Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Comprehensive threat detection simplifies security management
GuardDuty is limited to AWS environments. While incorporating Amazon Detective for detailed investigation can be useful, including more granular details in findings, such as specific user actions or historical comparisons, would be beneficial. Furthermore, managing global AWS environments requires setting up additional tools for viewing GuardDuty findings across multiple regions. A unified dashboard that aggregates findings across all regions without requiring manual aggregation could enhance convenience for users.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily."
"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 helps us discover vulnerabilities in a cloud environment like open ports that allow people to attack our environment. If someone unintentionally opens a port, we are exposed. Cloud Native Security alerts us so we can remediate the problem. We can also automate it so that Cloud Native Security will fix it."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a nine out of ten."
"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."
"One of the advantages of cloud services is the ability to use them on demand. There's minimal installation involved; you can check the latest offerings and make new deployments while dismantling the previous ones. This approach keeps you ahead of potential services, showcasing the agility of AWS."
"The product has automated protection powered by AI/ML, which is now far more powerful than before. It uses AI/ML in its detection algorithm, providing fast and quick results."
"It helps us detect brute-force attacks based on machine learning."
"The solution will detect abnormalities in the AWS workload and alert us so that we can monitor and take action."
"It kinda just gives us another layer of security. So it does provide some sort of comfort that we do have something that is monitoring for abnormal behavior."
"We use the tool for threat detection. AWS includes AI features as well. AWS GuardDuty gives us reports."
"The correlation back end is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Since our environment is cloud based and accessible from the internet, we like the ability to check where the user has logged in from and what kind of API calls that user is doing."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSPM tool, but its CWPP features need improvement, and there is scope for more application security posture management features."
"Singularity Cloud Security currently lacks a break-glass account function, which is a critical component for implementing Single Sign-On as it allows for regaining access in emergencies."
"Their search feature could be better."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"I have noticed that the dashboard occasionally gets stuck, potentially due to internet issues. It could benefit from enhancements to be more robust and smoother."
"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."
"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"Cost changes. It's very expensive. If you turn on every feature, it's more than most commercial vendors. For smaller orgs, that doesn't make sense."
"I would like to see more integration with other AWS provided services."
"One improvement I would suggest for AWS GuardDuty is the ability to assign findings to specific users or groups, facilitating better communication and follow-up actions."
"GuardDuty is limited to AWS environments."
"AWS GuardDuty needs to be more customer-oriented."
"An improvement would be to have a mobile version where remote workers can log in and monitor and fix issues."
"While sending the alerts to the email, they are not being patched. we have to do the patching and mapping manually. If GuardDuty could include a feature to do this automatically, it will make our job easier. That is something I believe can be improved."
"The product needs to improve its cost-efficiency since it is expensive."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

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."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"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."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
"I don't have all the details in terms of licensing for Amazon GuardDuty, but my organization does have a license set up for it."
"The tool has no subscription charges."
"We use a pay-as-you-use license, which is competitively priced in the market."
"The pricing model is pay as you go and is based on the number of events per month."
"The platform is inexpensive."
"Pricing is determined by the number of events sent."
"I have heard that the solution's price is quite high."
