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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It saves us time based on savings on manual activities."
"The remediation process is good."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable features like runtime notifications. These alerts come to my account, ensuring that if any port or component within my infrastructure is opened or compromised, I am informed immediately. It highlights issues within minutes or even seconds."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard that I can access without any difficulty."
"The UI is very good."
"Gives us centralized firewall management for both Windows and Linux distros. Also provides a clear view of the security configurations and connections across environments (DMZ, external and internal networks)."
"Customer service is very good."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver."
"The Compliance engine has helped put our auditors and senior executives at ease, as we can quickly and accurately measure ourselves against hundreds of compliance checks to include CIS benchmarks, PCI, and other best practices."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
 

Cons

"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."
"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."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"The documentation that I use for the initial setup can be more detailed or written in a more user-friendly language to avoid troubles."
"One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to."
"In the Analytics section, there is a tab for showing the severity of open issues by day. There are three options: by week, by month, and for more than thirty days. However, despite being aware of many issues open for more than thirty days, it shows no data available."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSSPM tool, but the CSC CWPP features need improvement."
"I would appreciate a way to receive periodic updates, like through email. I am the kind of person who likes to receive data passively."
"CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards."
"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."
"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."
"I’d like to see more integration with third-party tools. For example, it would be helpful to have an integration between Dome9 and ServiceNow to manage security incidents and security changes."
"The price of this solution should be reduced so that it is more affordable to scale."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"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"
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"Its price is very fair."
"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
"The license for CloudGuard Posture Management is about $80 a year, and it's based on your cloud footprint, not the number of users. So you could have a million users, and it doesn't matter."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."
"The license fee is high."
