We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning.""It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction.""It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job.""We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good.""There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring.""We noted immediate benefits from using the solution.""Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful.""My favorite feature is Storyline."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Pros →

"Its support team resolves technical issues accurately.""Azure Kubernetes Service is pretty robust in terms of scalability and auto-scaling fixes.""It employs high availability.""I have enjoyed working with all the features.""The setup was straightforward and it took one hour to deploy.""The most valuable features of AKS are rollback updates, high availability, easy management, speedy execution and deployment.""The product’s most valuable features are ease of use and automation.""The solution is a managed Kubernetes, so much of the maintenance in the control plane is handled automatically by the cloud service provider."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Pros →

"The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting.""The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature.""Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security.""It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch.""Tenable.io detects misconfiguration when you deploy a Docker or Kubernetes container. It's much better to remedy these issues during deployment instead of waiting until the container is already in the production environment.""Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."

Cons
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced.""We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in PingSafe.""There is a bit of a learning curve for new users.""One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation.""The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved.""I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check PingSafe. 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 PingSafe 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.""It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process.""They can work on policies based on different compliance standards."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Cons →

"The technical support could be faster.""This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations.""Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is not up to optimal standards when it comes to capturing logs and visualization.""We would like to see the addition of a service report from the server for this solution, so that we can monitor the health of server operations.""I would like to see Azure implement something like the K9 terminal for interacting with Kubernetes clusters. It's a user-friendly CLI interface.""The solution should improve its UI and cost.""AKS could enhance its functionality by introducing a blueprint feature that streamlines and expedites the process. With a blueprint, users can leverage pre-defined configurations, including some common survey elements, reducing the need for extensive customization and allowing us to focus on our core business activities. Additionally, if the blueprint covers security aspects, it would be greatly beneficial, as it eliminates the need for us to build security expertise from scratch. Currently, we encounter challenges during cloud onboarding, security implementation, and adapting to Kubernetes. Although Microsoft may not consider these as their direct responsibility, providing a blueprint similar to what they offer to developers would be highly advantageous.""I would like to see the stability get more synchronized."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cons →

"I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls.""They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed.""The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed.""The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled.""Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability.""The initial setup is highly complex.""I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners."
