anomalous behavior and respond to threats before they become an issue."
"Cloud security posture management is the feature we've been using the longest."
"It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"Auto remediation is a very effective feature that helps ensure less manual intervention."
"Visibility is a key feature. It helps me to validate my overall network posture."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."
"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
 

Cons

"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."
"Their search feature could be better."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"I would like additional integrations."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, the visibility is not immediately available for the environment. We have the native servers that come with the solutions, but we cannot see them in the Check Point log. Another issue is with the integrated file monitoring. It would make sense to have stuff like file integrity monitoring and malware scanning available within this module because we don't want to integrate another product."
"Their service needs improvement."
"Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud."
"Automatic remediation requires read/write access. When providing read/write access to third-party applications, this can add risk. It should have some options of triggering API calls to the cloud platform, which in turn, can make the required changes."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"I would appreciate a way to receive periodic updates, like through email. I am the kind of person who likes to receive data passively."
"We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements."
"Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
"The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
"The licensing part still needs some work. The issue that I have is that we do not use all the services in the cloud, but sometimes, CloudGuard identifies them as an asset."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Its price is moderate."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"It's an expensive product"
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
