reviewer2795847

Lead Software Engineer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

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.

Open Shift Engineer at Dhanyaayai enterprise private limited

Our debugging time during regression cycles reduced roughly by 25% to 30%, mainly because the gateway layer helped us quickly identify whether issues were coming from authentication policies, rate limiting, throttling, or the backend services.

Featured Reviews

Centralized gateway testing has improved debugging speed and validates real-world API behavior

Software Development Engineering Testing at HighLevel

Kong Konnect requires some improvement, but overall the experience is quite positive. One thing I can think of currently is around debugging visibility. While I know that the analytics are helpful, sometimes getting very detailed request-level insights during failures, especially in CI runs, required additional digging. A bit more granular and easily accessible logs would make troubleshooting faster. Also, in some cases, configuration changes were not immediately intuitive to validate from a testing standpoint. Having better tooling or previews to simulate how a policy change would impact API behavior could be useful. Nothing major, but these kinds of improvements would make it even more efficient for teams, especially our teams, which heavily rely on automation and CI pipelines. Better integration visibility with CI/CD tools would make it easier to quickly correlate test failures and gateway behavior without switching between multiple dashboards. This should be improved.

Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response

Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited

Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.
