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.

Owner at SUNLIT TECHNOLOGIES

Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration

I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.

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

"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."

"The key strength of Singularity Cloud Security lies in its ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in our cloud accounts and identify suspicious activity that warrants further investigation."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is better than other vendors because we get all the cloud-related, data center-related information."

"It saves us time based on savings on manual activities."

"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable scalability suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises."

"The tool identifies issues quickly."

"Cloud Native Security helps us discover vulnerabilities in a cloud environment like open ports that allow people to attack our environment. If someone unintentionally opens a port, we are exposed. Cloud Native Security alerts us so we can remediate the problem. We can also automate it so that Cloud Native Security will fix it."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"

"Tenable Cloud Security excels in vulnerability detection, one of its strongest features. Another valuable feature is software composition analysis, which highlights and automates the detection of security flaws. Additionally, their knowledge base is excellent; if anything goes wrong, they provide clear guidance on what needs to be done to address specific vulnerabilities."

"The analytical and reporting capabilities are pretty straightforward and show every transaction and major attempt to attack the application in the cloud."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."

"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

"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."

"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."

"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."

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

"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."

"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."

"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."

"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."

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

"There should be more documentation about the product."

"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."

"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."

"The product must provide more features."

"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."

"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product."

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

"Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment."

"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."

"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."

"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."

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."

"In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate."

"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."

"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."

More Wiz cons

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."

"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."
