Senior Manager at ICICI Lombard

It's more scalable and flexible than our previous solution because we don't need to install any agents

The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity. For example, it might highlight an exposed AWS encryption key, a critical compliance issue, but it isn't tagged as a high-risk problem. That only happens about 10 percent of the time. It shows a true positive 80-90 percent of the time.

It's a highly mature, competitively priced solution that provides total visibility into your ecosystem. FORTRA's Alert Logic has the only Cybersecurity Platform that integrates XDR+WAF+VM+DLP in one.

Alert Logic offers total visibility into the client's IT ecosystem. The solution's intrusion detection system inspects 100 percent of the network packets and installs universal agents on all physical and virtual servers for log collection. Alert Logic also aggregates logs of the client's various 3rd Party security tools into a single pane of glass. All of the analytics from those data feeds got to a 24/7 SOC with sophisticated resources. Alert Logic has massive threat intelligence resources to provide additional context to the incident response declarations. They do all the heavy lifting for clients who lack the technology and resources to operate their own SOC. The client is solely responsible for the incident response component. The macro analytics resides on Alert Logic's cloud. You have the ECM response and business application team on the client side. Everything works in tandem, which is the only way you can deal with the advanced threats we face today, especially the ransomware families. If you don't respond in minutes, you're in trouble.

Real-time insights have reduced false positives and improved cross-team collaboration

I find the UX/UI to be comfortable. The insights that it brings us are related to the business logic of our company, which is important. If something is flagged as a critical alert, this indicates that it must be observed closely. We have used the real-time monitoring feature of Sweet Security, and this specific solution has given us real detection that helps us find what is actually important against what is not important. It saves us a lot of investigation time that isn't required anymore. It's a very good product, I'm happy we have it. We looked into the CPU consumption and it's the lowest against the benchmark. The time savings from Sweet Security have varied, but the impact has been significant. It has reduced the need for back-and-forth discussions between teams such as Security, DevOps, and R&D. It only flags the important and critical risks. It saves developers time from looking into fixes for false positives. We use the customizable dashboards in Sweet Security. These dashboards have helped in managing our security posture by presenting all the relevant information that the security team needs to see. The correlation between the information is very efficient. They made a lot of improvements to this over the last year. It's a lot better now than it was a year ago. The insights are good. The reporting is very good because we can customize it to what we actually want to see. The value of having real-time visibility in our cloud environment with Sweet Security changes everything because it differentiates between identifying and reacting to something that is not really a risk and something that is truly a risk that needs to be treated. Sweet Security has had a big impact on mitigating risks and aiding development.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily."

"I would rate their support a ten out of ten."

"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has saved up to 50 percent in engineering time."

"The offensive security where they do a fix is valuable. They go to a misconfiguration and provide detailed alerts on what could be there. They also provide a remediation feature where if we give the permission, they can also go and fix the issue."

"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security provides us with better security detection and more visibility. It is another resource that we can use to detect vulnerabilities in our company's systems. For example, it can help us detect new file processes that we are not familiar with, which could be used by attackers to exploit our systems. Singularity Cloud Workload Security can also help us diagnose and analyze data to determine whether it is malicious or not. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is like another pair of eyes that can help us protect our systems from cyberattacks."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."

"It improves our security. Before, we didn't have anything scanning our containers. We had software scanning all the physical servers, but we had nothing to scan our containers. With Alert Logic, we can do that."

"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."

"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."

"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."

"The installation and configuration were slick."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"The most valuable aspect of Alert Logic is its technology platform. They have SOCs in the US and Europe, giving them global visibility of the threat landscape. They detect and respond to threats in minutes. Their biggest value is human expertise. You're being attacked by a human, and you cannot respond to it unless you have a human on the other side. They have the human and technological resources to respond."

More Fortra's Alert Logic MDR pros

"Before we had Sweet Security, upon any type of detection of activity, we needed to conduct lots of investigations in different platforms and logs until we could build the larger picture, but once we inserted Sweet Security, we are able to actually see each and every request being made from the application level towards the infrastructure, making it much easier and reducing the time for an analyst to understand what's really happening."

"The value we see from having real-time visibility into our cloud environment is significant, as Sweet Security serves as our eyes and ears inside AWS, telling us what we are doing wrong so we can fix it."

"The value of having real-time visibility in our cloud environment with Sweet Security changes everything because it differentiates between identifying and reacting to something that is not really a risk and something that is truly a risk that needs to be treated."

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."

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

"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."

"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."

"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."

"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."

"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."

"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance."

"I would like to see it do initial scans and start capturing data, which it will truly analyze, not just be a reporting system saying, "Here is an email. Here is an email. Here is an email.""

"The setup process was complex."

"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."

"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."

"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."

"Could be more of an endpoint protector."

"I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there. Right now, it is a bit limited."

More Fortra's Alert Logic MDR cons

"There was something a year ago that caused a production issue in my company, but they fixed it within an hour."

"The option to run specific playbooks through Sweet Security platform would help us a lot, but these must be fully customizable."

"One area for improvement could be the alerts, as we have an issue with the alert time, the time it takes for the system to send the alert, but besides that, there is nothing special."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."

"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."

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

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."

"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."

"It was reasonable pricing for me."

"PingSafe is fairly priced."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"Our ROI would probably be zero. We don't even use it. It sits in there. We get emails and just delete them. Around the world, we don't even use it."

"Its pricing is very reasonable considering what you get for what you pay. There is quite a good value there. Its licensing is also very logical. They've got the licensing price points at a reasonable level. It is on a monthly license but a yearly contract. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."

"Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."

"Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
