Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation
I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Unified data access has boosted analytics speed but still needs better governance and cost control
The best feature that Cloudanix offers is the unified data access layer connecting multiple sources, allowing access to all data from one place. It ensures real-time sync data across systems on-demand, keeping data up to date without manual export. It has cross-platform compatibility across AWS, Azure, GCP databases, and SaaS applications, supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and simplifies data queries by letting users query multiple sources as if they are one instance, reducing the need for complex ETL pipelines. The best feature of Cloudanix is the ability to unify distributed data sources into a single, scalable, and easy-to-query layer for faster analytics and simple data management. I have seen specific outcomes and metrics such as reducing the time spent on stitching data sets from multiple systems, where queries now run directly across the connected layer. The analysis time drops from thirty to sixty minutes. Reporting cycles improve, with reports generated five times faster. I reduce engineering data team workload by thirty to fifty percent fewer ad hoc data extraction requests and achieve lower infrastructure and pipeline costs, reaching a ten to thirty percent cost saving in data pipelines and ETL maintenance. Moreover, improved decision speed leads to reduction in the decision cycle from days to hours, enhancing data consistency with fewer discrepancies between reports. For example, before Cloudanix, an analyst spent three hours pulling data from three systems and another two hours cleaning and joining it. After using Cloudanix, the same analysis can be done with one unified query that gets results in a minute, allowing focus to shift to interpretation instead of preparation. Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources.

Daily endpoint monitoring has improved investigations and saved time but detection rules still need tuning
It is important to note that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec's features are not 100% precise, but I find about 70% of the time it is satisfactory. I would like to suggest that you improve it to be more precise, ideally making it 100% if possible. Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives. Additionally, the traditional rules should be updated, as this is a main point worth mentioning since we spend a lot of time fine-tuning these traditional rules. I suggest improving the legacy detection rules. If there are any authentication cases, such as impossible travel activity where a user has their SharePoint hosted in a different location, Rapid7 can often trigger alerts, creating confusion as we cannot fine-tune it properly. Another issue is with honeypot access. We sometimes lack necessary logs because Defender's advanced threat protection scanning gets detected as honeypot activity by Rapid7, leading to annoying and noisy alerts that we need to constantly close. If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"The features that stand out are threat detection using advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning, helping to identify and respond to threats in real-time."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."
"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."
"The best features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are that it is user friendly and its user interface is very easy to understand."
"Visibility is the most important aspect."
"Choosing Cloudanix has proven very efficient and intuitive, and it remains easy to handle compared to other products available in the market."
"Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"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."
"Since implementing Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, manual cloud security checks have been reduced by around forty to fifty percent, and mean time to resolve misconfigurations has dropped from several hours to under thirty minutes on average, significantly improving efficiency and client confidence."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec impacts the organization positively by acting as a shield against hackers and ransomware, providing effective protection to data and infrastructure."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec has helped us save thirty percent time in our log retrievals, and it completely changed log searching, making it really fast when we search for logs, with no prior knowledge required."
"The fastest scanning is the best feature Rapid7 InsightCloudSec offers, helping me respond to threats quickly in my daily operations."
 

Cons

"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."
"A beneficial improvement for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"It sometimes produces a high number of false positive alerts."
"The resolution suggestions could be better, and the compliance features could be more customizable for Indian regulations. Overall, the compliance aspects are good. It gives us a comprehensive list, and its feedback is enough to bring us into compliance with regulations, but it doesn't give us the specific objects."
"For vulnerabilities, they are showing CVE ID. The naming convention should be better so that it indicates the container where a vulnerability is present. Currently, they are only showing CVE ID, but the same CVE ID might be present in multiple containers. We would like to have the container name so that we can easily fix the issue."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"The documentation could be better."
"The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement."
"Costs are flexible but can become unpredictable if query volume grows quickly."
"Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization."
"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."
"Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"The platform could be improved with more customizable dashboards and reporting."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec needs to provide more granular search capabilities, such as the ability to search back the last three months."
"For a first-time user who starts using Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, it is somewhat complicated to navigate through the UI and search for logs or vulnerabilities, so this is one aspect that could be improved."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"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."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
