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.
Yusuf-Hashmi - PeerSpot reviewer
It helps you catch misconfigurations before they go into a production environment where they're harder to deal with
They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed. Asset visibility is also critical. While Tenable provides visibility into containers, it could be done much better. Compliance is one of the most crucial aspects of container security. It should be more customizable. For example, I would like a rating system where Tenable reports a risk score for each container based on user-defined metrics, such as severity, activity, or compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"The offensive security where they do a fix is valuable. They go to a misconfiguration and provide detailed alerts on what could be there. They also provide a remediation feature where if we give the permission, they can also go and fix the issue."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has significantly improved our risk posture."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"The GUI is one of the best features. Audit reports and documentation for alerts are also valuable."
"We know the vulnerability in advance, so we can take some action for that vulnerability."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"CloudGuard's best feature is real-time detection. We can detect incidents and vulnerabilities in our code with one click."
"All of the features are very useful in today's market."
"Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its reporting capabilities for aggregating vulnerability information and scoring."
"The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."
"Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing."
"The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting."
"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature."
"Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security."
"Tenable.io detects misconfiguration when you deploy a Docker or Kubernetes container. It's much better to remedy these issues during deployment instead of waiting until the container is already in the production environment."
"It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."
"The solution shows you the exploitable vulnerabilities and helps you prioritize."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."
 

Cons

"When we get a new finding from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."
"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"Bugs need to be disclosed quickly."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"We had a glitch in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security where it fed us false positives in the past."
"Once all components, including the cloud piece and container runtime piece, integrate further and incorporate an AI layer for better comprehension, it will greatly enhance the utility of Singularity Cloud Security."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"The user interface needs work."
"Check Point tools need to improve the latency in the portal since they take a long time to load."
"There are opportunities for improvement that can be addressed through a roadmap."
"The false positives can be annoying at times."
"I would like CloudGuard's pricing to be cheaper, but I think that's impossible. The pricing is the only thing I think they can improve."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"Sometimes, the solution provides us with false alerts of vulnerabilities that are not present in our cloud environment."
"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."
"Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability."
"They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed."
"The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners."
"I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"The initial setup is highly complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."
"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."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"The license fee is high."
"The licensing part still needs some work. The issue that I have is that we do not use all the services in the cloud, but sometimes, CloudGuard identifies them as an asset."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is neither cheap nor very expensive."
"The product does not operate on a pay-per-license model."
"I rate the product’s pricing a six out of ten."
"It's best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders."
