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.
Raymond De Rooij - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalability and flexibility but needs better support
We are using Azure Kubernetes Service as a customer. I cannot detail all the products and technologies we are using There isn't one specific feature of Azure Kubernetes Service that I can name as most valuable. It's part of a strategic solution yet I don't see an advantage compared to our…
Hitesh D - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability and self-healing mechanisms ensure seamless production builds
The most useful feature of Mirantis Container Cloud ( /products/mirantis-container-cloud-reviews ) for our container management is Kubernetes ( /products/kubernetes-reviews ). It provides a cluster, high availability, and a self-healing mechanism. Its multi-cluster management capability enhances our operational efficiency as it is easy to use, and every deployment is from the CI/CD, which automatically builds and deploys without human interference, reducing our deployment time to a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a nine out of ten."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"The key strength of Singularity Cloud Security lies in its ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in our cloud accounts and identify suspicious activity that warrants further investigation."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers several valuable features, most notably the rapid vulnerability notifications that provide timely alerts regarding our infrastructure."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"The advantage of AKS is somewhat greater than that of Kubernetes, such as those provided by Google Cloud or AWS. However, the unique benefit offered by Microsoft is its robust CI/CD capabilities, along with the Azure feature for building workflows. When you combine the entire ecosystem, AKS becomes an excellent choice, particularly for enterprise applications."
"AKS is easy to use. We can scale up and down as needed with AKS, which saves us money on our cloud costs."
"Containerization of the applications is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the autoscaling and self-healing."
"The Front Door and Service Bus are the most vital features"
"The integration with Azure's security capabilities is very good. The Azure-managed identity and integration with the Azure application gateway for App Ingress are valuable features. Additionally, it is a very stable tool."
"I found the Helm deployment feature of the solution valuable."
"The platform's high scalability is one of its biggest advantages."
"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud."
"The initial setup was really easy and the deployment was fast and straightforward."
"Very easy solution to use as it is intuitive."
"I think the volume binding is a really interesting feature."
"The product is easy to use."
"Main products are portable."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"The solution containerizes software."
 

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"The solution's logs have room for improvement."
"Sometimes, it fails to provide specific metrics."
"Unfortunately, when a microservice fails, Azure can take up to 60 seconds to broadcast an alert to the monitoring agents."
"The solution's cost could be cheaper."
"I would like to see a graphical user interface."
"The initial setup is complex."
"One improvement I'd like to see is a better user interface for developers, enabling easier operation without relying heavily on command lines."
"This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"An improvement would be automated testing."
"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."
"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."
"Some improvements are needed, particularly related to internal network management compared to Kubernetes."
"Mirantis Container Cloud could improve in simplifying security and compliance management, particularly in vulnerability scanning and patching."
"Sometimes the basic support is a bit difficult if you have a firewall and cloud servers behind the firewall and then try to implement the backup solution, it is a bit difficult to do by yourself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"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."
"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."
"The pricing of the solution is same as Azure Stack."
"It is not expensive."
"You pay for what you use."
"The product is expensive."
"The control plane is free and we only pay for the usage and time."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"We are facing a significant challenge regarding OEM licensing. The issue arises from the fact that certain licenses required for our own purposes are not provided by Microsoft's licensing. Consequently, we are unsure about the most suitable mobile license provisioning model offered by third-party providers."
"It is expensive compared to other vendors."
"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
"Docker is a free solution."
"It is more costly than other products, but it is worth every penny."
"The community edition does not require a license and is completely free."
"The solution is open-source and free to try."
"The product is not expensive."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
