Gives us better visibility into our resources and enables faster resolution
Pros and Cons
  • "Our organization is growing steadily, so our infrastructure is expanding, and we're managing more technical resources. Singularity Cloud Security helps us track our resources so that we don't get lost in the overwhelming volume of things and ensures we follow best practices. The solution gives us better visibility into our resources and enables faster resolution."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use Singularity Cloud Security to monitor our infrastructure and ensure it meets all security and compliance standards. The solution helps us maintain and strengthen our security posture. Singularity covers our AWS environment, Kubernetes clusters, and some of our GitHub repositories.

How has it helped my organization?

Our organization is growing steadily, so our infrastructure is expanding, and we're managing more technical resources. Singularity Cloud Security helps us track our resources so that we don't get lost in the overwhelming volume of things and ensures we follow best practices. The solution gives us better visibility into our resources and enables faster resolution. 

Another advantage of Singularity is compliance. I work in the payments industry, where regulations are strict.  Maintaining everything and ensuring all the resources meet compliance standards is challenging, but Singularity Cloud Security enables us to do that while saving a lot of time. 

Singularity has helped us reduce false positives, but it has also introduced some. Still, it's significantly less than many of the other tools we use. If we deal with fewer false positives, the technicians have more bandwidth to work on real issues. We don't need to spend time on the analysis and can focus on fixing the vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance. 

The solution has improved our security posture considerably. In the finance industry, we can't function if we aren't compliant. The better our security posture is, the more compliant we are. By reducing vulnerabilities, we have eliminated risk factors in our systems.

Our remediation time is shorter. It's easier to identify vulnerabilities. We don't need to do much analysis before fixing vulnerabilities. About 90 percent of the time, we can identify the correct problem instantly and begin remedying the finding. It has saved a lot of time. It takes us only one or two days to remedy critical issues, whereas it previously took two weeks. Our mean detection time has dropped from about a week to one or two days.

The solution has given us a lot of insight into cloud security. It shows us some best practices that many people in the company do not know. Singularity finds those weak spots and educates us on the latest best practices to follow. The next time we deploy changes to our infrastructure, we change our policies and designs based on the recommendations. 

What is most valuable?

Singularity Cloud Security's UI is clean, simple, and easy to use. When I started using it, I found it easy to learn what things are. Everything is explained in detail. It's always up to date with the latest technologies, such as AWS Kubernetes. They keep on top of trends with new features and updates.

The solution has a mapping feature that allows me to write my own queries and better understand my resources. It also offers some help with security controls on their end, suggesting best practices that you can use to write custom queries or standards. We have the flexibility to customize our infrastructure based on our needs. 

Singularity's evidence-based reporting rates my alerts so I can see which ones to prioritize and identify the critical vulnerabilities. It provides a highly detailed description of each vulnerability and the resolution steps. I can triage all the findings from one place and apply different filters based on my preferences.

The offensive security engine is another major feature. We use it for our infrastructure and machines to see if we have an exposure or liability. It takes some time, but the vulnerability reports are highly accurate. It saves us some time because we don't need to verify all the vulnerabilities. We just have to go fix them.

What needs improvement?

The detection time could be better. It takes a long time to scan. I'm not sure how long other tools take for the same amount of scanning, so I cannot compare it with other tools, but it takes us half a day to a full day to complete the scan. I want to get the reports faster so we can start fixing the problems. 

The proof of exploitability is another area for improvement. While I have all the information to troubleshoot the problem, it isn't detailed enough for an administrator. It has sufficient information for a general user, but an administrator would like to know all the ins and outs of the vulnerabilities that have been reported. 

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.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security
February 2025
Learn what your peers think about SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: February 2025.
838,713 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used Singularity Cloud Security for about eight months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't seen any major stability problems. There are some minor issues but they are rare. Overall, it has been a smooth experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity is scalable. It has one UI that can be integrated easily with multiple backends, so we have all the data in one place and we can do whatever we want with it. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate SentinelOne support eight out of 10. Their support team is proactive. It has been a while since I connected with them. They helped me with all my questions quickly. It was an excellent experience. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have worked on other infrastructure-as-code tools and other tools for various functions that Singularity performs, such an AWS Inspector, but now we use Singularity for most of it. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not a very complex process. Because of the large number of resources, we have so many places where we need to integrate the solution repeatedly. It's easy to set up new places or add integrations. The initial setup took two to four weeks. That was how long it took to go back and forth and cover everything. 

