Security Engineer at HashXpert

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.

Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts

Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.

Security Consultant at HCLSoftware

Security posture has improved with automated insights but reporting and integrations still need work

The best feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center is that it is flexible to integrate with several third-party tools or services, and it is more customized. For example, it is already giving a misconfiguration and the vulnerability, and if somebody wants to do some in-depth analysis for patterns such as metrics, they can export the continuous log on the spot with that tool. From an integration point of view, I would say it is more customized with different tools. The asset discovery feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center enhances my security strategy because, nowadays, data sensitivity and data privacy are very important, and using some DLP utility, I can classify and set up rules to generate reports based on the classification in their asset discovery. This can also include data classification on Google storage buckets, and overall, Google Cloud Security Command Center has that information, which can be used for various analyses or alerts. It is very important for compliance assessment because every business is global and connects with different geographical locations, meaning each country has its own regulatory systems and internal compliance policies. Google Cloud Security Command Center has the feature to set up security postures based on which resources or assets inside Google Cloud can be marked as compliant or non-compliant, giving a risk score for immediate reporting to higher management or CISO, making it very helpful in terms of security, risk, and compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cooperative nature of SentinelOne has influenced our decision not to shift."

"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."

"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."

"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."

"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."

"Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature is the notification system, providing real-time alerts and comparisons crucial for maintaining security."

"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Protection, offering more visibility and protection across our cloud environment."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

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

"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."

"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has nearly saved us some amount, though I am not exactly sure of the numbers since the sales team handles the financial side, and what we have gained from CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is that EC2 downtime has been prevented and time has been saved considerably, around eight to ten hours per week through automatic onboarding and centralized visibility."

"The scalability of the product has been great."

"Our security has been significantly increased and it is pretty stable in our environment, which is one thing that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security literally gave us with a positive impact and makes it a good investment."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

"I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Security Command Center to others."

"It simplifies compliance efforts."

"The compliance reporting feature helped us maintain a baseline of compliance within the information security policies."

"Most people use the threat detection dashboard."

Cons

"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."

"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."

"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."

"I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved."

"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."

"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."

"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."

"We use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and also SentinelOne. If SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security integrated some of the endpoint security features of SentinelOne, it would be the perfect one-stop solution for everything. We wouldn't need to switch between the products. At my organization, I am responsible for endpoint security and vulnerability management. Integrating both functions into one application would be ideal because I could see all the alerts, heat maps, and reports in one console."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."

"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."

"The recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience."

"I suggest improvements for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security in areas including vulnerability management and a more straightforward agent troubleshooting process."

"The SIEM needs to be more developed."

"The only challenge lies in token verification."

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

"The recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

"Visibility can be improved along with automation."

"There is definitely room for improvement in Google Cloud Security Command Center. While the functionality is very native, compared to third-party tools that offer a variety of features for easy integrations and custom KPIs, Google Cloud Security Command Center lacks some of these functionalities, requiring complex workarounds for custom reporting, and given that customers often use hybrid environments, having a broader perspective is necessary for integration."

"The AI capabilities have been heavily promoted, but I haven't seen a significant impact."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."

"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."

"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."

"PingSafe is fairly priced."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."

"It's an expensive product"

"It is expensive, but it adds value."

"Its price is moderate."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"Initially, it used to be relatively expensive, starting at around four or five hundred dollars."
