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

"GitHub is pure or open-source; you can access it anywhere. You can have a lot of collateral information. You can make the changes and do the reviews from one place."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away."
"Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations."
"GitHub provides enough storage for uploading the source code."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"The ease of the planning board feature in GitHub is very valuable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow it to identify and respond to threats in real time."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"The most valuable feature is the notification system, providing real-time alerts and comparisons crucial for maintaining security."
"Singularity Cloud Security offers autonomous response capabilities, automatically remediating threats and restoring affected files without manual intervention."
"PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"PingSafe provides email alerts and ranks issues based on severity, such as high, critical, etc., that help us prioritize issues."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to merge a code or restore it to an older version."
"The solution needs some more controls for deleting code."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"The initial setup requires heavy documentation which can be challenging for new developers."
"GitHub could add some more security features."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"GitHub storage is one of the main requirements and it could improve."
"The project management sector really needs some improvement for GitHub. I don't know if GitHub made sense for me as a project manager."
"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"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."
"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."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"The licensing model for GitHub is user-based. Whenever the new developer joins we have to get a new license and register their ID. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"It's cheaper than Bitbucket."
"GitHub is an open-source application. It's free to use."
"The tool offers a free program. As you go, you can upgrade from the community version to the professional one. I believe it costs about ten dollars per person, per month."
"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 was reasonable pricing for me."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
"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."