We did a PoC first, which wasn't very hard. Our deployment team consisted of three or four people. The vendor team was very helpful when they deployed everything on our infrastructure. They helped us set up all the necessary permissions. 

What was our ROI?

The return on investment has been good. Singularity offers a lot of flexibility to focus on different aspects because it gives us a lot of information and helps us maintain the observability of all our resources. That is something that we value because of the sheer volume of resources we have. We couldn't do that manually or using some other tools. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity seven out of 10. It's a solid product and I recommend checking it out. It has some excellent features, observability, metrics, etc. It's very cool.

The offensive security feature is something no other product offers
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."

What is our primary use case?

We adopted Cloud Native Security for its offensive security engine, which no other tools provide. It checks to see if any file or domain has public access. We also use it for cloud configuration scanning. Now, we are integrating it with cloud detection and response and plan to integrate it with CloudTrail and logs. Multiple team members use the solution. Our cloud security team has more than 10 members. We sometimes forward issues to the application team.

How has it helped my organization?

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. 

Compliance management is critical for every organization. Our compliance score was pretty low when we started using Cloud Native Security. Now, we've started seeing improvement every quarter.  We're around 85 to 95 percent compliant. When we see any alerts related to configuration, we raise a ticket with our follow-up team unless the issue is resolved automatically. We eliminate false positives and identify and work on any problems with our policies or other issues. 

Cloud Native Security has reduced our detection time by 15 to 20 percent through automation. The solution makes it easier by showing every impacted resource on a single dashboard. If we didn't have an automated tool to show us all the affected assets, we wouldn't know what's happening on every server or the resources we have created. Without this solution, we had to go to the documentation page for every cloud provider and implement the change. Now, we can check a single dashboard to get an overall idea of how something impacts our resources, and it helps us to automate. 

The solution has improved collaboration between our teams regarding security posture. We can say to the cloud security team that they need to follow a particular posture-related practice or adopt a network configuration, like blocking public access to a resource. We give these requirements to the network development and application teams.

Cloud Native Security has reduced our vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, improving our security posture. We had about 10,000 alerts when we started, but we brought that down to around 500. That was a considerable improvement in six months. 

What is most valuable?

I have worked on most of the tools in the market, and every product has distinctive features. Cloud Native Security's standout feature is offensive security. That's something no other product offers. All the other products have the same core features, such as vulnerability scanning. 

The UI is user-friendly, and the recommendations are easy for everyone to understand. If any misconfiguration happens, all four teams can read the options and understand how to implement them. To achieve these goals, we can also create an automated template according to cloud security best practices

SecOps plays a crucial role in our deployment and testing in the software lifecycle. In the course of building and deploying our applications, we need to look at our vulnerabilities and configurations. It's easy to identify these things and fix them before deployment by integrating Cloud Native Security.

The solution's evidence-based reporting is helpful because it provides real-time information. If a file has been opened and we haven't provided access, it gives us the evidence. It tells us the domain, and we try to investigate by going to the team that owns the file. We require them to make the file private, so it can't be accessed from the internet.

What needs improvement?

Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We started using Cloud Native Security last year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Cloud Native Security doesn't have any bugs or glitches. It's fairly stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Cloud Native Security nine out of ten for scalability. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate Cloud Native Security support nine out of ten. They have email support, but there is no option to raise tickets from within the portal. Now, they have Intercom, and we raise tickets through that. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Prisma Cloud, which has many of the same features, such as cloud-based configuration, Kubernetes scanning, vulnerability assessment, etc., but Cloud Native Security has the Offensive Security Engine. That is the main reason we switched.

How was the initial setup?

