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.

Helps with Zero-day protection
We use the solution for Zero-day protection.  The solution stops any kind of remote code execution.  The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load.  I have been using the product for a year.  I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten.  I would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."
"The cooperative nature of SentinelOne has influenced our decision not to shift."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable scalability suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"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."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity. Desktop features might be useful for smaller organizations with less complex security needs."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"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."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"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."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"It's an expensive product"
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
