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.

An intelligent solution that prioritizes which vulnerability to target first in your project

We could create any number of repositories, but we can create only thirty projects with JFrog Xray. If I want things to work, it has to be one project and multiple repositories that belong to different real projects. So I have a limitation of thirty projects, despite being a premium customer. JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard. Although I am able to generate reports, there is no proper dashboard where I can see the total number of vulnerabilities, the total number of license issues, and how many vulnerabilities are fixed. Second, I found the shift left approach missing with JFrog Xray. JFrog Xray has integration with IDEs, but it does not tell you about the vulnerabilities until the artifact is created. However, Snyk could directly integrate with your repository and would not allow you to build unless you fix the problem.

It gives you one console to see all of your assets, review their configurations, and build your processes

Most customers use Prisma Cloud for visibility and compliance. Prisma has so many features, but many organizations do not use them. They primarily use the visibility part to connect all their cloud accounts and hosts for visibility to see if they are missing any security controls or if they have any misconfigurations. You can connect it to cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba, etc., or to an on-prem data center. Prisma Cloud gives you so many options to automate processes related to your daily operations. When it comes to cybersecurity, you can automate things with their existing APIs. They also have out-of-the-box integrations with many solutions. I have not seen any limitations. Everything is customizable. You can do whatever you want, defining the reporting and custom use cases. They recently updated the UI, so it's much better than before.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud misconfiguration feature and Offensive Security Engine, as well as their alerting process, are valuable."

"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."

"All the features we use are equal and get the job done."

"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."

"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."

"I like CSPM the most. It captures a lot of alerts within a short period of time. When an alert gets triggered on the cloud, it throws an alert within half an hour, which is very reasonable. It is a plus point for us."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is excellent, and I highly recommend it."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

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

"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."

"Good reporting functionalities."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."

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

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

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

More JFrog Xray pros

"I like Prisma's ability to integrate with other tools. We can integrate it with Jira so that when Prisma triggers an alert, it opens a ticket in Jira. That was a big selling point for the product. There's a feature called the guest custom template that allows you to trigger alerts in Jira based on the template. That can also be added as a feature on Jira."

"As a pure-play CSPM, it is pretty good. From the data exposure perspective, Prisma Cloud does a fairly good job. Purely from the perspective of reading the conflicts, it is able to highlight any data exposures that I might be having."

"Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter."

"Prisma Cloud has enabled us to take a very strong preventive approach to cloud security. One of the hardest things with cloud is getting visibility into workloads. With Prisma Cloud, you can go in and get that visibility, then set up policies to alert on risky behavior, e.g., if there are security groups or firewall ports open up. So, it is very helpful in preventing configuration errors in the cloud by having visibility. If there are issues, then you can find them and fix them."

"We are provided with a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile compliance reports."

"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is the CSPM, which we use the most. Additionally, the investigation and alerts are useful, and the creation of queries."

"We found it to be easy and flexible. We could easily configure it for our needs, and we could spread the Prisma Cloud platform to 16 countries without encountering any kind of problem."

"I would rate Prisma Cloud a ten out of ten."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks pros

Cons

"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."

"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."

"One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to."

"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."

"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."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security could be improved with easier integrations to the Singularity Data Lake, particularly for various vendors."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

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

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

"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."

"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."

"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."

"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."

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

"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

More JFrog Xray cons

"These tools have a set of signatures or rules that will alert you whenever something meets the criteria. In the future, they might include some machine learning or AI feature that allows you to ask questions about the context of the alert, and it will provide you answers based on the data that they have. Most vendors are doing it, and I believe they will do it in the future. The reporting bar could also use AI to add context based on the environment."

"When it comes to protecting the full cloud-native stack, it has the right breadth. They're covering all the topics I would care about, like container, cloud configuration, and serverless. There's one gap. There could be a better set of features around identity management—native AWS—IAM roles, and service account management. The depth in each of those areas varies a little bit. While they may have the breadth, I think there's still work to do in flushing out each of those feature sets."

"The regional cost of Prisma Cloud in South Africa is high and could be improved."

"While the documentation continually improves, it still has limitations compared to the extensive resources available for older products like hardware firewalls, which have been around for approximately 20 years."

"The UI could use some improvement; we usually find the information we're looking for, but what fields can be clicked on and what workflow to follow to get the required information is not always evident. Sometimes we're all over the place, clicking around to drill in and uncover the alert and investigation details we're looking for."

"Getting new guys trained on using the solution requires some thought. If someone is already trained on Palo Alto then he's able to adapt quickly. But, if someone is coming from another platform such as Fortinet, or maybe he's from the system side, that is where we need some help. We need to find out if there is an online track or training that they can go to."

"We'd like to have more native integration with clouds and additional security checks in the future."

"It's not really on par with, or catering to, what other products are looking at in terms of SAST and DAST capabilities. For those, you'd probably go to the market and look at something like Veracode or WhiteHat."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."

"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."

"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."

"PingSafe is affordable."

"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."

"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."

"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's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"Almost all the CSPM tools are pretty expensive."

"If a competitor came along and said, "We'll give you half the price," that doesn't necessarily mean that's the right answer, at all. We wouldn't necessarily entertain it that way. Does it do what we need it to do? Does it work with the things that we want it to work with? That is the important part for us. Pricing wasn't the big consideration it might be in some organizations. We spend millions on public cloud. In that context, it would not make sense to worry about the small price differences that you get between the products."

"The product is very expensive, but the cost is a necessary evil; I don't know how we could have any kind of cloud presence without this type of monitoring. The pricing is calculated by module and resource usage. Ultimately, it saves us money in the amount of time we would spend uncovering what it uncovers, and we might not make the required discoveries without it anyway. Prisma offers incredible value, though I wish it were cheaper."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing and licensing are expensive compared to the other offerings that we considered."

"Prisma Cloud licensing works on credits."

"Prisma Cloud Enterprise is a costly solution. You need a license for all the components. At the same time, you have everything under one roof, so I think it's still justified."

"The price for Prisma Cloud is reasonable."
