Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.9
SentinelOne enhances vulnerability management, boosts productivity, reduces costs, and improves detection for a 25-30% ROI.
Sentiment score
6.9
Lacework FortiCNAPP enhances ROI by automating monitoring, integrating with Jira, reducing personnel needs, and improving security management.
Sentiment score
7.6
Wiz improved asset management, simplified security tools, reduced costs, enhanced cloud monitoring, and boosted proactive security measures.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
Therefore, it is important to be proactive rather than reactive, which will bring a return on the investment.
Compliance is much easier as we can now get in-depth monitoring of controls from an ISO or software perspective.
We have seen ROI from Wiz and we continued to see value in Wiz.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.6
SentinelOne's Cloud Security support is praised for expertise and reliability, despite occasional slow responses and varied agent quality.
Sentiment score
7.8
Lacework FortiCNAPP's customer service is valued for proactive communication, Slack integration, and reliable technical support despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
7.5
Wiz support is highly rated for responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, and effective communication, despite initial contact and resolution time challenges.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
We can always reach our account representative when we have a problem or need to speak with technical staff to clarify things.
It is some of the best post-sales support ever received.
They recently changed to Zendesk, which has been so much better.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly scalable and flexible, efficiently managing environments without server concerns, rated highly by users.
Sentiment score
8.0
Lacework FortiCNAPP is praised for scalability, adaptable across various environments, with minor licensing challenges noted by users.
Sentiment score
8.0
Wiz is praised for its scalable SaaS capabilities, adapting automatically to various demands, with minor cost management challenges.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
This solution is very scalable; if I add resources to new accounts, they are automatically monitored.
We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is reliable with high ratings, minor issues, and effective AWS interoperability, outperforming previous solutions.
Sentiment score
7.4
Lacework FortiCNAPP demonstrates stable performance with minimal issues and rare non-disruptive delays, fostering user confidence in its capabilities.
Sentiment score
8.1
Wiz is mostly stable, with resolved issues and high user satisfaction, despite minor login and alert discrepancies during implementation.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
We have not encountered any issues with Wiz since I have been here, and it remained stable with no downtime or changes required.
We've only had downtime from maintenance and updates, and they notify us in advance, so we aren't impacted.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne needs better search, cost management, enhanced firewall, improved logging, third-party integration, and legacy system compatibility.
Lacework FortiCNAPP enhancements focus on visibility, IAM controls, usability, integration, and granularity in alert management and reporting.
Wiz needs enhanced remediation, logging, executive reporting, customizable dashboards, integration, cost efficiency, and improved network visibility.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.
Wiz is the first vendor I've worked with that has turnaround feature requests in less than a month.
We are trying to figure out how to increase the frequency of the scans, as some universities do not wait a day before they know if something is exposed.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers flexible pricing, perceived affordable for enterprises but potentially costly for smaller businesses.
Lacework FortiCNAPP offers stable, competitive pricing, starting at $80,000 annually, with a unique, refined licensing structure.
Wiz's pricing evolves with feature-based tiers, offering value in security but raises concerns about cost and transparency.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
Early adopters got an excellent deal, but it became pricey when they became the market leader.
There is room for improvement on our pricing models, so it would be nice if Wiz could share the price beforehand rather than onboarding and then having pricing based on utilization.
We got results with Wiz immediately; we installed it and met our goal during the four-week trial.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security enhances efficiency with real-time threat detection, AI-driven responses, and seamless third-party integration for organizations.
Lacework FortiCNAPP excels with ease of use, machine learning anomaly detection, compliance reports, and seamless multi-cloud security integration.
Wiz offers risk prioritization, contextual visibility, and agentless scanning to enhance vulnerability management, efficiency, and remediation strategies.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.
It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents.
Leveraging this technology saves us not only precious engineering time but also money developing and investing in other overlapping solutions.
The ability to scan every layer without agents is a huge selling point because we're multi-agent.

Featured Reviews

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.
Carlos Vitrano - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides quick visibility and significantly reduces alerts
Its integrations with third-party SIEMs can be better. That is one of the things that we discussed with them. We have integrations, for instance, with Splunk. The data that we are receiving in Splunk is huge, and it is valid because Lacework has a bunch of data that they can provide to you. However, to be able to import the data and create alerts, we needed to do some work, so integration is one of the things that they can improve. For container security, how they scan images and how they provide results is something that they need to continue improving in terms of visibility. We already have visibility to several artifacts, but they can take that to the next level and see what else they can do. There can be better integrations with CI/CD pipelines. There can be improvements in terms of how we can take action or how we can report from the number of inventories they are providing to us.
Pietro Villivà - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture
The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.