Our organization started with a POC for a month and a half before presenting Cloud Native Security to our VP and senior leadership. They gave us the go-ahead, and we finalized the product. It took us less than a week to implement, but the deployment time depends on the organization. It might take time if they need to get approval from leaders. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate Cloud Native Security seven out of ten for pricing. It's cheaper than many other products. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Cloud Native Security nine out of ten. It's a mature solution that includes all the features found in other products on the market. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud
Pros and Cons
  • "The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We are a relatively smaller organization of roughly 250 people. We utilize SentinelOne for patch management, vulnerability assessments, and remediation. So whenever one of our users has an issue on their machine, we get an immediate notification to let us know what that intrusion, infection, malware, whatever it might be, where it is, what file may have caused it, and then we can immediately take action. 

There are also default settings for ensuring the software that SentinelOne installs on all our client machines. The latest agent is up to date everywhere. They have a couple more insights, however, that's our main use case.

The big thing for us was just having optics on vulnerabilities, being able to ensure that we have a secure way to get month-over-month assessments of our security stats, and ensuring that there's something in place that can make sure that we're secure. We also wanted something that could keep up with current demands without having any sort of interference or impact on the user's end.

How has it helped my organization?

The biggest thing for us is the level of minimal intrusion on our user's experience. The previous EDR we were using, Sophos, was not ideal. Whenever an update came out, there would be different things that were affected. At one point, an update from Sophos had completely disabled public Wi-Fi for our users. And when dealing through their message boards, dealing with their support, they, unfortunately, did not have a resolution other than disabling security elements of their software. With SentinelOne, we have not seen a single instance of that. You can get down to the user level of tweaking different elements of their security system. You can even quickly add exclusions based on rules. Being able to tailor to our users and making sure that our users don't feel like something is running on their machine is the biggest advantage.

What is most valuable?

The remote shell and the remediation are the two that really stand out as valuable features. The remote shell function that it offers is something that I use almost daily. It allows us to quietly and discreetly sign in on a user's computer, but only as admin. It prevents any sort of security issues or security risks to a user, which would be probably our favorite. 

The remediation is really nice as it gives a very clear understanding of where a file came from. For example, in our use of it, there are a couple of files that we had that we didn't even know that we had. There was software that no one was aware was installed on these machines more than three years ago; we actually learned about that software once SentinelOne was installed. The level of optics it gives you is just incredible.

With that software, as soon as we installed SentinelOne, there were a couple of different applications and software that were immediately flagged as tracking user information and things like that. We found out that there was actually some sort of remote surveillance software that the past iteration of the IT team had installed and tested that just never got removed. We ended up tracking down the vendor for that and getting their assurance that that was no longer being used.

The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great. I've never used anything that was as fast as this. The software that we used to use, Sophos, was comparable, however, it had a noticeable impact on the user. The bigger thing for me is that there isn't an impact on my end users. When we are actually running a scan, let's say, if we find that there's an impact, it's very quick. We've tested it by throwing malicious software onto our test machines just to see how quickly SentinelOne actually picks it up. And it's literally within seconds. When you actually do a scan, you can scan your higher fleet, and it's done relatively quickly as long as those machines are powered on. And it will act the second that those machines power on and connect to the Internet again to get that signal.  I've never used anything as quick, personally. 

The forensic visibility into the Linux terminal is not something we use as we actually don't use any Linux machines ourselves, so I couldn't speak to that. As far as visibility goes, we're primarily a Mac organization, and we have ten percent of our users on PC. As far as Mac goes, the visibility is fantastic. Same with the PC side of things. 

The historical data record, from what they had shown us in the demo, looks pretty incredible. We thankfully have not suffered an attack that required historical data. 

In terms of our mean time to detect, I don't think we ever had it. Since we're a small organization, we haven't had any real issues with genuine malware attacks. I can't speak to a scenario where while we were on Sophos, we experienced one. When we've had security audits that have tried to pen test for us, we have not had any issues with SentinelOne whatsoever. Every time that we've attempted to see how accurate and how quickly it can detect an infection or intrusion, it's being caught immediately.

The same is true for mean time to remediate. Any remediation that we do, for example, as soon as we block off a file, the automatic remediations are nice. In the event that we want to have something behave differently on another machine, we can quickly change that once we see it in any incident log. Setting those permanent rules is very helpful since, if you know something's malicious, chances are you don't want it showing up anywhere else.

