Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.0
SentinelOne Cloud Security boosts ROI by improving threat detection, reducing costs, and enhancing productivity with efficient issue resolution.
Sentiment score
7.5
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP provides ROI through enhanced security, reduced vulnerabilities, and efficiency gains in cloud management and compliance.
Sentiment score
7.6
Wiz improved asset management, simplified security tools, reduced costs, enhanced cloud monitoring, and boosted proactive security measures.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
Monitoring cloud security automatically ensures a return on investment.
Compliance is much easier as we can now get in-depth monitoring of controls from an ISO or software perspective.
We have seen ROI from Wiz and we continued to see value in Wiz.
We estimate a cost reduction of around 35% to 50%, or even more, due to consolidating our security management into one platform.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.7
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security excels in responsive support, quick problem-solving, and integration, despite occasional slow responses.
Sentiment score
7.0
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP's customer service is generally praised but has occasional issues with responsiveness and initial problem resolution.
Sentiment score
7.5
Wiz support is highly rated for responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, and effective communication, despite initial contact and resolution time challenges.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
When I need help or have open questions, or if I require the capability to deploy a quick test environment, there are always people I can contact at Check Point to get my information or the environment as fast as I need it.
I have a dedicated support engineer and a presales engineer dedicated to me.
The technical support is quick and easy; as we were onboarded as new customers, we had Wiz representatives available for hand-holding during the deployment.
At the next meeting, they follow up with me, and it's usually resolved pretty fast.
We have a dedicated channel with Wiz and are always in communication with them.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is praised for its scalability, ease of deployment, and adaptability to dynamic environments.
Sentiment score
7.9
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers strong scalability and reliable performance, though licenses and costs may pose challenges for expansion.
Sentiment score
8.0
Wiz is praised for its scalable SaaS capabilities, adapting automatically to various demands, with minor cost management challenges.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
I never had any performance-related issues.
This solution is very scalable; if I add resources to new accounts, they are automatically monitored.
We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly rated for stability, with minor issues in agent communication and occasional lag.
Sentiment score
8.3
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is highly stable, reliable under heavy loads, and receives strong user satisfaction ratings for dependability.
Sentiment score
8.1
Wiz is mostly stable, with resolved issues and high user satisfaction, despite minor login and alert discrepancies during implementation.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
If there are errors, it is sometimes challenging to elaborate or troubleshoot since it is not transparent enough to understand what to search for.
It is rapidly evolving, and sometimes mistakes occur, necessitating testing.
We've only had downtime from maintenance and updates, and they notify us in advance, so we aren't impacted.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.
The solution is very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Users desire better search, cost efficiency, interface, firewall, stability, integrations, alert speed, support, and documentation for SentinelOne Cloud.
Users want better third-party integration, automation, intuitive reporting, cost-efficiency, platform support, and refined security in Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP.
Wiz needs enhanced remediation, logging, executive reporting, customizable dashboards, integration, cost efficiency, and improved network visibility.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle.
I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel.
We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.
We are trying to figure out how to increase the frequency of the scans, as some universities do not wait a day before they know if something is exposed.
One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides flexible, cost-effective pricing with modular options, appreciated for value and scalability in cloud-security.
Check Point's CNAPP offers flexible, transparent pricing with annual or hourly licenses, though costs may rise with cloud infrastructure growth.
Wiz's pricing evolves with feature-based tiers, offering value in security but raises concerns about cost and transparency.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
It is not cheap, of course, yet it is a necessity.
From a licensing and cost perspective, it is really competitive.
We got results with Wiz immediately; we installed it and met our goal during the four-week trial.
We are paying 250k per year.
In some cases, it has a very aggressive price, so very cheap.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers ease of use, real-time detection, and integration with tools for efficient threat management.
Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP excels with dynamic controls, compliance tools, threat detection, and asset management for enhanced cloud security.
Wiz offers risk prioritization, contextual visibility, and agentless scanning to enhance vulnerability management, efficiency, and remediation strategies.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.
The CDR helps detect anomalous behavior and respond to threats before they become an issue.
Detecting misconfigurations in the cloud is what the CSPM delivers.
It helps our company identify risks that are most critical to our business.
We were able to get Wiz installed within a couple of hours for all of our cloud assets and we could see insights into our security posture within a couple of hours of the installation.
Wiz's ability to scan every layer of our cloud environments without agents gives us profound visibility into the vulnerabilities.
The feature leads to minimal false positives and a low volume of alerts, which is highly valuable for our operations.

Featured Reviews

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.
Pietro Villivà - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture
The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.
