Very good for collaboration on software projects
We use GitHub for code repository alongside Bitbucket GitHub is very good for collaboration on software projects. We prefer Bitbucket for commercial use, while GitHub is used for open source. You can get the differences, history of changes, and version control for various pull requests. You can…
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of GitHub are the ease of integration into Microsoft Azure DevOps. The process that you need to deploy into Microsoft Azure becomes fairly simple and the templates are already available, a lot of the engineers find it easier to use."
"The most valuable features are GitHub are the standard features, they are very useful."
"The learning curve is small."
"The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes."
"The version control functionality for this solution has been most valuable, especially when managing projects with multiple versions."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it."
"GitHub provides enough storage for uploading the source code."
"The code sharing and updated history are valuable features."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers several valuable features, most notably the rapid vulnerability notifications that provide timely alerts regarding our infrastructure."
"The mean time to detect has been reduced."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is excellent, and I highly recommend it."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
 

Cons

"The storage for this solution could be improved."
"GitHub storage is one of the main requirements and it could improve."
"We face issues with synchronization while working with teams."
"It would be better if the amount of storage were increased."
"I faced one or two breakdowns. That said, they lasted only for a few seconds or a minute."
"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."
"Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."
"Their search feature could be better."
"PingSafe is an excellent CSPM tool, but the CWPP features need to improve, and there is a scope for more application security posture management features. There aren't many ASPM solutions on the market, and existing ones are costly. I would like to see PingSafe develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection."
"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."
"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitHub is a cost-effective solution."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"Regarding pricing, I'd rate it eight out of ten. It's decent and not too expensive, and small businesses can also afford it. With AWS taking CodeCommit out of the market, I don't see many competitors for small companies in terms of GitHub."
"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"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."
"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