The product has helped free up your SOC staff to work on other projects or tasks. The work that we used to have to do with our previous provider in going through our vulnerability assessments on a monthly basis and in trying to track down the install path of different applications was a headache and a half. With SentinelOne, the application management, and vulnerability assessments, are easy. You can see directly to the file path. It cuts a significant enough time out of our day.

It's had a positive impact on our overall productivity. Being able to dig through and find applications faster has drastically cut down our vulnerability position. When we first started using Singularity, we were somewhere in the thousands. Within the first month of having used it for our vulnerability assessments, we were down to just 1600, and now we're sitting well under the 500 mark when it comes to critical vulnerabilities. It's been very drastic and exponential at that. Now, any time a vulnerability does pop up, it's very quick and easy for us to track down where it is and take immediate action.

The interoperability with third-party solutions is fine. We don't currently use Kubernetes in our organization, however, we do utilize a VPN and it has no issues with adapting to that VPN. We also utilize different storage, including cloud storage accounts. There are no issues there either.

They've been fantastic at supporting innovation. We've had their support; they're always very responsive and very quick to give us the right advice on how we can execute what we're looking to do. Making sure that you have access to the necessary system without interrupting your user and without your user feeling at risk of their privacy being invaded is huge.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for nine to ten months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I've had no stability issues at all. We have not experienced any performance decreases.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

As far as deploying to more devices, there's not a problem with scaling at all. We've automated in our MDM so any device that we start in our MDM automatically installs SentinelOne, and those devices immediately show up. If we spin up a new device on Mac OS, it shows within the set the SentinelOne console within seconds.

How are customer service and support?

Their support has been fantastic. They are quick to respond. 

I've never had an issue with their support. What little time I did have one scenario where it was not something that they could help with, they'd been able to provide us with all the articles and information necessary to act on it on our own, which is really all you can ask for.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were previously using Sophos. The biggest issue that we had with them was the fact that we were a fully remote company, so a lot of our users would be traveling for client meetings or even traveling abroad for client meetings. Reliance on a secure public WiFi solution is a very big deal for us. When it comes to users on a VPN, Sophos with MacOS's more recent updates would completely cut off Wi-Fi - which was very difficult for us to work around as a remote company. Thankfully, with multiple different tests in multiple different scenarios, we've never had that issue with SentinelOne. 

The other big thing is the capability to remove a device from the network. In the event that a significant intrusion or malware, malware, ransomware, whatever it might be, is detected the ability to just isolate that one user from internet access is huge. You would hope that that's how an EDR would behave instead of completely removing all internet no matter what.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. Our organization uses Kagi MDM. And in using that MDM solution, it was very easy for us to just quickly put together an automated installer and deploy it. 

We have multiple different groups of users, including PC and Mac. With the smaller percentage of PC users, we were able to just change the group ID in the installer, and that ensured that they were placed into the proper place for their groups. Being able to tweak and ensure that from the back end within the SentinelOne console, we could ensure that everything is set up the way we want it to be once that user gets that package installed, makes life a lot easier. You don't need to worry about signing on with a user and changing any of those settings. The installer package that they get is going to be everything that they need. Once that installs, that's it. It was very seamless. If anything, removing Sophos was the hardest part of the installation process.

We were able to deploy using a team of three people. Hypothetically, one person could do it alone as long as they are well versed in MDM.

As far as the application itself is concerned, there was no need for maintenance. You can control everything from the console. When there is a new agent to install you receive a notification when you log in to the management console. You can control when that update gets deployed to your organization. You can break it up into different groups within your organization. For ourselves, we always test on a smaller number of users. And then once we see stability, we deploy to the rest. That's what little maintenance is involved. It's a drastic improvement versus other solutions that I've used.

What about the implementation team?

We were able to do the initial setup completely in-house. We were able to do that on our own. We were able to very, very quickly deploy SentinelOne to pretty much our entire fleet.

What was our ROI?

Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider. Our users have less of a performance drain when attempting to use it. That's always huge when it comes to EDR. It pretty much checks every single box for us. It's the one software in our stack that we are happiest with.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For us, the pricing is very fair. They were willing to meet our price point. 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. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We reviewed quite a few solutions. The big selling point for this product was that they were willing to work with us on a price point as a smaller organization. That was a huge reason for us actually going with them. The fact that they were willing to work with us as far as the pricing goes was the main reason that we ended up going with them. It was nice to see that they work with the little teams.

What other advice do I have?

We're a customer and end-user.

We thought something as good as SentinelOne would be out of the question for an organization of our size. We assumed it would be something that's suited to larger organizations - money, obviously, being the main concern. However, the fact that they were willing to work with us changed that. Seeing that they're willing to work with smaller organizations is cool. I like that they actually give back to the tech sector that way.

I'd rate the stability ten out of ten.

I'd advise new users that they're going to need to invest a little bit of time upfront in order to make sure that their organization is set up for proper deployment. We probably spent about a week or two configuring everything and getting it to work the way we wanted. However, after that initial investment of time, the maintenance that you have to do is pretty minimal.

Provides automated security responses, is effective for threat management, and saves us costs
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable aspect of Singularity Cloud Security is its unified dashboard."
  • "A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."

What is our primary use case?

To address our client's infrastructure vulnerabilities, we implemented Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne. This security solution effectively identifies and resolves security issues, streamlining the process of ensuring our clients' infrastructure remains secure.

For the past year and a half, we've been managing AWS infrastructure for a client, originally using basic AWS security tools. While these provided a workable solution, Singularity Cloud Security offered a significant advantage. It prioritizes vulnerabilities by severity, high, medium, or low, allowing us to focus on the most critical issues first. This centralized tool gathers information and displays all details on a single dashboard, significantly reducing manual work. The dashboard helps us identify problems, understand their meaning and potential impact, and follow clear resolution steps. This streamlined process enables us to address security concerns quickly and effectively, ultimately enhancing our client's infrastructure security.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Cloud Security was convenient and effective for threat management. In the past, we relied on daily information gathering and alerts, requiring us to manually address the findings. Now, Singularity Cloud Security provides continuous threat detection and simplifies our work, significantly improving our security posture.

The automated security responses have significantly improved our overall security posture.

Singularity Cloud Security is easy to use as it gives us the proper step-by-step methods to solve that vulnerability.

I would rate the evidence-based reporting for helping prioritize and solve important cloud security issues nine out of ten.

It is helpful that Singularity Cloud Security includes proof of exploitability in the evidence-based reporting. Although it isn't perfect, it gives us the right solution to mitigate vulnerability.

Our infrastructure configuration is defined using an Infrastructure as Code template. This template allows us to scan our entire infrastructure for potential issues, including pre-production problems within templates or container configuration files. Previously, we stored infrastructure details in a format that required manual data retrieval via CSV files. Now, with IaC, we have a centralized control system that manages multiple accounts and provides vulnerability listings based on severity for each account.

Our previous default AWS security tool wasn't sufficient, so we adopted Singularity Cloud Security based on a client recommendation. It's been a huge improvement. Whereas our old tool took three months to gather data, Singularity Cloud Security provides a daily updated dashboard with vulnerability information. This allows us to prioritize and address security risks based on criticality, saving us significant time and effort compared to the past.

Singularity Cloud Security has helped reduce the number of false positives by 70 percent.

Singularity Cloud Security streamlines manual work by providing insightful information on security vulnerabilities. It not only identifies issues we might miss but also offers in-depth analysis, including potential future costs and the severity of the threat. Additionally, it presents basic details tailored for users with less security expertise, empowering them to understand and address vulnerabilities effectively.

Singularity Cloud Security has improved our risk posture by 80 percent and has reduced our mean time to detection by 85 percent.

Singularity Cloud Security has reduced our mean time to remediation by 70 percent.

It has streamlined collaboration between our cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams. This tool automates manual tasks, reducing our team size from ten to five. It provides us with the information we need to effectively identify and address vulnerabilities, making our cloud environment more secure.

It has been a huge time-saver for our engineering team, saving them weeks of work.

