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.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"The UI is very good."
"The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"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."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"One of the great features of Trivy is that it helps me scan items such as AWS credentials and GCP service accounts."
"I appreciate Trivy for being open-source and not requiring any payment."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"I definitely recommend Trivy."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
 

Cons

"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."
"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"If something happens in our infrastructure, the alert appears on the dashboard, but I have to log in to the dashboard and refresh it. I would prefer it to provide better alerting and notifications so that I can resolve issues on priority."
"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security."
"While PingSafe offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."
"PingSafe is affordable."
