Helps prioritize and solve issues, and provides good visibility into the threat landscape

They can provide some kind of alert when a new type of risk is there. There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified. We use Jira for pushing any changes. If any kind of integration is possible between Jira and the Singularity Cloud Native Security dashboard, it will be easier for us to track. Before approving in Jira, I can ensure that any issues in Singularity Cloud Native Security are closed. Such an integration will be helpful. Its pricing model is a little bit inflexible. Different organizations have different structures. We have multiple business units. Based on the different verticals, we have to create different subscriptions for them. If I create a new subscription and add it to Singularity Cloud Native Security, as per the current licensing model, I have to pay more for that. It should not be like that. It should be based on the number of servers. This kind of flexibility would help customers like us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."

"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."

"The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature."

"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."

"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."

"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."

"The visibility is the best part of the solution."

"PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."

"Good reporting functionalities."

"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."

"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."

"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."

"The security alerts and correlated alerts are most valuable. It correlates the logs and gives us correlated alerts, which can be fed into any security information and event management (SIEM) tool. It is an analyzed correlation tool for monitoring security. It gives us alerts when there is any kind of unauthorized access, or when there is any malfunctioning in multifactor authentication (MFA). If our Azure is connected with Azure Security Center, we get to know what types of authentication are happening in our infra."

"Everything is built into Azure, and if we go for cross-cloud development with Azure Arc, we can use most of the features. While it's possible to deploy and convert third-party applications, it is difficult to maintain, whereas Azure deployments to the cloud are always easier. Also, Microsoft is a big company, so they always provide enough support, and we trust the Microsoft brand."

"It helps you to identify the gaps in your solution and remediate them. It produces a compliance checklist against known standards such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, iTrust, etc."

"The security policy is the most valuable feature for us. We can go into the environment settings and attach any globally recognized framework like ISO or any benchmark."

"The technical support is very good."

"It offers virus management and addresses threats such as viruses, worms, spyware, and other critical security concerns."

"DSPM is the most valuable feature."

"It's got a lot of great features."

More Microsoft Defender for Cloud pros

Cons

"It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."

"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."

"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."

"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."

"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."

"When we get a new finding from PingSafe, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the PingSafe platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."

"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."

"They need more experienced support personnel."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."

"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."

"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."

"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."

"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."

"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."

"Most of the time, when we log into the support, we don't get a chance to interact with Microsoft employees directly, except having it go to outsource employees of Microsoft. The initial interaction has not been that great because outsourced companies cannot provide the kind of quality or technical expertise that we look for. We have a technical manager from Microsoft, but they are kind of average unless we make noise and ask them to escalate. We then can get the right people and the right solution, but it definitely takes time."

"I would suggest building a single product that addresses endpoint server protection, attack surface, and everything else in one solution. That is the main disadvantage with the product. If we are incorporating some features, we end up in a situation where this solution is for the server, and that one is for the client, or this is for identity, and that is for our application. They're not bundling it. Commercially, we can charge for different licenses, but on the implementation side, it's tough to help our end-customer understand which product they're getting."

"One of the main challenges that we have been facing with Azure Security Center is the cost. The costs are really a complex calculation, e.g., to calculate the monthly costs. Azure is calculating on an hourly basis for use of the resource. Because of this, we found it really complex to promote what will be our costs for the next couple of months. I think if Azure could reduce the complex calculation and come up with straightforward cost mapping that would be very useful from a product point of view."

"As an analyst, there is no way to configure or create a playbook to automate the process of flagging suspicious domains."

"Sometimes, it's very difficult to determine when I need Microsoft Defender for Cloud for a special resource group or certain kinds of products. That's not an issue directly with the product, though."

"The documentation could be much clearer."

"Most customer teams need more training on this type of product."

"Pricing could be improved. There are limited options based on pricing for the government."

More Microsoft Defender for Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."

"It is cheap."

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."

"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."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"There is a helpful cost-reducing option that allows you to integrate production subscriptions with non-production subscriptions."

"The pricing is very difficult because every type of Defender for Cloud has its own metrics and pricing. If you have Cloud for Key Vault, the pricing is different than it is for storage. Every type has its own pricing list and rules."

"This solution is more cost-effective than some competing products. My understanding is that it is based on the number of integrations that you have, so if you have fewer subscriptions then you pay less for the service."

"Its pricing is a little bit high in terms of Azure Security Center, but the good thing is that we don't need to maintain and deploy it. So, while the pricing is high, it is native to Azure which is why we prefer using this tool."

"I rate Microsoft Defender a three out of ten for affordability. The price could be a little lower."

"Pricing depends on your workload size, but it is very cheap. If you're talking about virtual machines, it is $5 or something for each machine, which is minimal. If you go for some agent-based solution for every virtual machine, then you need to pay the same thing or more than that. For an on-premises solution like this, we were paying around $30 to $50 based on size. With Defender, Microsoft doesn't bother about the size. You pay based on the number of machines. So, if you have 10 virtual machines, and 10 virtual machines are being monitored, you are paying based on that rather than the size of the virtual machine. Thus, you are paying for the number of units rather than paying for the size of your units."

"The tool is pretty expensive."

"The licensing cost per server is $15 per month."
