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.

Saif Ullah Khan

Security Engineer at ebryx

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.

Antonio Scola

Owner at SUNLIT TECHNOLOGIES

Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration

I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is better than other vendors because we get all the cloud-related, data center-related information."

"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."

"The mean time to detect has been reduced."

"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."

"It has a user-friendly dashboard that I can access without any difficulty."

"All the features we use are equal and get the job done."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."

"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."

"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."

"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."

"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."

"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"

"The initial setup is easy ."

"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

"The analytical and reporting capabilities are pretty straightforward and show every transaction and major attempt to attack the application in the cloud."

"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."

"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."

"Tenable Cloud Security excels in vulnerability detection, one of its strongest features. Another valuable feature is software composition analysis, which highlights and automates the detection of security flaws. Additionally, their knowledge base is excellent; if anything goes wrong, they provide clear guidance on what needs to be done to address specific vulnerabilities."

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Singularity Cloud Security currently lacks a break-glass account function, which is a critical component for implementing Single Sign-On as it allows for regaining access in emergencies."

"Their search feature could be better."

"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."

"After closing an alert in Cloud Native Security, it still shows as unresolved."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"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."

"The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control"

"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."

"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."

"The tool is expensive."

"The tool's scalability is low."

"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."

"The only challenge lies in token verification."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."

"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"In my experience, Tenable Cloud Security is not very stable."

"The product must provide more features."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

"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."

"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"

"It was reasonable pricing for me."

"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."

"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."

"The pricing tends to be high."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."

"Its price is moderate."

"It is expensive, but it adds value."

"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

"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."

"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."

"The price is not too high, it is okay."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The tool's pricing is fair."
