Very good for collaboration on software projects
We use GitHub for code repository alongside Bitbucket GitHub is very good for collaboration on software projects. We prefer Bitbucket for commercial use, while GitHub is used for open source. You can get the differences, history of changes, and version control for various pull requests. You can…
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"The product has a good UI. It's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available. The two-factor authentication security is another valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the source code management. It's very helpful and it's a great product."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"The most valuable features are GitHub Actions for triggering workflows, GitHub Secrets for saving credentials without needing a third-party service, and the UI for identifying errors in the code when we commit."
"GitHub is easy, secure, and widely documented."
"GitHub Actions, specifically in the DevOps field, have been extremely valuable."
"The Projects Tab, which shows you the todo list and the progress for projects, is very helpful."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has saved up to 50 percent in engineering time."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers comprehensive security posture management."
"The most valuable aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are its alerting system and the remediation guidance it provides."
"Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
 

Cons

"There can be conflict issues when two developers work on the same file or line of code, and it would be great to see that improved, possibly with an AI solution."
"I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product."
"The development team pushes the code into a repository, and the CI/CD pipeline will perform the build. We need open-source libraries to perform the builds. It would be helpful to have the ability to link to open-source libraries like npm libraries. I don't know if GitHub Actions provides this. I would like to see that in GitHub Actions if they don't."
"The integration with Visual Studio Code could be more streamlined."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
"One thing GitHub could do is probably the same thing as what Sourcetree does. When solving merge conflicts, it would be helpful to have tooltips within the actions to know what changes could happen next when resolving a conflict."
"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"The storage for this solution could be improved."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"There is room for improvement in application security posture management features, and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"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."
"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."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"It's cheaper than Bitbucket."
"Regarding pricing, I'd rate it eight out of ten. It's decent and not too expensive, and small businesses can also afford it. With AWS taking CodeCommit out of the market, I don't see many competitors for small companies in terms of GitHub."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
