Is able to auto-scale and remediate, as well as save us time
My favorite feature is Storyline. It creates a neat graph that shows us how any threat played out, in real time. We can see all the information about what was modified or changed on our system, such as files that were modified, created, or deleted, and register keys that were created or edited. For a SOC analyst, this information is super useful. We can deep dive into all the information and see exactly what happened on each computer individually. The second feature is actually part of the SDR platform, and it provides native integrations with other security software vendors, such as Okta or Azure AD. This allows us to ingest all of our audit logs for security events and to take action on them. For example, we can set up an automation alert so that if a threat is detected on an endpoint, we can automatically take action on our Okta or AD environment, such as locking the account that was signed in or forcing a password reset.

Helps us focus on specific vulnerabilities and security gaps that have to be fixed quickly
The solution's portal is very easy to use, but there's one key component that is missing when it comes to managing policies. For example, if I've onboarded my server and I need to specify antivirus policies, there's no option to do that on the portal. I will have to go to Intune to deploy them. That is one main aspect that is missing and it's worrisome. Defender for Cloud, as a solution, allows you to manage and protect servers from vulnerabilities without using Defender for Servers. I find it a bit weird, if you are to manage the antivirus for servers on the portal, that you can't deploy the antivirus policies on the same portal. For instance, if you want to exclude a particular folder from an antivirus scan or if you want to disable the antivirus from the portal, you'll not ideally do it on the portal. That's a huge part that is currently missing. Also, some thought has to be put into the issue of false positives. We've been seeing false positives that are related to Sentinel through the integration. We have been giving them this feedback, but I don't know if that is something that Microsoft is working on. The time for detection is one of the things that we were also supposed to raise with the Microsoft team. There is a slight delay in terms of detection. That "immediate" factor isn't there. There's a need to improve the time to detection. When malware has been detected by Defender for Endpoint, we find that it takes approximately one to two minutes before the signal reaches Defender for Cloud. If that could be reduced to near-real-time, that would be helpful. That's one of the key areas that should be improved because we've done some simulations on that.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."
"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."
"This is a worldwide service and depending on the country, there will be different prices."
"Security Center charges $15 per resource for any workload that you onboard into it. They charge per VM or per data-base server or per application. It's not like Microsoft 365 licensing, where there are levels like E3 and E5. Security Center is pretty straightforward."
"We are using the free version of the Azure Security Center."
"I rate Microsoft Defender a three out of ten for affordability. The price could be a little lower."
"It has global licensing. It comes with multiple licenses since there are around 50,000 people (in our organization) who look at it."
"The pricing is very difficult because every type of Defender for Cloud has its own metrics and pricing. If you have Cloud for Key Vault, the pricing is different than it is for storage. Every type has its own pricing list and rules."
"I am not involved in this area. However, I believe its price is okay because even small customers are using Azure Security Center. I don't think it is very expensive."
"The price of the solution is good for the features we receive and there is an additional cost for Microsoft premier support. However, some of my potential customers have found it to be expensive and have gone on to choose another solution."
