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 good for collaboration because everyone can access it or we can restrict access to a few users. If I upload a file and share the URL, it's not restricted to a set number of users. Everyone with the link can download the files."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"The product has a good UI. It's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available. The two-factor authentication security is another valuable feature."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"Any complex banking can be handled very easily in GitHub. It allows us to integrate with tools like Grid, where we can merge and resolve conflicts without any hassle."
"GitHub has improved the productivity of my team by simplifying code merging and enabling effective branching strategies."
"GitHub is very straightforward. I really appreciate the versioning capabilities, ease of use, and the ability to host code."
"The code sharing and updated history are valuable features."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard that I can access without any difficulty."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"SentinelOne's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."
"The remediation process is good."
"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."
"The UI is very good."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
 

Cons

"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"The stability can be improved."
"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."
"There could be some improvements related to the automation of certain processes, especially with the integration of artificial intelligence."
"I would like to see some AI functionality included in GitHub, similar to the features seen in GitLab, to enhance productivity."
"I think it would be valuable to have more security. Some of the data is very open to everyone."
"In complex cases, we have to use the terminal for conflict resolution. If those conflicts could be resolved visually in the editor, that would be much better."
"When I was new, I faced challenges with Git commands, such as reversing or deleting mistakes."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"In addition to our telecom and Slack channels, it would be helpful to receive Cloud Native Security security notifications in Microsoft Teams."
"For vulnerabilities, they are showing CVE ID. The naming convention should be better so that it indicates the container where a vulnerability is present. Currently, they are only showing CVE ID, but the same CVE ID might be present in multiple containers. We would like to have the container name so that we can easily fix the issue."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security could be improved with easier integrations to the Singularity Data Lake, particularly for various vendors."
"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."
"I would like PingSafe's detections to be openly available online instead of only accessible through their portal. Other tools have detections that are openly available without going through the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"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."
"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"PingSafe is affordable."
