Sreeraj Mohandas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Bharath Nadar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
Centralized host monitoring has reduced operational overhead and provides trusted dashboards
Sysdig Monitor could be improved, particularly regarding application monitoring. There are specific areas or features where improvement is needed, specifically in application-level monitoring. While other monitoring solutions provide APM capabilities, Sysdig Monitor does not and targets only host-based monitoring. Many applications require APM support, and we want to introduce OpenTelemetry into some applications to gain more insights, but with Sysdig Monitor, we could not implement this functionality, so we have to opt for solutions from other vendors for those applications. Beyond the APM and OpenTelemetry support limitations, I would appreciate seeing Sysdig Monitor offer a unified solution for all monitoring needs, including logging as well, eventually bringing whole observability under one roof. That would be ideal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, I appreciate the monitoring features and the report with the compliance score."
"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
"Cloud Security has provided a single view to observe all workloads, prioritization for handling cloud assets, and reduced noise by distinguishing false positives effectively."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is excellent, and I highly recommend it."
"SentinelOne is far superior to our previous solution, Accops, due to its seamless updates, effortless maintenance, and user-friendly interface and dashboard."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has significantly improved our risk posture."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly and provides detection transparency, allowing us to present real-time documentation to our executives clearly explaining any detected issues."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing false positives and enhancing security day by day; after testing it on 100 to 200 systems, we convinced the client to deploy it across 6,000 workstations and over 500 servers."
"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."
"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."
"Sysdig Monitor has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing operational costs and improving our ability to monitor our systems effectively."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like first class citizens."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"Sysdig Monitor impressed me with its in-depth visibility into my infrastructure."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"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 tool is expensive."
"In terms of improvement, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could expand into the remediation path."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"Sysdig Monitor could be improved, particularly regarding application monitoring."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
"I had difficulty installing Sysdig Monitor on Windows."
"It needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."
"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 priced reasonably for our workload."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"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"
"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"Its price is moderate."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"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."
"Sysdig Monitor is not expensive."
