Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.0
GitHub provides efficient code management, cost benefits, secure code, and organizational advantages, enhancing market delivery and user experience.
Sentiment score
8.0
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security boosts efficiency by improving visibility, reducing costs, and decreasing time for threat detection and resolution.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
Users primarily rely on community resources for support, but some desire quicker access to GitHub's technical support.
Sentiment score
7.8
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's customer support is highly rated for responsiveness and effective issue resolution, ensuring smooth collaboration.
The technical support from GitHub is generally good, and they communicate effectively.
Some forums help you get answers faster since you just type in your concern and see resolutions from other engineers.
I have not used GitHub's technical support extensively because there are many resources and a robust knowledge base available due to the large user community.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
GitHub efficiently supports global teams with scalable, cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring performance and stability for diverse user and project sizes.
Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security excels in scalability, smoothly integrating accounts and auto-scaling, despite separate account management challenges.
We have never had a problem with scalability, so I would rate it at least eight to nine.
GitHub is more scalable than on-prem solutions, allowing for cloud-based scaling which is beneficial for processing large workloads efficiently.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.7
GitHub is stable, supports over 1,000 users effectively, with transparency and reliable updates appreciated, despite minor issues.
Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly stable but experiences minor UI glitches and occasional agent-related issues.
If a skilled developer uses it, it is ten out of ten for stability.
It provides a reliable environment for code management.
GitHub is mostly stable, but there can be occasional hiccups.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Room For Improvement

GitHub needs improved security, integration, AI enhancements, UI/UX, search, docs, automation, and support for better user experience.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud needs enhanced features, stability, better reporting, integration, and support for improved user experience and efficiency.
One area for improvement in GitHub could be integration with other tools, such as test management or project management tools.
I would like to see some AI functionality included in GitHub, similar to the features seen in GitLab, to enhance productivity.
When solving merge conflicts, it would be helpful to have tooltips within the actions to know what changes could happen next when resolving a conflict.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
 

Setup Cost

GitHub provides cost-effective subscription options with a free basic version, ideal for public use, and competitive pricing for enterprises.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud offers competitive pricing and value, with flexibility and discounts available, though costly for large deployments.
Normally, GitHub is not expensive, but it would be welcome if it reduces costs for developing countries.
The pricing of GitHub is reasonable, with the cost being around seven dollars per user per month for private repositories.
The pricing of GitHub depends on the choice of solutions, such as building one's own GitHub Runners to save money or using GitHub's Runners with extra costs.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
 

Valuable Features

GitHub offers robust community support, security, version control, integration with DevOps tools, and flexibility for distributed teams.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud's ease, AI detection, and seamless integration enhance IT efficiency, risk management, and forensic visibility.
The pull request facility for code review.
GitHub Actions allow for creating multiple jobs that run in different stages such as build, test, and deploy, which enable better visibility and control over the deployment pipeline.
For branching, it works well, especially in an agile environment.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.

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.
