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.

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."
"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."
"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is excellent, and I highly recommend it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"The customer service and support team at Tenable were extremely helpful."
"My advice for those considering Tenable Security Center is to note the benefit of upgrading vulnerable devices."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
 

Cons

"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."
"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."
"Their search feature could be better."
"One potential drawback is the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, which may be prohibitive for smaller businesses or startups, particularly those in regions with lower average incomes, such as India."
"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"Support could be faster."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"It could be more user-friendly for creating custom reports."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."
"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
Information not available
"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. The pricing of the solution falls in the mid-range level, so it is not too expensive"
"We're able to save because we don't have to employ more staff members to help wit ht he scheduling of the scans, running the reports or sending them out to the systems owners. That alone is a big ROI for us."
"The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually."
"The tool provides competitive pricing."
"I use a local license to perform penetration testing and I'm pretty happy with everything when it comes to pricing and licensing."
"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
"This solution's price is quite high."