We have saved around 70 percent of our overall time with Singularity Cloud Security. 

Singularity Cloud Security has positively impacted our operational costs. The time saved by reducing manual work and resource requirements translates directly into cost savings.

Singularity Cloud Security's AI empowers us with improved security solutions. When faced with uncertainty, the tool can quickly provide insights to help us gain a clear understanding of the situation. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect of Singularity Cloud Security is its unified dashboard. This reduces manual work by centralizing all security information, allowing us to see vulnerabilities categorized by severity, low, medium, high, and critical. This clear prioritization streamlines the process of understanding, addressing, and resolving security issues, making threat mitigation significantly more efficient.

What needs improvement?

A recurring issue caused frustration: a vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day. We reported this to both our internal team and SentinelOne for investigation and resolution. This needs improvement to prevent these repetitive alerts.

In a future update, it would be beneficial to have both an AI chat function and a more modern user interface.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne for eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate Singularity Cloud Security's stability nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate Singularity Cloud Security's scalability eight out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In AWS, we previously relied on Amazon Inspector, a built-in service that automatically scans for vulnerabilities including VDF findings, a type of assessment finding in our resources. This not only provided a default security solution but also integrated with AWS Security Hub, allowing us to centrally address critical security issues. We migrated to Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne because our prior tools were labor-intensive and lacked a unified dashboard. Previously, identifying which accounts had vulnerabilities required manually checking each one. Now, Singularity offers a single pane of glass for all our accounts, displaying both account details and any security findings. This significantly reduces manual work and simplifies our security posture.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment took weeks and involved ten people.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne nine out of ten.

Singularity Cloud Security is deployed in multiple departments and we have five users.

Singularity Cloud Security occasionally requires scheduled downtime for maintenance, which allows our technicians to identify and address any potential problems.

I recommend Singularity Cloud Security. It's streamlined our operations by reducing manual work and simplifying problem-solving. The user interface is intuitive, allowing even new hires to become proficient after just a few weeks of training.

Cost-effective, identifies vulnerabilities in the infrastructure, and saves time
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool identifies issues quickly."
  • "When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."

What is our primary use case?

We are using the solution to identify the security vulnerabilities in our AWS infrastructure. Whenever we create a new infrastructure in AWS, if there is a vulnerability, an issue is created in the PingSafe console. There are different severities, such as critical, medium, and high. The product also provides solutions to resolve the issues. PingSafe provides a solution document for AWS. It helps us resolve issues. We have seven to eight AWS accounts. It is all in PingSafe. PingSafe identifies the issues with all the accounts.

How has it helped my organization?

Our company has very strict compliance requirements for security. PingSafe has helped us resolve vulnerabilities and issues using best practices. It helps us resolve the security vulnerabilities of the AWS cloud infrastructure. The compliance monitoring capabilities are helpful. The tool identifies issues quickly. It gives us the root cause of the security issues rapidly.

The evidence given by the product helps us resolve the issues. It provides a step-by-step guide to resolve issues. It helps us a lot. PingSafe provides us with a lot of information. It provides us with a document of AWS. We use AWS CloudFormation. If there is an issue with AWS CloudFormation or if the code is rapidly changing, PingSafe will identify the issue.

The number of false positives depends on the requirements of the clients. If the client needs something for their application and it shows as an issue in PingSafe, we must contact PingSafe and close the issue as an exception. The tool has reduced the false positives by 10%.

The solution helps us maintain our risk posture. We use a web firewall in AWS. If we do not have a firewall in any of the resources, the PingSafe console will identify it as an issue. The tool has helped reduce the mean time to detect. We check the PingSafe dashboard daily. We have a checklist. We can identify how many issues are open and how many issues are closed. It helps us reduce the time to identify the issues and open vulnerabilities. PingSafe has helped us reduce our workload and time by 50% to 60%.

PingSafe helps reduce our mean time to remediate by 70% to 80%. The product reduces workload and time. It is very important in every organization to reduce time and find vulnerabilities. PingSafe also provides us with solutions to the issues. Every organization must have a tool like PingSafe. I will recommend the product to others.

What is most valuable?

