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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."

"PingSafe can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."

"The key strength of Singularity Cloud Security lies in its ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in our cloud accounts and identify suspicious activity that warrants further investigation."

"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."

"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."

"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts."

"PingSafe offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."

"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The ability to monitor the artifact repository is one of the most valuable features because we have a disparate set of development processes, but everything tends to land in a common set of artifact repositories. The solution gives us a single point where we can apply security control for monitoring. That's really helpful."

"The CVEs are valuable because we used to have a tool to scan CVEs, at the language level, for the dependencies that our developers had. What is good about Prisma Cloud is that the CVEs are not only from the software layer, but from all layers: the language, the base image, and you also have CVEs from the host. It covers the full base of security."

"Syslog CLIs are the best feature."

"I like the scanning features provided by Prisma Cloud, including the image scan and source scan."

"Prisma Cloud helped us with compliance. Most of my deployments have been greenfield, so I don't have a benchmark to compare how the security posture has improved. I've always used this from day zero of the configuration. However, I can say that the compliance checks for PCI, DSS, HIPAA, etc., made my life simpler. I don't need to look at each of these standards and compare the rules I have in place."

"Prisma Cloud's most important feature is its auto-remediation."

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

"Prisma Cloud offers robust runtime scanning capabilities, which is beneficial for security teams."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Improves creation of security alerts on web proxy logs by having a separate system interpret said logs."

"Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs."

"They were very, very aggressive in the market to get a new market share or to take over market share while other companies were being broken up."

"I like the encrypted disk feature and the endpoint protection."

"The stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product."

"The solution performs well."

"Skyhigh offers solutions like WLP and CASB. These tools provide instructions and guidelines for enhancing data security. Additionally, they offer additional software solutions for further protection."

"The feature I found most valuable is the API."

More Skyhigh Security pros

Cons

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

"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."

"We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in PingSafe."

"PingSafe filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."

"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."

"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want PingSafe to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."

"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."

"Their search feature could be better."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The innovation side of the solution could be more efficient and more detailed."

"The user interface should be improved and made easier."

"There is room for improvement on the logging and monitoring front because it's still not as holistic as I would want it to be."

"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."

"The Palo Alto support needs to improve."

"They can improve the integrations into the SDLC lifecycle."

"The pricing for the solution needs improvement."

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

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks cons

"User interface could be more intuitive."

"The feature that we would like to have is a hybrid environment, including both cloud and on-premises."

"The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation."

"The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable."

"The virtual solution requires improvement."

"Skyhigh Security, as a product, is excellent, but in terms of the right services and support, those are lagging very much, for example, in Trellix. From one hundred, its score has gone down to ten, so ten out of one hundred, otherwise, it's the number one product."

"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."

"One area for improvement I've seen in Skyhigh Security is that it lacks support for unsanctioned applications, where customers have their applications. Those applications do not come from Microsoft or other popular vendors. For example, Microsoft has support for Teams and it has support for OneDrive, but it doesn't have support for custom applications built by customers. Customers have internal teams building and publishing applications to the external world, but Skyhigh Security doesn't have support for those applications, and this is the main problem I've seen. The solution only supports a pool of applications that are from Microsoft and other major SaaS vendors. McAfee doesn't provide support for custom applications, compared to other vendors who provide it. For example, Bitglass and Netskope both have support for custom applications. Another area for improvement in Skyhigh Security is that its API support is a little weak. I also have not seen a strong integration between the solution and other McAfee products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."

"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."

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

"It was reasonable pricing for me."

"It is cheap."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"It is an expensive tool. It is not cheap technology. It is a serious investment for any customer. Customers typically buy it together with services. In my experience, customers buying Prisma Cloud are prepared to pay for the implementation and the tool itself."

"The licensing cost is a bit high on the compute side."

"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's licensing system functions as expected with a solid licensing infrastructure."

"Almost all the CSPM tools are pretty expensive."

"I don't know a better way to do it, but their licensing is a little confusing. That's due to the breadth of different types of technologies they are trying to cover. The way you license depends on where you're securing. When they were Twistlock it was a simple licensing scheme and you could tell what you were doing. Now that they've changed that scheme with Palo Alto, it is quite confusing. It's very difficult to predict what your costs are going to be as you try to expand coverage."

"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 Prisma Cloud pricing is good."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution's hardware is expensive."

"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."

"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."

"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."

"Commercially, I find Skyhigh Security a little costlier, compared to other products such as SentinelOne or Cybereason which are really novelty products. I'm not comparing Skyhigh Security with Trend Micro, but with other products, in particular the new, next-generation products. The price for Skyhigh Security is high in terms of value and ROI. I would rate the product price combined with product efficacy a six out of ten."

"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."

"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."

"This is an expensive product, but you have to compare that with other solutions that are on the market."

Reviews from Real Users

Prisma Cloud stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its integration capabilities, as well as its visibility, which makes it very easy for users to get a full picture of the cloud environment.

Alex J., an information security manager at Cobalt.io, writes, “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.”

Luke L., a cloud security specialist for a financial services firm, writes, “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.”
