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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"The best features we value in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security include compliance monitoring features, as we are a frequently audited company. They provide reports with compliance scores, showing how well we meet certain regulatory standards, such as HIPAA, and we can show our compliance as a percentage."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"The UI and the widgets are what I personally appreciate. I find it easy to use."
"The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."
"We like the GSL Builder feature. When you're running a security operations center, you spend a lot of time monitoring endpoint activity to ensure there is no malicious traffic or anonymous access in the environment. The GSL Builder is helpful for deep investigations of a particular reason for an incident. You can use it to get more information."
"The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"Assets Management as it provide complete visibility of our workload inkling EC2 instance or Serverless"
"All of the features are very useful in today's market."
"This platform has allowed us to collect data from multiple sources, centralizing everything under a single source."
"It's helped with misconfigurations."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
 

Cons

"We repeatedly get alerts on the tool dashboard that we've already solved on our end, but they still appear. That is somewhat irritating."
"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"Their search feature could be better."
"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"A beneficial improvement for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"The software configurations theory is complicated, and without proper planning and a well-skilled technical team, it cannot perform its tasks properly."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"One feature of the product that I would like to enhance is the possibility to connect to vulnerability management platforms so that the issues that emerge from the scans can then be ingested directly into the vulnerability management process."
"I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."
"Sometimes, the solution provides us with false alerts of vulnerabilities that are not present in our cloud environment."
"Check Point tools need to improve the latency in the portal since they take a long time to load."
"Integration could be improved."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."
"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"Everything in this field is very expensive."
"Its price is very fair."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"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."
"The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."
