Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.2
BigID offers high ROI through excellent API integration and comprehensive data management, ensuring compliance with strict privacy regulations.
Sentiment score
8.0
Users report improved ROI with SentinelOne, citing benefits in security, cost savings, efficiency, and reduced remediation time.
It is one of the best tools in the market.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.0
BigID's technical support is responsive and well-rated, offering prompt assistance and effective issue resolution, despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
7.7
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers reliable, responsive support with knowledgeable assistance, though minor delays and knowledge gaps sometimes occur.
BigID has one of the best technical support teams.
Professional service provides early and efficient support.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
BigID is scalable and adaptable but requires additional tools for data presentation; experiences vary among users.
Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity offers scalable cloud-native security, enabling easy endpoint expansion and seamless integration for various organizational needs.
As soon as we need to add somebody, we just add them to NinjaOne, and then we have a script set up where it automatically deploys and adds them to whichever group we need.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
BigID is reliable with effective training, though issues exist with visibility and tagging; expected to improve over time.
Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is highly stable, integrating well with AWS, with occasional UI issues but rare downtime.
BigID is generally stable, however, there is a noted issue with bulk tagging that can affect scan results.
In my experience, there has been 100 percent uptime.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The cloud console is very resilient.
 

Room For Improvement

BigID users seek enhanced data governance, security features, classifiers, automation, and interface improvements, with better consent management and large export handling.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security needs enhancements in search, affordability, integrations, user interface, and accurate alerts.
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.
I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management.
If I had to ask for anything to make it easier, it would be signed images that are GPG signed and a public repository where we can get the bits from.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
 

Setup Cost

BigID offers modular pricing based on capacity, valued for advanced features in data-intensive sectors like healthcare and technology.
SentinelOne Singularity offers competitive, flexible pricing yet may become costly for large enterprises, challenging smaller businesses.
BigID might be expensive as it involves various paid services, like data retention and graphic rights management.
The pricing is competitive in the market, however, I need to ask for the right price.
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.
The price was very, very important to us, and it came down to the price when we were doing our evaluations WatchGuard and SentinelOne.
Covering our 50,000 endpoints would have nearly bankrupted most security programs, even well-funded ones like ours.
 

Valuable Features

BigID provides user-friendly data discovery, classification, and governance with advanced AI tools, enhancing security and compliance across data sources.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers intuitive deployment, advanced threat detection, automated remediation, and easy integration to enhance cybersecurity efficiency.
One of the best features of BigID is its strength in data discovery and governance.
The most valuable feature of BigID is its large number of classifiers, which allow us to scan for specific data such as SSN numbers.
The real-time detection and response capabilities of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud impressive because it is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to determine what is normal and what is abnormal and can lock down any virus it may encounter.
We were shown how ransomware can be immediately stopped in real-time. That was huge.
Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.

Featured Reviews

Ankita Sabale - PeerSpot reviewer
Predefined classifiers in place support sensitive data scanning effectively
BigID does not currently support Kerberos authentication for DataStax. On the user interface, analyzing true and false positives can be challenging, as I can only view 2,000 characters at a time. When tagging scan results, all objects get tagged without the option to untag specific ones. This requires reverting changes through MongoDB, which can result in data loss.
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.
