Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues
Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Prioritized cloud risks have transformed our small team and focus now shifts to weaponizable threats
The best features Skyhawk Security offers are the ability to prioritize your work, especially when you have limited staff, and ensure that you address the most important issues first and with urgency. A security team is usually very thin-spread and doesn't have a lot of resources to solve issues. Skyhawk allows me to prioritize those based on the actual probability of a vulnerability being exploited. Skyhawk Security helps me prioritize through the dashboards. They have a dashboard that shows me the amount of vulnerabilities that I have. From those vulnerabilities, it lists out the ones that are exploitable. From the ones that are exploitable, it shows me the ones that are weaponizable and how they are weaponizable. From there, it shows me the ones that are weaponizable and have the ability to impact my Crown Jewels. Skyhawk Security has positively impacted my organization because we are a small security team, and Skyhawk Security allows us to prioritize our work. We are better at what we do, and it doesn't take more people to do more important work. With the limited staff that we have, we are able to address the things that pose the highest risk to us first, rather than take all the critical vulnerabilities and address them one by one without any type of prioritization. Our outcomes since using Skyhawk Security changed because we went down from thousands of vulnerabilities that we needed to review and address to a prioritized list that includes a handful of vulnerabilities that we needed to fix because they were the most urgent. We then have a work plan to address all the others. From a focus perspective, it improved the focus of my team, and it improved the efficiency and effectiveness of my team because we are now addressing the most urgent issues first.

Secure access has improved remote work and has reduced vulnerabilities across our workforce
Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform probably needs to be more efficient because scanning takes a lot of time. Some vulnerabilities create issues, and when we wanted to identify the source of the vulnerabilities, specifically focusing on mobile ID and related areas, it was unable to provide assistance. However, according to discussions with Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform, they said that by the end of mid-2026, they are exploring these features, and probably those features can be incorporated or embedded into this particular system. That is the only major negative point.In terms of responses, Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform is good. In terms of controlling vulnerability, it is good. The only cons I have noticed is that it is a bit slower, and sometimes it is unable to identify the source. These are the key areas for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"The SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has substantially affected my risk posture, as it was the first tool that notified me of the public exposure of a repository by a developer, allowing me to resolve the issue within minutes."
"The visibility SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."
"The compliance monitoring feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security gives us a report with a compliance score to ensure we meet certain regulatory standards."
"The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"The initial setup process is easy and intuitive."
"It helps us in reaching the ISO27001 certification."
"Skyhawk Security has positively impacted my organization because we are a small security team, and Skyhawk Security allows us to prioritize our work."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"
"The product's most valuable features are cloud-based services and secure internet access. We don't have to set up any physical appliances."

"Overall, the solution does a pretty good job at web filtering."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The platform offers advanced threat protection features and embedded AI/ML capabilities, making it more proactive in blocking threats."
 

Cons

"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."
"In the Analytics section, there is a tab for showing the severity of open issues by day. There are three options: by week, by month, and for more than thirty days. However, despite being aware of many issues open for more than thirty days, it shows no data available."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its cost could be a barrier for some users."
"There is one concern related to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security platform. They claim it as an AI-based integration that will provide runtime protection."
"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."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"We had a glitch in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security where it fed us false positives in the past."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."
"Skyhawk Security can be improved mainly by improving the UI so it is a little bit easier to use, and the speed that it takes pages to load are the main downfalls."
"The platform’s interface needs enhancement."
"The solution needs automatic testing."
"You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"There are latency issues with the solution. They are small, however, they are there when you compare it to other vendors."
"On the improvement side, when we bypass certain internet traffic types, it's currently recommended to have a one-click option, but audio and video aren't always supported. Thus, we need to bypass that kind of traffic. So, it is an area of improvement."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"It would be better if the Zscaler Private Access team made it easier for people to find subscriptions on the portal, mainly information on what my customers subscribed to or the type of licenses purchased."
"While Zscaler supports client-initiated connections, it does not support server-initiated connections. This is a feature that Zscaler may consider adding in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
