Featured Reviews

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.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
ChennaRao Vemula - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances security posture with cost efficiency and powerful APIs
We have been using it for almost four years. We are one of the top first customers who implemented it. It's a cloud security solution With this tool, we have a neat security posture at least in terms of securing our environment. It helps us handle all the misconfigurations, and we do day-to-day…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"The GUI is one of the best features. Audit reports and documentation for alerts are also valuable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers comprehensive security posture management."
"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."
"We liked the search bar in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"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."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"It runs every hour and has been reliable since I started."
"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."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
 

Cons

"A beneficial improvement for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security."
"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."
"We don't get any notifications from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security when the clusters are down."
"I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. The alert used to come after about three and a half hours. It used to take that long to generate the alert about the vulnerability in my system. If a hacker attacks a system and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes three to four hours to generate an alert, it will not be beneficial for the company. It would be helpful if we get the alert in five to ten minutes."
"The Infrastructure as Code service available in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and the services available in AWS cloud security can be merged so that we can get the security data directly from AWS cloud in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. This way, all the data related to security will be in one single place. Currently, we have to check a couple of things on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and we have to validate that same data on the AWS Cloud to be sure. If they can collaborate like that, it will be great."
"The cost has the potential for improvement."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"The login piece needs improvement."
"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."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheap."
"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."
"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Its price is moderate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty 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."
"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."
"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
