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.

Antonio Scola

Owner at SUNLIT TECHNOLOGIES

Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration

I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.

Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management

I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."

"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."

"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."

"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."

"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."

"My favorite feature is Storyline."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."

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

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The analytical and reporting capabilities are pretty straightforward and show every transaction and major attempt to attack the application in the cloud."

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

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

"Tenable Cloud Security excels in vulnerability detection, one of its strongest features. Another valuable feature is software composition analysis, which highlights and automates the detection of security flaws. Additionally, their knowledge base is excellent; if anything goes wrong, they provide clear guidance on what needs to be done to address specific vulnerabilities."

"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."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"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."

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

"I find all Zscaler Private Access features valuable because each replaces flawed technologies, such as EPAs being replacements for VPN and PR as a replacement for PAM, so I can't mention only one valuable feature. Overall, Zscaler Private Access is a good solution."

"What I find most valuable in Zscaler Private Access is that it's a VPN. Its connectivity as a VPN is its most valuable feature."

"The best feature is the ability to establish the connection between your public network and automatically connect to the intranet connection."

"The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing."

"The tool's scalability is good."

"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."

"The solution is the best for storage."

"Zscaler Private Access is a platform that eliminates the complexity of VPN configuration."

More Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform pros

Cons

"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."

"I would prefer to see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM and CSPM."

"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."

"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."

"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."

"I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. The alert used to come after about three and a half hours. It used to take that long to generate the alert about the vulnerability in my system. If a hacker attacks a system and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes three to four hours to generate an alert, it will not be beneficial for the company. It would be helpful if we get the alert in five to ten minutes."

"I want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."

"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The product must provide more features."

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

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

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

"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."

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

"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."

"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."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

"I can't speak to any missing features."

"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."

"Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing."

"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."

"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."

"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."

"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."

"Setup is a bit complex because there are many steps that need to be taken before onboarding and activating the solution."
