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.
Md. Olid Hasan Bhuiyan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a good view of the sequence and offers in-depth visibility into my infrastructure
I needed to identify the sequence and frequency of system calls for a specific system. Sysdig provided this information readily. However, analyzing frequency proved more challenging. As far as I know, Sysdig Monitor lacks functionality to directly obtain system call frequency for certain files. Therefore, I had to capture a screenshot of the relevant data from Sysdig Monitor and then manually extract the text. A built-in Sysdig feature to retrieve system call frequency for specific website actions would greatly enhance its usefulness. I had difficulty installing Sysdig Monitor on Windows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow it to identify and respond to threats in real time."
"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, I appreciate the monitoring features and the report with the compliance score."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"The cooperative nature of SentinelOne has influenced our decision not to shift."
"We mostly use alerts. That has been pretty good. If we use the alert system from Amazon, it is much costlier to us, so we use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"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."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"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."
 

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSSPM tool, but the CSC CWPP features need improvement."
"The documentation that I use for the initial setup can be more detailed or written in a more user-friendly language to avoid troubles."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"The cost has the potential for improvement."
"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The tool is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
""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."
"I had difficulty installing Sysdig Monitor on Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"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."
"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 is expensive, but it adds value."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"Its price is moderate."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"It's an expensive product"
"Sysdig Monitor is not expensive."