The PingSafe team identifies issues when we create the infrastructure. Within two to three hours, they create an issue in the PingSafe console. It helps us resolve the vulnerabilities during the creation of the infrastructure. PingSafe provides us with documents on how to resolve issues with the infrastructure. It saves our time in identifying issues. Integration with our cloud environment was straightforward.

What needs improvement?

Based on our application requirements, we discussed some improvement points with the PingSafe team. However, after the new updates, what we asked for was not implemented. The exceptions we requested from the PingSafe team were not included in the console. When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 12 users, including internal users and clients. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The deployment takes a few days. Our cloud team and the PingSafe team were involved in the deployment process. We need two to three people for the deployment. The tool does not require any maintenance.

What about the implementation team?

I am satisfied with the technical support.

What was our ROI?

We save a lot of time identifying vulnerabilities. The product gives us the issue and the solution. It reduces our time and workload.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The tool is cost-effective.

What other advice do I have?

The product is easy to use. My colleague provided me with a KT of the tool. I could learn to use it in two to three days. I understood how to check and resolve issues and segregate them into different severities. The ease of use is very helpful.

Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Great support, works well with AWS, and offers good vulnerability scanning
Pros and Cons
  • "The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
  • "I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."

What is our primary use case?

We have AWS for most of our infrastructure, however, we don't have a dedicated security team. There are a lot of potential vulnerabilities which we are concerned about. We use PingSafe for security. For example, if there are open ports or incorrect configurations, we would get alerted and could fix them.

What is most valuable?

They have dedicated cloud-based configurations, which are quite helpful. 

The product works well with AWS. It can help us manage AWS security. If there are any groups or details that are incorrect or unsafe, or even misconfigured, it helps protect us. 

The product offers ISE scanning, which basically scans all activities for issues. 

We can pick up on pre-production issues. It's very helpful. They've helped us by providing a lot of CI/CD tools. Everything gets scanned so that we can get a sign-off before a deployment.

The ease of use is very good. I'd rate the ease of use 8 out of 10. They have nice UI and templates and the docmentation is very helpful. It's very thorough. 

They also have a good support system for users. If something is not working, they have a good SLA, and within a day or so, they will reach out and help you with whatever you need. 

The agentless vulnerability scanning is great.

If a protocol is not being properly followed, we'll be alerted. This helps us react faster to any production issues. 

We do use the offensive security engine. It's good for verifying exploit paths and prioritizing items. We have recently started using this. It allows us to see which endpoints, for example, are publically accessible, or what code repositories have vulnerabilities in terms of libraries we are using that may be outdated. For example, if we've noted our NGINX server is very publically exposed we can change things. 

The benefits of the product were felt almost immediately as it allowed us to handle issues in the pre-production phase. We didn't have to make anything live before finding issues. Within an hour, we'd begin to see issues, and within 4 to 6 hours, we'd have a full survey of security vulnerabilities. We also get regular notifications when the system sees something is off. Based on the information we receive, we're able to react and fix things very quickly.

We're able to see both high and low-priority issues so that we can accurately prioritize what to do first. That helps us manage bandwidth in terms of resources. 

PingSafe has helped us reduce the amount of false positives we see. We've reduced false positives by around one-third. 

Our mean time to detect has been reduced, as well as our mean time to respond. We used to rely on a third-party provider to find issues, and now we can do it in-house. This means we no longer have to sync our AWS information on a daily basis. Now, we have a direct integration with PingSafe. We used to have a delay of 36 to 48 hours before we would recognize if there were any vulnerabilities. On top of that, there was a reaction time delay of 4 to 6 hours, meaning issues wouldn't be dealt with until maybe 50 or so hours after the vulnerability was detected. We've reduced all of this down to maybe 8 to 10 hours.

The collaboration between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams has been better. It's mostly been positive for us. 

What needs improvement?

They could improve on their UI.  Sometimes it's not clear where to look when seeking information. Support often can direct us by giving us the correct link to what we are looking for. 

