Skyhigh Security efficiently manages scalability for diverse company sizes, with minor challenges but generally flexible and effective.
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.
We started our organization about nine months back. We started with about 30 users, and we now have more than 100 users.
Our organization currently uses it to manage over 1200 web applications.
It is absolutely scalable, and I would rate its scalability as nine out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly rated for stability, integrates seamlessly with AWS, and outperforms competitors.
Sentiment score
8.5

Sentiment score
7.6
Skyhigh Security is praised for its stability, speed, and reliability, with quick resolutions to occasional minor issues.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.

Overall, the support provided has been excellent.
It is a stable solution, which is why we chose it.
Continuous monitoring is crucial to ensure system stability and avoid vulnerabilities or threats.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security requires enhancements in cost, functionality, integration, UI, alerting, and user support systems.
Qualys TotalCloud needs better licensing clarity, user interface, enhanced scanning, refined classification, and improved compliance with tool integration.
Skyhigh Security faces slow performance, poor UI, limited integrations, scalability concerns, and compatibility issues, needing better training and support.
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.
Ideally, the scanner should automatically detect and scan all subdomains, even if not explicitly defined, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
Ideally, updates should be more immediate, enabling quicker implementation of solutions.
Our goal is to integrate all these functions into Qualys, creating a single dashboard for comprehensive security monitoring and management.
The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is seen as cost-effective and flexible, offering competitive pricing with value compared to competitors.
Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is competitive for enterprises but may be costly for smaller businesses despite its comprehensive features.
Skyhigh Security pricing is high, especially for Salesforce API, but offers valuable features and includes support in fees.
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.
Qualys TotalCloud's pricing is currently acceptable, it is becoming increasingly expensive.
Pricing is managed by our finance team; however, Qualys TotalCloud offers cost-effective licensing flexibility.
Qualys TotalCloud is expensive, but it offers a premier solution with no headaches.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides a unified dashboard with AI-driven threat detection and automated threat response for efficient management.
Qualys TotalCloud offers cloud security, customizable dashboards, real-time protection, and deep risk analysis through automated, user-friendly features.
Skyhigh Security excels in cloud risk detection, DLP integration, and scalability with strong security features and user-friendly interface.
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.
This view of risk helps reduce the work we would have to do to combine multiple sources to prioritize risk.
It will help cybersecurity professionals monitor the cloud and find vulnerabilities.
We are enjoying the new feature, FlexScan, which is valuable for Internet-facing VMs.
The cloud security features are the most valuable.

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.
Sushant Samantara - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us minimize attack surfaces by identifying root accounts and encryption issues
TotalCloud provides written explanations to guide remediation and eliminate cyber risks. While all cloud platforms offer security features, it's challenging to consolidate them into a single dashboard. Qualys TotalCloud effectively addresses this by consolidating multiple cloud platforms and subscriptions onto one dashboard. This allows users to quickly identify and mitigate misconfigurations and risks, simplifying security management. Before implementing TotalCloud, our compliance rate was approximately 50 to 60 percent. However, after adopting the platform, it has increased to 80 to 90 percent. TotalCloud also helps us minimize attack surfaces by identifying root accounts and encryption issues, thereby enhancing our overall security by 40 percent. TotalCloud offers a unified platform for assessing vulnerabilities and threats across both IaaS and PaaS environments. This unified view has improved our cloud security posture management. We gain a single, prioritized view of risks through TotalCloud's TruRisk Insights feature. This feature considers not only the QDA score but also factors in cost and other relevant elements to provide a comprehensive risk assessment. From a potentially overwhelming list of findings, TruRisk Insights prioritizes the most critical risks, allowing us to focus our efforts and resources on addressing these high-priority tasks efficiently. A single, prioritized view of risk streamlines the risk assessment process by eliminating the need to consolidate multiple sources. This comprehensive view is instrumental in communicating with other business customers who may be unaware of potential risks or misconfigurations within their resources. By identifying and informing them of these issues, we can guide them towards compliance and ensure a more secure environment. TruRisk Insights provides valuable findings by identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, displaying them on a dashboard, and offering deeper insights into the attack surface. It analyzes not only internet-facing devices but also those indirectly connected, providing a comprehensive understanding of potential risks. This is crucial because even devices not directly connected to the internet can be vulnerable if they have an attack surface. TruRisk Insights also offers mitigation strategies, making it a highly useful tool for managing security risks. With the VMDR feature enabled and the Qualys Agent installed on various assets, we can identify existing vulnerabilities. TruRisk Insights then calculates risk scores, prioritizes tasks, and presents the number of findings. This allows us to focus on mitigating high-priority vulnerabilities while deferring those with lower priority, ultimately reducing overall risk. TruRisk Insights provides device details, allowing for containerization of misconfigured devices. This process involves isolating problematic devices and rectifying misconfigurations, ultimately enhancing our security posture.

Has improved the organization's PCI compliance with data loss prevention
I use the solution on a Macintosh computer and it has issues and does not work when I try to log in from the Safari Browser, but it works fine when I log in from the Google Chrome browser. The console has issues when the login is done through a Safari Browser. The console has to be more competitive and the compatibility of the browser needs to be better. I want to know about Skyhigh's competitiveness with other brands and about the vulnerability assessment and micro segmentations. I know Skyhigh has other products, but right now, I am studying what this new product is about. They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.
