SC
Information Security Engineer at DataVigilant Infotech
Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues
Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.
Bharath Nadar - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized host monitoring has reduced operational overhead and provides trusted dashboards
Sysdig Monitor could be improved, particularly regarding application monitoring. There are specific areas or features where improvement is needed, specifically in application-level monitoring. While other monitoring solutions provide APM capabilities, Sysdig Monitor does not and targets only host-based monitoring. Many applications require APM support, and we want to introduce OpenTelemetry into some applications to gain more insights, but with Sysdig Monitor, we could not implement this functionality, so we have to opt for solutions from other vendors for those applications. Beyond the APM and OpenTelemetry support limitations, I would appreciate seeing Sysdig Monitor offer a unified solution for all monitoring needs, including logging as well, eventually bringing whole observability under one roof. That would be ideal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."
"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"All the features we use are equal and get the job done."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has nearly saved us some amount, though I am not exactly sure of the numbers since the sales team handles the financial side; what we have gained from CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is that EC2 downtime has been prevented and time has been saved considerably, around eight to ten hours per week through automatic onboarding and centralized visibility."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"Sysdig Monitor has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing operational costs and improving our ability to monitor our systems effectively."
"Sysdig Monitor impressed me with its in-depth visibility into my infrastructure."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be better."
"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"From my personal experience, the alerting system needs to be faster. 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 want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSPM tool, but its CWPP features need improvement, and there is scope for more application security posture management features."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"The recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"The recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience."
"Sysdig Monitor could be improved, particularly regarding application monitoring."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
"I had difficulty installing Sysdig Monitor on Windows."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."
"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Its price is moderate."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"Sysdig Monitor is not expensive."