I'd like to see better onboarding documentation. If we want to be able to integrate something new, such as new assets, it can be difficult. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for more than 2 years now. We started using it around December 2021 or January 2022. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't faced any lagging or crashing. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For our use case, it has been scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The support they provide is good. They give you very detailed information and documentation which they have created internally. They are very informative. They've even shared their own internal documentation in terms of AWS issues or questions. 

They are quick to respond, You can rely on them. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did use a different solution, however, it didn't offer direct AWS integration. Due to this, we had to wait up to 48 hours for information on vulnerability issues. We were already having security issues in that timeframe, so we needed something that could help us detect faster. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was easy. However, having more initial onboarding documentation would have been better. However, we've created some internal docs that have helped us with our use case. How long it takes to deploy depends on the use case, however, we were able to have it up in 12 to 14 hours. We had 2 people working on the deployment. 

What about the implementation team?

PingSafe did offer some assistance with the setup.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not sure of the exact pricing. However, my understanding is that it is very economical. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did explore Crowd Strike at some point. Crowd Strike was a very big platform and we were not sure how much support we'd get. We wanted to make sure we had priority support.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution 9 out of 10. The usability is very good. Both their new and mature products are good in terms of their overall usability.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Helps free up SOC staff to work on other projects, detect threats and protect our assets
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Cloud Workload Security gave us the visibility we needed and freed up time to do other tasks. It narrows down the false positives that we got with the previous solution.

What is most valuable?

We use Singularity Cloud Workload Security to detect threats and protect our assets. We look at the threats that come in and whether they're being blocked. We use Singularity Cloud Workload Security as an anti-malware threat management product.

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.

What needs improvement?

We had a couple of issues with the solution's deployment. We had to deploy the agent, and sometimes there were issues. It feels like we're battling a version of the software when we have to deploy an agent over another agent. It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Singularity Cloud Workload Security for over a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't heard from our team about any stability issues with Singularity Cloud Workload Security. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is more stable than our previous solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity Cloud Workload Security handles anything we throw at it. The scalability is good.

How are customer service and support?

When we have an issue, an online engineer from their group helps us resolve it within an hour or two. I haven't heard anything negative about the solution's support from our team.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the selection and the proof of concept process. I wasn't on the call for the installation, but I overheard our two engineers involved in the solution's installation. The solution's deployment was pretty quick, and they installed it in one day.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution with an in-house team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at. One product was a little bit cheaper, but its functionality and the overall product weren't as good as Singularity Cloud Workload Security. One of the vendors' prices was almost double what we would get thus far. Talking to their engineer and salesperson put our minds at ease when we got it. We knew they would be there for support, and they have been really good.

What other advice do I have?

I'd ask users to take a good look at Singularity Cloud Workload Security because it brings a lot of value to the table. For its price, the solution does a good job compared to some other solutions.

Singularity Cloud Workload Security’s automated remediation works great.

The solution’s real-time detection and response capabilities work great for us. It frees up time, unlike our previous solution, where we had a lot of false positives. 

It's granular, and you can take a deeper dive into something if you need to. You can analyze and get a verdict. It's easier to narrow it down and pinpoint it with more detail.

The solution helped reduce our organization’s mean time to detect. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is quicker than our previous solution. We are a small group of just five people, and we have to do instantaneous detection to stop things from coming in quickly. We like that part a lot.

The solution helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediate. It lets us analyze an incident, report the status quicker, and escalate it quicker than our previous solution.

Singularity Cloud Workload Security helped free up SOC staff to work on other projects. It probably freed up 10 to 15 hours a week. Before, we spent a couple of hours a day sifting through events and trying to see if they were false positives. The solution freed up a lot of time.

We have seen an impact on our organization's productivity using Singularity Cloud Workload Security. With the freed-up time, we're able to do a lot of other work. We use other products and look at phishing emails. It frees up our time to study more than we did in the past.

I would have users look at their visibility across their environment. The solution's quick response to threats, ability to act on them, automated incident response, and forensic investigation capabilities are really good. The solution provides you with 24/7 threat monitoring detection.

We work eight hours a day when we have someone on call. It's nice to know someone else is also looking at our events. They're there to dive in with us when we need them to help increase our team. Even though they're not on our team, they're there to help us.

Overall, I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security a nine out of ten.
