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.

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.

Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture

The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."

"The visibility SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."

"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."

"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."

"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."

"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."

"It saves time, makes your environment more secure, and improves compliance. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security helps with audits, ensuring that you are following best practices for cloud security. You don't need to be an expert to use it and improve your security."

"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"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."

"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."

"The scalability of the product has been great."

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

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

"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."

"Technical support is helpful."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."

"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."

"The granularity of visibility that the platform provides is the most valuable aspect."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."

"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."

"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"We don't get any notifications from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security when the clusters are down."

"The documentation could be better."

"In version 2, a lot of rules have been deployed for Kubernetes security and CDR, which makes a lot of issues of critical severity, whereas they are not critical or of high severity. There is a mismatch of severities."

"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."

"I would like additional integrations."

"One potential drawback is the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, which may be prohibitive for smaller businesses or startups, particularly those in regions with lower average incomes, such as India."

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

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The SIEM needs to be more developed."

"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."

"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."

"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."

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

"The tool is expensive."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."

"The pricing is very high and should be improved."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."

"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."

"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."

"I cannot recommend Wiz to others until I have a clear understanding of its full capacity and benefits."

"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."

"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."

"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."

"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."

"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."

"It is cheap."

"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."

"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

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

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

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

"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."

"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."

"Its price is moderate."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."

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

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."
