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.

Uses unique technologies for container security, flexible integration but lacks good user experience
There should always be some customized reports included. The dashboard is one thing, and the second is a report. Based on that, users can assist their environment. For example, for some Terraform code, customers want end-to-end things with their tool. They don’t want multiple tools. For a specific purpose, we need to look at different tools. They will look for a solution in one platform only so that the cost can be saved. If we use multiple tools, it means we need to give access to different ports in their environment. It is basically a kind of security compromise happening. Users have a lot of ports being used. So, basically, users don’t want to use multiple tools. They want a single tool that includes multiple features. The report part was missing. Also, some kind of clarity [flow clarity] is not in the tool as of now, but they are working on it. For example, if somebody manages the tool in their environment, the tool should be user-friendly. But this tool is not user-friendly as of now. This tool needs some kind of improvement so that new users or new security engineers can understand all the things in a short period of time. They can understand what is happening and how we can provide. They are catching the customer needs and working along with their development team. For example, some of the policies customers wanted to be placed at the organization level were missing. But AccuKnox have projections as well. Some of the good things they have used are flexible to integrate with other tools. For example, not from the security point of view, but maybe CI/CD, some third-party tools helping out to optimize the container image in terms of being lightweight or having a very low surface level. Basically, it protects against surface attacks. If a heavier image is used, it takes time to upload and impacts overall application performance. So, some tools are good for optimization.

Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a nine out of ten."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"The user-friendly dashboard offers both convenience and security by providing quick access to solutions and keeping us informed of potential threats."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"The platform is strong in container and kernel-level security."
"It learns from behavior, attacks, management, detections, captures packets, real-time analysis, et cetera. It's generating knowledge from a variety of sources for an excellent analysis."
"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"Most of the features are pretty valuable, whether that's a description of the attacks or the attack graph showing the vulnerabilities. If a single tool does all this work, the value is centralizing all these functions on a single tool. These are the cloud-native applications we talk about — containers, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure — and all those things are the primary focus of the CNAPP solution."
"We have more visibility than ever before, appreciating the valuable and proactive insight that we receive from the platform."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"CloudGuard's best feature is real-time detection. We can detect incidents and vulnerabilities in our code with one click."
 

Cons

"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its cost could be a barrier for some users."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"We repeatedly get alerts on the tool dashboard that we've already solved on our end, but they still appear. That is somewhat irritating."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"AccuKnox platform have AI-based features, but those aren’t fully developed yet."
"I would like an interface more adapted to cell phones or tablets."
"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."
"Check Point tools need to improve the latency in the portal since they take a long time to load."
"The impact analysis that they perform can be improved. It is currently lacking. It should be more detailed."
"No improvements are needed."
"We have concerns regarding the pricing and would appreciate seeing some improvements."
"The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there."
"In Dome9, there should be a policy validation option where we can validate the policy before we push it into production."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
Information not available
"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."
"The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
