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

"This solution is very easy to use which I like about it. The capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature. You don't have to write all your code from scratch, you can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs."
"The flexibility of this solution has been most valuable. It operates on a pay per use basis where you can ramp up or decrease usage."
"GitHub have a built-in software application development environment and this has been most useful."
"GitHub's merging feature is much better than that of other products because merging is done daily."
"The most valuable feature is the source code management. It's very helpful and it's a great product."
"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."
"During our use of GitHub, we have not encountered any problems and GitHub adds new features frequently."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"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 UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
 

Cons

"GitHub needs to improve its UI."
"I would want to see some form of code security scanning implemented."
"The merging features can be improved."
"The development team pushes the code into a repository, and the CI/CD pipeline will perform the build. We need open-source libraries to perform the builds. It would be helpful to have the ability to link to open-source libraries like npm libraries. I don't know if GitHub Actions provides this. I would like to see that in GitHub Actions if they don't."
"The solution can improve by adding video guides, official guides, or short courses that cater to beginners who are new to the system. These resources could offer step-by-step guidance on how to use GitHub, including common procedures such as pulling and committing. Currently, many of us have to resort to searching for information on how to do these tasks via Google. An official guide provided by GitHub itself would be a valuable asset to newcomers and would save them time and effort."
"The solution should have less integration with the AI part, but it needs to add features with other automation tools so that it can be easily integrated."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"SentinelOne currently lacks a break glass account feature, which is critical for implementing Single Sign-On."
"We had a glitch in PingSafe where it fed us false positives in the past."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"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."
"Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check PingSafe. The alert used to come after about three and a half hours. It used to take that long to generate the alert about the vulnerability in my system. If a hacker attacks a system and PingSafe takes three to four hours to generate an alert, it will not be beneficial for the company. It would be helpful if we get the alert in five to ten minutes."
"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"It's cheaper than Bitbucket."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"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."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"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."
"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."
"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"It is cheap."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
