Improvements to our security infrastructure contributed to overall business growth of approximately 150 percent over the past year.
By automating tasks, it significantly reduces the human resources required, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.
It has reduced the number of development and scripting hours along with maintenance hours.

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.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.6
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's support is praised for efficiency and expertise, despite occasional delays post-leadership changes.
The support team was knowledgeable and offered a variety of quick resolution options.
Their SMEs have sufficient knowledge, and if they are not the right contact, they quickly redirect us to someone who can help resolve issues.
I would rate their customer support a ten out of ten.
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.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
9.2
Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management seamlessly scales, efficiently managing large deployments, adapting to diverse environments, and integrating with expanding operations.
Sentiment score
8.9
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides easy scalability and integration, supporting diverse environments and seamless organizational growth.
We have about 300,000 assets installed with agents worldwide.
Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management has proven to be a highly scalable solution for us over the past couple of years.
Qualys CSAM is highly scalable.
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.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is highly reliable, with minor syncing issues and users rating stability between six and ten.
Sentiment score
7.8
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is reliable with high stability ratings, despite minor issues like occasional lag.
I would rate the stability of Qualys CSAM a ten out of ten.
They are constantly adding capabilities.
This platform demonstrates excellent stability with consistent 100 percent uptime and no glitches observed.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Room For Improvement

Qualys needs better CMDB integration, UI improvements, efficient scans, error fixes, tool integration, and independence from vendor changes.
Users suggest SentinelOne needs enhanced features, improved UI, faster support, better compatibility, and optimized reporting and integration.
Qualys is currently not able to identify assets lacking DNS information.
We would prefer more options, such as 'approved only for pilot' or 'approved for this line of business,' allowing for better granularity in categorizing software.
The reporting feature could offer more customizable templates and easier-to-digest visualizations.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management is cost-effective for large enterprises but potentially expensive for smaller organizations needing flexible packages.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers competitive, flexible pricing with discounts, though some users find it costlier than alternatives.
A monthly subscription starting at approximately $72 per month, depending on the specific package and features included.
Though the solution is considered expensive, if bundled with other services such as VMDR or cloud agents, its value would significantly increase.
The Qualys Cybersecurity Asset Management pricing is well-aligned with our usage.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management enhances security by providing comprehensive asset visibility, vulnerability scanning, and integration with other platforms.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud offers user-friendly AI-driven security with efficient detection, remediation, and seamless platform integration.
By correlating this with QDS scores, we can accurately assess the risk level of high or low QDS scores associated with each asset and monitor them accordingly.
The most valuable feature is the real-time visibility Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management provides into all assets across our development and operational environments.
It also performs scans to identify any vulnerabilities, which helps to take proactive measures before those vulnerabilities are identified by any attacker.
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.

Featured Reviews

Ramachandran Sugumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped discover about 10,000 vulnerabilities so far
We recently had some issues related to the continuous monitoring of the SaaS module. I am working with someone from the Qualys support team. He is helping us to resolve all the issues. One request is still open with the team because the risk scan was not happening at the application level. We opened a ticket and requested them to schedule a call. It might happen next week. The support provided by Qualys is good. Their SMEs have sufficient knowledge, and if they are not the right contact, they quickly redirect us to someone who can help resolve issues. The only minor issue is occasionally being redirected to multiple teams, causing slight delays. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.
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.
