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…
Danie Joubert - PeerSpot reviewer
Good value for money; great for policy management
Our model of deployment for this solution is on-premises. For people looking into this solution and trying to use it for the first time, I'd say make your life easier by using the SUSE product as well on top of your community scale stack. That makes your integration points a lot easier and smoother. I would also say during your initial setup, make sure that your clusters are already in terms of the capabilities with the version required. I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this rating is that what they offer is solid, but they could expand their service and add more features just to make more things integrated into an enterprise itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable feature is its unified console."
"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"The cloud misconfiguration feature and Offensive Security Engine, as well as their alerting process, are valuable."
"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."
"I don't have to furnish my own infrastructure in order to run containers or Kubernetes."
"The solution's technical support is excellent."
"The tool is budget-friendly."
"Azure Kubernetes Service is pretty robust in terms of scalability and auto-scaling fixes."
"I have enjoyed working with all the features."
"The most valuable features of AKS are scalability, deployability, and automation."
"The solution is a managed Kubernetes, so much of the maintenance in the control plane is handled automatically by the cloud service provider."
"Its support team resolves technical issues accurately."
"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."
"The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security."
"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost."
"The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward."
"The solution includes many features, not only for container and client security but also for scanning nodes, networks, and vulnerabilities."
"When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."
"The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."
 

Cons

"We don't get any notifications from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security when the clusters are down."
"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."
"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"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."
"In addition to the console alerts, I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to also send email notifications."
"While the future roadmap presented by SentinelOne appears promising, I hope the envisioned advancements are realistically achievable and that the gap between current offerings and long-term goals is not too significant."
"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."
"The product needs to support a UI dashboard. I have to execute every single command to check the status of services which takes time."
"There are some limitations with the tutor version, particularly in terms of using a lot of free audio. The private level also has restrictions, limiting the number of audio files you can access to just 50. If you want more, you need to contact support."
"The cost of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is extremely high"
"The solution's logs have room for improvement."
"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."
"In terms of cost perspective, they could make the product more affordable."
"One area that could be improved is the Azure CLI. It would be beneficial if they could abstract some of the complexities related to deployment scripts and make them a part of Azure CLI."
"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."
"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."
"Using a node port instead of a cluster IP is less ideal when implementing federation features between two clusters and could be improved."
"The image-scanning features need improvement."
"The documentation needs to improve a bit."
"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."
"I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."
"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheap."
"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"The solution does not cost much."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"We could spend as little as $25 or $30 a month on Kubernetes Services, compared to the typical $100 a month expenditure for a virtual machine."
"I like the pricing and find it to be in the mid-range, and I would rate it as five out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is extremely high. Both Amazon and Azure cost extremely high. Given the basic features like when they are coming over the cluster nodes, we think over ten times before giving the solution to clients. No matter how many offerings the solution provides, it becomes so much of a burden that you are not even getting back your invested money from customers."
"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."
"The control plane is free and we only pay for the usage and time."
"The price of AKS is expensive. We pay approximately $10,000 monthly."
"The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work."
"SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution."
"The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
