Sreeraj Mohandas

Security Engineer at HashXpert

Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation

I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Business Development Manager at Axoft Ukraine

A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment

The most crucial aspect is runtime protection, specifically image scanning before preproduction and deployment. Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment. This feature ensures that customers can identify any potential issues with the image, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, before integrating it into their workloads and infrastructure. In their source pipeline, companies can identify issues before deploying changes. This is crucial because customers prefer resolving any problems or misconfigurations before the deployment process. Software change security, including GSPM Cloud, is a key feature customers seek in their infrastructure.

Security Consultant at HCLSoftware

Security posture has improved with automated insights but reporting and integrations still need work

The best feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center is that it is flexible to integrate with several third-party tools or services, and it is more customized. For example, it is already giving a misconfiguration and the vulnerability, and if somebody wants to do some in-depth analysis for patterns such as metrics, they can export the continuous log on the spot with that tool. From an integration point of view, I would say it is more customized with different tools. The asset discovery feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center enhances my security strategy because, nowadays, data sensitivity and data privacy are very important, and using some DLP utility, I can classify and set up rules to generate reports based on the classification in their asset discovery. This can also include data classification on Google storage buckets, and overall, Google Cloud Security Command Center has that information, which can be used for various analyses or alerts. It is very important for compliance assessment because every business is global and connects with different geographical locations, meaning each country has its own regulatory systems and internal compliance policies. Google Cloud Security Command Center has the feature to set up security postures based on which resources or assets inside Google Cloud can be marked as compliant or non-compliant, giving a risk score for immediate reporting to higher management or CISO, making it very helpful in terms of security, risk, and compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Security has provided a single view to observe all workloads, prioritization for handling cloud assets, and reduced noise by distinguishing false positives effectively."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."

"I would definitely recommend this product to other members, vendors, or users, as it covers security posture management, auditing, documentation, and compliance management."

"The compliance monitoring feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security gives us a report with a compliance score to ensure we meet certain regulatory standards."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."

"The most valuable feature is the notification system, providing real-time alerts and comparisons crucial for maintaining security."

"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The most helpful feature of Aqua Security is Drift Prevention, which is a feature that allows images to be immutable, and one of the main reasons we went with Aqua Security is because it provides strong protection when it comes to runtime security."

"Aqua Security is the most advanced solution in the market for container security."

"My advice would be to go for it."

"The solution was very user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of Aqua Security is the scanner."

"The container scanning is very helpful."

"It is a very good product from an environmental perspective."

"The image security and image scanning were quite easy compared to Prisma, the solution was very user-friendly, easy to set up, stable, and the documentation was robust."

More Aqua Cloud Security Platform pros

"The compliance reporting feature helped us maintain a baseline of compliance within the information security policies."

"Most people use the threat detection dashboard."

"It simplifies compliance efforts."

"I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Security Command Center to others."

Cons

"The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement."

"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 SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."

"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."

"Response time can be improved because not all things are perfect in every product, whether CrowdStrike or Trend Micro."

"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."

"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."

"I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"There's room for improvement, particularly in management capabilities as it may not be comprehensive enough for all customers, and it has been lacking in the realm of cloud security posture management."

"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."

"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting."

"It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing."

"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."

"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."

"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."

"I would like Aqua Security to look into the development of a web security portal."

More Aqua Cloud Security Platform cons

"Visibility can be improved along with automation."

"There is definitely room for improvement in Google Cloud Security Command Center. While the functionality is very native, compared to third-party tools that offer a variety of features for easy integrations and custom KPIs, Google Cloud Security Command Center lacks some of these functionalities, requiring complex workarounds for custom reporting, and given that customers often use hybrid environments, having a broader perspective is necessary for integration."

"The AI capabilities have been heavily promoted, but I haven't seen a significant impact."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."

"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."

"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."

"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."

"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."

"It comes at a reasonable cost."

"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."

"The pricing of this solution could be improved."

"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."

"Initially, it used to be relatively expensive, starting at around four or five hundred dollars."
