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.

Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point. It is easy to consolidate Snyk across multiple entities within a large organization. Additionally, our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."
"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."
"Singularity Cloud Security offers autonomous response capabilities, automatically remediating threats and restoring affected files without manual intervention."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"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."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten."
"It is easy for developers to use. The documentation is clear as well as the APIs are good and easily readable. It's a good solution overall."
"Snyk categorizes the level of vulnerability into high, medium, and low, which helps organizations prioritize which issues to tackle first."
"I am impressed with the product's security vulnerability detection. My peers in security are praising the tool for its accuracy to detect security vulnerabilities. The product is very easy to onboard. It doesn't require a lot of preparation or prerequisites. It's a bit of a plug-and-play as long as you're using a package manager or for example, you are using a GitHub repository. And that is an advantage for this tool because developers don't want to add more tools to what they're currently using."
"It's very easy for developers to use. Onboarding was an easy process for all of the developers within the company. After a quick, half-an-hour to an hour session, they were fully using it on their own. It's very straightforward. Usability is definitely a 10 out of 10."
"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"The solution's vulnerability database, in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy, is very high-level. As far as I know, it's the best among their competitors."
"Snyk's focus on security is a valuable feature. Also Snyk supports multiple programming languages, which has positively affected my security practices. I use only two or three languages, and when I change the language in a file, it detects it in the same suite. I find the AI-powered scanning overall beneficial.Using Snyk's AI-powered scanning, I can detect around ten or twenty errors in my project with about twenty thousand lines of code, so it helps improve my project by identifying a lot of potential vulnerabilities."
"The advantage of Snyk is that Snyk automatically creates a pull request for all the findings that match or are classified according to the policy that we create. So, once we review the PR within Snyk and we approve the PR, Snyk auto-fixes the issue, which is quite interesting and which isn't there in any other product out there. So, Snyk is a step ahead in this particular area."
 

Cons

"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
"Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security could be improved with easier integrations to the Singularity Data Lake, particularly for various vendors."
"We don't get any notifications from PingSafe when the clusters are down."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"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."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"I use Snyk alongside Sonar, and Snyk tends to generate a lot of false positives. Improving the overall report quality and reducing false positives would be beneficial. I don't need additional features; just improving the existing ones would be enough."
"Generating reports and visibility through reports are definitely things they can do better."
"We tried to integrate it into our software development environment but it went really badly. It took a lot of time and prevented the developers from using the IDE. Eventually, we didn't use it in the development area... I would like to see better integrations to help the developers get along better with the tool. And the plugin for the IDE is not so good. This is something we would like to have..."
"The feature for automatic fixing of security breaches could be improved."
"Snyk's API and UI features could work better in terms of speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"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 very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It's an expensive product"
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"The price is good. Snyk had a good price compared to the competition, who had higher pricing than them. Also, their licensing and billing are clear."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."
"The price of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Pricing-wise, it is not expensive as compared to other tools. If you have a couple of licenses, you can scan a certain number of projects. It just needs to be attached to them."
"The product's price is okay."
"I didn't think the price was that great, but it wasn't that bad, either. I'd rate their pricing as average in the market."
