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.

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.

Offers easy management and container connection with HTTPS, but the support needs to improve

I have experience with the solution's setup in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and our company has assisted in the development of a cluster in a research department, but we didn't start from scratch because we have IT professionals who have installed Kubernetes across 12 nodes of a cluster and a new environment can be created for a new platform. I also had another setup experience of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes in Portugal where I had to implement the solution in a cluster of 22 computer servers, which was completed with assistance from the IT department of the company. The initial setup process of the solution can be considered as difficult. The setup process involves using the permissions, subnets and range of IPs, which makes it complex. Deploying Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes takes around eight to ten hours for new clusters. The solution's deployment can be divided into three parts. The first part involves OpenStack, where the cluster's resources need to be identified. The second part involves virtualizing assets and identifying other physical assets, for which OpenStack, Kubernetes, or OpenShift are used. The third part of the deployment involves dividing the networks into subnetworks and implementing automation to deploy the microservices using Helm. The number of professionals required for the solution's deployment depends upon the presence of automated scripts. Ideally, two or three professionals are required to set up Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes.

"It saves time, makes your environment more secure, and improves compliance. PingSafe helps with audits, ensuring that you are following best practices for cloud security. You don't need to be an expert to use it and improve your security."

"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"You can also integrate with Amazon Managed Services. You can also get a snapshot in time, whether that's over a 24-hour period, seven days, or a month, to determine what the estate might look like at a certain point in time and generate reports from that for vulnerability management forums."

"Prisma Cloud also provides the visibility and control you need, regardless of how complex or distributed your cloud environments become. It helps to simplify that complexity. Now we know what the best practices are, and if something is missing we know."

"Palo Alto enables us to know what security threats are happening in the background."

"In the GlobalProtect module, we can easily guide users experiencing connection issues through the notification column."

"It provides good visibility and control regardless of the complexity."

"The solution will streamline and minimize manual efforts."

"CSPM is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud is WAF (web application firewall)."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is easy to install and manage."

"Offers easy management with authentication and authorization features"

"One of the most valuable features I found was the ability of this solution to map the network and show you the communication between your containers and your different nodes."

"The benefit of working with the solution is the fact that it's very straightforward...It is a perfectly stable product since the details are very accurate."

"The technical support is good."

More Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes pros

Cons

"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."

"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."

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

"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."

"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."

"We don't get any notifications from PingSafe when the clusters are down."

"Their search feature could be better."

"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 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."

"One of the main backlogs in their development is in the area of integration. For example, we have ServiceNow in place for ticket management and Prisma Cloud is supposed to send closure emails for incidents. But from time to time, it fails to do so. We have several other mismatches between Prisma Cloud and ServiceNow."

"They need to improve the API gateway."

"Though Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks provides excellent security, is a pioneer in this space, and knows what it's doing, from a user perspective, it would have been better if it was a little easier to use."

"Sometimes we do get false alerts. That should be improved."

"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."

"Sometimes, on the Azure side, there are issues. Some errors aren't being found on Prisma Cloud."

"There needs to be a mechanism that allows me to manually configure compliance more easily."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The testing process could be improved."

"The solution's price could be better."

"The support and specifications need to be up to date for the cluster technologies"

"The solution's visibility and vulnerability prevention should be improved."

"I do see that some features associated with the IAST part are not included in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."

"The deprecation of APIs is a concern since the deprecation of APIs will cause issues for us every time we upgrade."

"The tool's command line and configuration are hard for us to understand and make deployment complex. It should also include zero trust, access control features and database connectivity."

"They're trying to convert it to the platform as a source. They are moving in the direction of Cloud Foundry so it can be easier for a developer to deploy it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."

"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 features included in PingSafe justify its price point."

"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."

"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."

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

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."

"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The price is high. In the future, when there are more competitors at the same level with different clouds, maybe the position will be different."

"It is fairly priced. However, its price can be better so that small banks or small organizations can afford it and adopt it to secure their environment and data."

"The price for Prisma Cloud is reasonable."

"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a highly expensive solution."

"This solution is good for a company with at least 400 people that must be connected remotely. For smaller companies, it can be too expensive."

"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."

"Prisma Cloud is a value-back cloud-managed solution; cloud-native solutions are quite expensive."

"We are encountering some resistance in the African market regarding the cost of Prisma Cloud."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It's a costly solution"

"The price of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes is better than Palo Alto Prisma."
