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.
Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"As a frequently audited company, we value SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's compliance monitoring features. They give us a report with a compliance score for how well we meet certain regulatory standards, like HIPAA. We can show our compliance as a percentage. It's also a way to show that we are serious about security."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"Assets Management as it provide complete visibility of our workload inkling EC2 instance or Serverless"
"The solution is scalable."
"The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"CloudGuard's best feature is real-time detection. We can detect incidents and vulnerabilities in our code with one click."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to apply common tools across all accounts."
"Good interface and visibility."
"The feature that I value the most about Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP is the possibility of checking compliance with different standards. This compliance check can be performed for each subscription or service that we have on all the different cloud providers that we use."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
 

Cons

"I would like additional integrations."
"It took us a while to configure the software to work well in this type of environment, as the support documents were not always clear."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."
"When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."
"We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."
"The main issue that we found with Dome9 is that we have a default rule set with better recommendations that we want to use. So, you do a clone of that rule set, then you do some tweaks and customizations, but there is a problem. When they activate the default rule set with the recommendations and new security measures, it doesn't apply the new security measures to your clones profile. Therefore, you need to clone the profile again. We are already writing a report to Check Point."
"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."
"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"Adding a feature that allows me to easily identify the changes that have been made to the CIS benchmark and update my own policy accordingly would be a valuable addition to Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management."
"When rules change, it messes up the remediation. They haven't found a fix for that yet. The remediation rule goes into limbo. It's an architectural design flaw within their end compliance engine—a serious bug."
"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"The false positives can be annoying at times."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"The tool could give us more templates so that people who are not updated with the platform can easily get acquainted with how to secure and utilize the product more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
"Its price is very fair."
"The price is on the higher end."
"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
"The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"It's an expensive product"
