Room For Improvement

BigID Next needs enhancements in file access, security, automation, UI navigation, deployment, data governance, and support features.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security needs better integrations, customization, reporting, and UI, with a focus on cost and performance.
There is also an issue with incident tagging, where all objects get tagged without an option to untag specific ones, and reverting changes is only possible through MongoDB Central, which can lead to data loss for certain periods.
Senior Associate - IT Governance and Compliance at Fulcrum Digital Inc
I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management.
Senior Manager at KPMG
BigID deserves recognition for the data discovery part, which has been wonderful and quite accurate, along with the confidence level process that allows us to fine-tune results for better accuracy from the database.
Assistant Manager - Cyber : Digital Privacy and Trust at Deloitte
It gives our management a false impression of there being no open incidents over that period.
Information Security Manager at SBI General Insurance
A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding.
Development Manager at SBI General Insurance
I feel there is room for improvement in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, particularly in creating custom dashboards since it only has a default dashboard feature, and a capability for creating custom dashboards would help us a lot as analysts.
Security Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
 

Setup Cost

BigID Next offers premium, capacity-based pricing; valued by large enterprises for advanced features, less feasible for smaller businesses.
SentinelOne is cost-effective for enterprises but pricey for small businesses, offering flexible, scalable pricing with potential discounts.
BigID might be expensive as it involves various paid services, like data retention and graphic rights management.
Senior Associate - IT Governance and Compliance at Fulcrum Digital Inc
The pricing is competitive in the market, however, I need to ask for the right price.
Senior Manager at KPMG
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
IT Support Specialist at a non-tech company with 201-500 employees
It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning.
AVP DevOps and Product Support at a recruiting/HR firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
I was able to consolidate two security vendors into one by switching to SentinelOne, and I now pay less than I did for either of them.
Director, DevOps at Relay Network
 

Valuable Features

BigID Next offers a user-friendly design, seamless Microsoft integration, and powerful data discovery, classification, and protection capabilities.

The most valuable feature of BigID is its large number of classifiers, which allow us to scan for specific data such as SSN numbers.

Featured Reviews

Aniruddha Nath - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Security Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Data discovery has transformed compliance workflows and automation now speeds up requests and remediation
The best feature that BigID offers is data discovery and classification, which is the most powerful engine. It allows connecting to many different data sources, ranging from cloud to on-premises to structured to unstructured data. If there is no connector available, you can build your own classifiers as well. Regarding the custom classifier option, you can build custom classifiers using regular expressions, and I have done that if you know how to create regular expressions. Custom connectors are something you create to connect to a database where the connector is not available. BigID has positively impacted my organization as it's a very powerful tool, especially with the increasing regulatory compliances for different countries such as GDPR, CCPA, and India's recent DPDPA act. Having these tools in place greatly helps organizations avoid any penal charges for not being compliant with the regulatory compliances. For example, regarding compliance or reduced risks for my clients, the DSAR process I was talking about allows organizations to respond quickly to user data deletion requests under GDPR law, which traditionally has a 30-day or 60-day timeline. In larger organizations, when the number of requests is high, it becomes tedious. However, using DSAR automation with BigID, it's almost instantaneous; instead of 30 days, you can respond in just one day to what users have requested.

Advanced rollback and AI-driven insights have protected endpoints and simplified security operations
We can check multiple types of alerts and triggers, and we can analyze these. There are many types of functions such as Kill, Quarantine, and remediate rollback types of features, which we can use for client safety. The rollback feature is the best feature because it is only used in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. We have used multiple types of EDR, but the rollback feature is unique to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. When many types of attacks happen in an organization, the rollback feature deletes all types of malicious files and other malware-type files and completely cleans your system. This feature is very interesting according to me. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides many types of features such as Kill and Quarantine, which are very interesting features for security operations. There are deep visibility features, and Purple AI is also one of the best features. It is easy for security operations and incident response. We can check log analysis with the help of deep visibility, and any types of attacks, malware, and phishing attacks are detected by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Many types of security operations can be tracked and observed with the help of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Purple AI is one of the interesting features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Deep visibility is one of the best features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. You can find any types of logs and any types of devices through searching portals, similar to Google search. It gives you information regarding this. With deep visibility, you can search for any name. For example, we can search for any name and check what is happening with that person's laptops, what USB is connected or disconnected, and whether the network is connected or not. This is with the help of Purple AI.
