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.
Amrutha Bennen - PeerSpot reviewer
An enterprise-level solution with amazing stability, integration capability, and support
Its integration capability is amazing. One thing about every single solution or product in the containerization or DevOps world is that it helps to integrate really well because we are not talking about one use case here. We are talking about multiple use cases. When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that. That's where every product has room to improve. Whether it's Mirantis, Docker, or even the other vendor that we work with called Sysdig, all of these organizations always strive to be extremely secure, and that is something that they are working towards every day. That's because the kind of problems that are being faced today will not be similar to what comes tomorrow. There will be a hundred new threats. It's an ongoing journey when it comes to security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"PingSafe offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable scalability suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"We like the GSL Builder feature. When you're running a security operations center, you spend a lot of time monitoring endpoint activity to ensure there is no malicious traffic or anonymous access in the environment. The GSL Builder is helpful for deep investigations of a particular reason for an incident. You can use it to get more information."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"We have more visibility than ever before, appreciating the valuable and proactive insight that we receive from the platform."
"Dome9 has improved our organization; we have a centralized view of all of our assets, our visible assets our ECs, our inventories. And then all the policies are centralized, and it is easier to manage because everything is one component console."
"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers."
"We like the ability to investigate, analyze, and generate reports."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"If we compare legacy application support to Docker, it's a superior product."
"I use Docker in combination with Kubernetes. Management of software packages is easy. It also can be done fast. Rolling out new software updates is smoother and faster due to Mirantis Container Cloud."
"The solution has enhanced the security and compliance management of container environments which reduces operational overhead and costs."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The solution containerizes software."
"This solution has improved our organization with the agility, microservices approach, and scalable solutions for distributed systems."
"Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user."
 

Cons

"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"Their search feature could be better."
"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."
"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."
"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."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."
"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."
"The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results."
"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'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."
"Down the road, we would like to see automation. That is probably a feature that most people want. If they can automate patching a vulnerability, it will be much easier."
"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."
"The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The setup can be better. With every other Check Point product, the setup is scripted. You just approve versions, and then you are off. The setup for this solution is still very much manual. I would like to see that transition to more of a scripted setup."
"With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable."
"In my previous years, I have brainstormed about the development of Container software. I have recently shifted focus, but the knowledge gained from those were really helpful. In my experience, Containers have their own complexities and to implement them, open source information is crucial. A software with new features would be beneficial. I suggest to implement a flow-based approach for container sequences, similar to Google Cloud's machine learning. The current process of deploying containers involves too many steps, and a more streamlined method would be appreciated. I've even automated deployment using APIs. Overall, simplifying container management and deployment processes would be valuable."
"Mirantis Container Cloud needs to improve its documentation."
"Areas for improvement are the privacy of container management and the documentation. In the next release, I would like to see best practices on how to manage distributed containers and networks."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."
"It will be better if the product provides dynamic load-balancing capabilities."
"When it comes to the integration part, it's the basic functionality, but for any product, at the end of the day, security is extremely relevant. I personally feel like you have to constantly strive towards being more secure. You can never be 100% secure, and you have to work more toward security. It's as simple as that."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"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."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"The license fee is high."
"The price is on the higher end."
"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
"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."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"This solution is free."
"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."
"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"The pricing and licensing really depends on what your needs are. You could be paying $100 a month to $100,000. It depends on the needs you have from the solution, and the agreement you make."
"Docker is a free solution."
"The product is not expensive."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
