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.
Mohammad Qaw - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"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 liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"The first aspect that is important is the fact that Prisma Cloud is cloud-agnostic. It's actually available for the five top cloud providers: AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, and Alibaba Cloud. The second aspect is the fact that we can write our own rules to try to detect misconfigurations in those environments."
"The initial setup is seamless."
"It helps to identify the misconfigurations by monitoring regularly which helps to secure the organization's cloud environment."
"It also provides us with a single tool to manage our entire cloud architecture. In fact, we are using a multi-account strategy with our AWS organization. We use Prisma as a single source of truth to identify high- or medium-severity threats inside our organization."
"Visibility and control are the most utilized features. A dashboard is available to us where we can view different categories. We can see any IAM-related risks, any discovered vulnerabilities, any incidents, or any network-level issues."
"We haven't had an issue with the product for over a year."
"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."
"It provides insights into potential vulnerabilities in our code, helping us identify and rectify issues before they can be exploited."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"Technical support is good."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"There are compliance issues for legacy applications and after applying OS security patches. The product's HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) modules do the job for you automatically, without any downtime."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
 

Cons

"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"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."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"To see the full picture, at least when I last used it in April or May, you needed to switch between the modules. To see the cloud infrastructure and pipeline configuration, you need to switch to that module. To see the code security part, you need to switch to the Code Security module. It is the same story with CSPM. Two competitors of Prisma Cloud do it in a better way. They show the full view of a risk. Prisma Cloud unfortunately lacks in that area, but they are catching up."
"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 information presented in the UI sometimes doesn't look intuitive enough."
"In terms of securing cloud-native development at build time, a lot of improvement is needed. Currently, it's more a runtime solution than a build-time solution. For runtime, I would rate it at seven out of 10, but for build-time there is a lot of work to be done."
"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."
"There are hundreds of built-in policies for AWS and Azure, but GCP and Oracle are not covered as much as AWS. There is a lot of work to do on that part. There is, obviously, a tiny bit of favoritism towards AWS because it has the most market share."
"The user interface should be improved and made easier."
"The area for improvement is less about the product and more about the upsell. If we've already agreed that we'd like your product x, y, or z, don't try to add fries to my burger. I don't need it."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"The cost is very high."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."
"Prisma Cloud is more expensive than Check Point CloudGuard."
"The licensing cost is a bit high on the compute side."
"Almost all the CSPM tools are pretty expensive."
"Our licensing fees are $18,000 USD per year."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a highly expensive solution."
"Prisma Cloud is affordable."
"Prisma Cloud is a value-back cloud-managed solution; cloud-native solutions are quite expensive."
"The price for Prisma Cloud is reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
