Featured Reviews

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.
ChennaRao Vemula - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances security posture with cost efficiency and powerful APIs
We have been using it for almost four years. We are one of the top first customers who implemented it. It's a cloud security solution With this tool, we have a neat security posture at least in terms of securing our environment. It helps us handle all the misconfigurations, and we do day-to-day…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow it to identify and respond to threats in real time."
"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"My overall product rating is ten out of ten."
"The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."
"The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."
"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers."
"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system."
"It runs every hour and has been reliable since I started."
"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."
"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
 

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security could be improved with easier integrations to the Singularity Data Lake, particularly for various vendors."
"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 price is on the higher side. The dashboard can be more detailed."
"A beneficial improvement for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"I request that SentinelOne investigate this false positive, as SentinelOne has a higher false positive rate than other XDR solutions."
"We had a glitch in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security where it fed us false positives in the past."
"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."
"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."
"The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, the visibility is not immediately available for the environment. We have the native servers that come with the solutions, but we cannot see them in the Check Point log. Another issue is with the integrated file monitoring. It would make sense to have stuff like file integrity monitoring and malware scanning available within this module because we don't want to integrate another product."
"We want to be able to customize the solution more in order to meet the needs of our company."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"I don't have any notes for improvements."
"Automatic remediation requires read/write access. When providing read/write access to third-party applications, this can add risk. It should have some options of triggering API calls to the cloud platform, which in turn, can make the required changes."
"Check Point must provide a multi-cloud facility where AWS, Azure, and GCP can seamlessly work together and display posture in an integrated manner."
"It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"The login piece needs improvement."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheap."
"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."
"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."
"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."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"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."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."
"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."
