Find out in this report how the two AI Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Time saved is a relevant metric; it used to take us a week, but now it takes us only a day.
I have seen a return on investment with Kong Konnect, as it helps manage security very well, allows for faster API deployments saving developer time, and reduces salary costs with better uptime and minimal downtime, thus preventing potential business loss.
I have seen the scalability of being able to manage 80 to 100-plus teams with a small team of about three or four people.
After implementing SentinelOne, it takes about five to seven minutes.
Our ability to get in and review our vulnerability stance, whether daily, monthly, weekly, or whatever it might be, has drastically improved over our prior provider.
It has saved us more than 50% of our time.
Technical support from Proofpoint was absolutely excellent.
When I raise an incident or a support ticket, it gets answered in four hours.
They offer twenty-four-hour support with SLA-based response times.
Having a reliable team ready and willing to assist with any issues is essential.
Throughout the migration, they remained available for several hours without complaint, providing assistance at every step.
In my experience, I have never encountered a junior person or someone without knowledge coming into support from SentinelOne.
The platform is fully scalable, providing various ways to manage data planes or runtimes.
Kong Konnect's scalability is very high, handles growth well, and since it is a stateless gateway, it scales easily in Kubernetes using horizontal scaling.
Kong Konnect is the control plane, and there is the ability to add more teams and more control planes based on the number of teams you have onboarding.
The SentinelOne Singularity Cloud exhibits high scalability.
We've automated in our MDM so any device that we start in our MDM automatically installs SentinelOne.
It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.
It was very fast, and we did not experience any interruptions.
Kong Konnect is very stable with no issues regarding reliability in my experience.
I've seen them run at major scale in large companies across the whole of Europe.
I would rate the stability of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a 10 because as of now we have not faced any stability issues.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security operates consistently, and that is how a product should work—you should not have to worry about it.
SentinelOne Singularity Cloud is incredibly reliable.
The licensing model could be simplified, especially in how they charge and track usage.
When comparing documentation, Kong's documentation is not on par with Google, Amazon, or other cloud providers.
Token integration presents challenges and has implementation complexities that need addressing.
It gives our management a false impression of there being no open incidents over that period.
A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding.
I feel there is room for improvement in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, particularly in creating custom dashboards since it only has a default dashboard feature, and a capability for creating custom dashboards would help us a lot as analysts.
Pricing was the issue as it becomes very expensive due to the nature of local circumstances.
I wouldn't say that the setup cost is much more compared to using any other product.
While the pricing model isn't very clear on how usage is tracked, the initial cost and setup for using Kong Konnect are reasonable.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning.
I was able to consolidate two security vendors into one by switching to SentinelOne, and I now pay less than I did for either of them.
The documentation is excellent, and it includes a developer portal, which helps create a common distribution channel for APIs within and outside the enterprise.
When I mention scalability, it means that when we experience peak traffic, Kong made it easy for us to scale and spawn new machines.
The security features of Kong Konnect have helped my team mainly by allowing us to use auth and JWT for applications needing external identity provider authentications, such as LDAP or other authentication providers that need to be connected to back-end applications.
This tool has been helpful for us. It allows us to search for vulnerabilities and provides evidence directly on the screen.
The cloud misconfiguration feature gave us almost zero false positives.
The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature.
