Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.7
GitLab boosts ROI by enhancing DevOps efficiency, reducing deployment time, and integrating securely with tools, improving user satisfaction.
Sentiment score
7.8
Organizations gain productivity, save time and resources, and reduce costs by 30-80% with SentinelOne Cloud Security's features.
Migrating to GitLab is bringing time-saving benefits, and everything is easier to automate.
We have saved time significantly, reducing deployment time from four hours to five minutes per deployment.
The detailed information PingSafe gives about how to fix vulnerabilities reduces the time spent on remediation by about 70 to 80 percent.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Cloud Native Security does offer ROI.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.6
GitLab support varies; premium users enjoy better assistance, while others rely on community forums or internal teams for help.
Sentiment score
7.8
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud's support team is responsive and knowledgeable, though response time inconsistencies occasionally persist, earning high satisfaction.
We have rarely needed to escalate issues to technical support since GitLab usually runs seamlessly.
I have interacted with architects for some advice during the implementation, and they were prompt in their response.
I have had meetings where they taught me, explained things, and provided guidance for starting from scratch.
When we send an email, they respond quickly and proactively provide solutions.
They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
GitLab scales well, especially with containers and enterprise use, though smaller teams find scalability mixed.
Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud offers scalable, easily integrated security solutions for diverse needs, supporting AWS and Azure with seamless expansion.
It has all the features required for our coding and deployment needs, which makes it scalable to our changing requirements.
We're transitioning to OpenShift for future scalability with increased user numbers.
For scaling, other deployment options from GitLab's side need to be adopted.
I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Scalability is no longer a concern because Cloud Native Security is a fully cloud-based resource.
I would rate the scalability of PingSafe 10 out of 10.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
GitLab is stable and reliable, highly rated by users, but may slow under heavy load and complex projects.
Sentiment score
8.2
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is stable and reliable, with occasional UI lags but generally praised for consistent performance.
I have not encountered any performance or stability issues with GitLab so far.
The updates are frequent and demanding, happening at least once a week due to security reasons.
We raised a request with GitLab support, but they were unable to help because they could not find the root cause of what went wrong.
It's a reliable solution that the organization is increasingly adopting for its robust features and security.
We contacted Cloud Native Security, and they addressed it in a day.
The only downtime we had was when switching from V1 to V2 but it was smooth.
 

Room For Improvement

GitLab users seek better AWS/Jira integration, enhanced CI/CD features, improved documentation, more affordable pricing, and streamlined navigation.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security needs enhancements in affordability, integration, support, customization, documentation, and performance for improved user experience.
It would be beneficial to have a user-friendly interface for setting up these configurations, instead of just writing YAML files.
It is essential to conduct proper testing, such as unit tests and code coverage, within the SDLC pipelines.
GitLab can improve its user interface to make conflict resolution more user-friendly.
If they can merge Kubernetes Security with other modules related to Kubernetes, that would help us to get more modules in the current subscription.
As organizations move to the cloud, a cloud posture management tool that offers complete cloud visibility becomes crucial for maintaining compliance.
I would also like to see Cloud Native Security offer APIs that allow us to directly build dashboards within the platform.
 

Setup Cost

GitLab offers a free version and paid tiers, with prices ranging from reasonable to expensive based on user needs.
SentinelOne Singularity is competitively priced but perceived as costly for larger deployments and possibly unsuitable for smaller businesses.
Even when working in other small organizations, we opted for GitLab as it was cost-efficient.
The pricing of GitLab is reasonable, aligning with what I consider to be average compared to competitors.
The price is high, and it limits user accessibility.
I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year.
There are some tools that are double the cost of Cloud Native Security.
I recall Cloud Native Security charging a slightly higher premium previously.
 

Valuable Features

GitLab enhances productivity with CI/CD, code review, and automation, supporting seamless collaboration and fast, secure deployments.
SentinelOne excels in ease of use, real-time detection, automated remediation, and seamless integration, enhancing security operations efficiently.
As we implement automated testing and DevSecOps, it speeds up the process by forty to sixty percent.
The Ultimate version offers enhanced features for security scanning through DAST and SAST analysis, which have greatly benefitted our project workflow.
By integrating GitLab as a DevOps platform, we have enhanced agility, improved our time to market, and different teams can work collaboratively on various projects.
This helps visualize potential attack paths and even suggests attack paths a malicious actor might take.
The infrastructure-as-code feature is helpful for discovering open ports in some of the modules.
This tool has been helpful for us. It allows us to search for vulnerabilities and provides evidence directly on the screen.

Featured Reviews

Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements
The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab are highly valuable. Another important feature is the single source of repository, allowing efficient repository management and source code management. GitLab provides manageability by allowing us to manage source code effectively through separate repositories. Additionally, GitLab enables the creation of individual CI/CD pipelines for each repository, making software more agile. By integrating GitLab as a DevOps platform, we have enhanced agility, improved our time to market, and different teams can work collaboratively on various projects.
Ritesh P. - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
