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.
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.
Santiago Gomez - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved the organization's PCI compliance with data loss prevention
I use the solution on a Macintosh computer and it has issues and does not work when I try to log in from the Safari Browser, but it works fine when I log in from the Google Chrome browser. The console has issues when the login is done through a Safari Browser. The console has to be more competitive and the compatibility of the browser needs to be better. I want to know about Skyhigh's competitiveness with other brands and about the vulnerability assessment and micro segmentations. I know Skyhigh has other products, but right now, I am studying what this new product is about. They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"The most valuable feature of PingSafe is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security provides us with better security detection and more visibility. It is another resource that we can use to detect vulnerabilities in our company's systems. For example, it can help us detect new file processes that we are not familiar with, which could be used by attackers to exploit our systems. Singularity Cloud Workload Security can also help us diagnose and analyze data to determine whether it is malicious or not. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is like another pair of eyes that can help us protect our systems from cyberattacks."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has significantly improved our risk posture."
"I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"In terms of their compatibility with major cloud providers, in terms of their abilities, capabilities, and features, they exceed everyone's capabilities in the CASB market."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"The risk rating of each cloud application has been very useful. Whenever we discover a new application is use, we are able to quickly determine if this application is safe to use and whether or not we should allow our end users to be able to access it."
"Box API features with DLP capabilities."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"User analytics."
"A stable solution with good support."
"The solution performs well."
 

Cons

"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"While PingSafe offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"If something happens in our infrastructure, the alert appears on the dashboard, but I have to log in to the dashboard and refresh it. I would prefer it to provide better alerting and notifications so that I can resolve issues on priority."
"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."
"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"The tool could give us more templates so that people who are not updated with the platform can easily get acquainted with how to secure and utilize the product more."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."
"I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy."
"User interface could be more intuitive."
"Skyhigh Security, as a product, is excellent, but in terms of the right services and support, those are lagging very much, for example, in Trellix. From one hundred, its score has gone down to ten, so ten out of one hundred, otherwise, it's the number one product."
"Needs integration with other technology ecosystems."
"McAfee Web Gateway could improve the reporting. We have the reporting on a separate server and sometimes the database becomes full. These aspects could improve."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support."
"Skyhigh Security is complex to manage. While it should ideally be more user-friendly, customers often find themselves having to manage it post-deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"It's an expensive product"
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"Its price is moderate."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"The tool is not expensive."
"This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations."
"Pricing is not out of reach."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
"The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations."
"Commercially, I find Skyhigh Security a little costlier, compared to other products such as SentinelOne or Cybereason which are really novelty products. I'm not comparing Skyhigh Security with Trend Micro, but with other products, in particular the new, next-generation products. The price for Skyhigh Security is high in terms of value and ROI. I would rate the product price combined with product efficacy a six out of ten."
"The solution's hardware is expensive."
