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.

Offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness to users

The tool can be used in the area of vulnerability management to improve our company's security. I saw some impacts on our finances, especially on the banking side. In our company, we forecast the point for maturity and performance through assessments and security vulnerabilities in the cloud. Before I bought Tenable, I compared it with another band. The tool has been a really good point for the price. One of the teams in my company would like to use the tool and integrate it with other products used for patching and vulnerability assessment tools. The tool is a good product that is flexible and on the cloud. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

SecOps program for us, as a smaller company, is amazing; they know what to look for

They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter. Even as part of the SecOps Program, that could be helpful; a quick analysis. They're analyzing our whole infrastructure and saying, "You have one VPC and that doesn't make a lot of sense, that should be multiple VPCs and here's why." The architecture of the servers in whatever cloud-hosting provider you're on could be helpful. Other than that, they should continue to expand on their notifications and on what's a vulnerability. They do a great job of that and we want them to continue to do that. It would be cool, since the agent is already deployed and they know about the server, they know the IP address, and they know what vulnerability is there, for them to test the vulnerability and see if they can actually exploit it. Or, once we patch it, they could double-check that it can't be. I don't know how hard that would be to build. Thinking on it off the top off my head, it could be a little challenging but it could also be highly interesting. It would also be great if we could test a couple of other features like hammering a server with 100 login attempts and see what happens. Real test scenarios could be really helpful. That is probably more something close to what they do with the SOC 2 audit or the report. But more visualization of that, being able to test things out on our infrastructure to make sure we can or can't hit this box could be interesting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."

"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."

"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."

"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has significantly improved our risk posture."

"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."

"It gives me the information I need."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."

"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."

"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."

"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."

"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

"We like the ability of the host security module to monitor the processes running on our servers to help us monitor activity."

"It has been quite helpful to have the daily alerts coming to my email, as well as the Sev 1 Alerts... We just went through a SOX audit and those were pivotal."

"Threat Stack has connectivity."

"The most valuable feature is the SecOps because they have our back and they help us with the reports... It's like having an extension of your team. And then, it grows with you."

"The rules are really great. They give us more visibility and control over what's being triggered. There's a large set of rules that come out-of-the-box. We can customize them and we can create our own rules based on the traffic patterns that we see."

"There has been a measurable decrease in the meantime to remediation... because we have so many different tech verticals already collated in one place, our ability to respond is drastically different than it used to be."

"Technical support is very helpful."

"Every other security tool we've looked is good at containers, or at Kubernetes, is good at AWS, or at instance monitoring. But nobody is good at tying all of those things together, and that's really where Threat Stack shines."

More Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform pros

Cons

"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."

"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."

"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."

"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."

"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."

"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."

"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."

"The documentation that I use for the initial setup can be more detailed or written in a more user-friendly language to avoid troubles."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"The product must provide more features."

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

"Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product."

"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."

"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

"It shoots back a lot of alerts."

"They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter."

"The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great."

"The compliance and governance need improvement."

"The reports aren't very good. We've automated the report generation via the API and replaced almost all the reports that they generate for us using API calls instead."

"Some features do not work as expected."

"I would like further support of Windows endpoint agents or the introduction of support for Windows endpoint agents."

"The API - which has grown quite a bit, so we're still learning it and I can't say whether it still needs improvement - was an area that had been needing it."

More Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."

"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."

"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."

"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."

"It was reasonable pricing for me."

"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."

"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"

"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The tool's pricing is fair."

"The tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."

"I'm happy with the amount that we spend for the product that we get and the overall service that we get. It's not cheap, but I'm still happy with the spend."

"Pricing seems to be in line with the market structure. It's fine."

"What we're paying now is somewhere around $15 to $20 per agent per month, if I recall correctly. The other cost we have is SecOps."

"It is a cost-effective choice versus other solutions on the market."

"It came in cheaper than Trend Micro when we purchased it a few years ago."

"We find the licensing and pricing very easy to understand and a good value for the services provided."

"It is very expensive compared to some other products. The pricing is definitely high."
