Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues

Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Security boosts and seamless server access enhance workplace flexibility

I really love the way Orca Security worked. A potential improvement could be additional security features for the two-step authentication, such as fingerprint recognition similar to what Checkpoint does. That could be something to consider, though it's more about convenience than security as we didn't have any security issues.The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off. The process of turning it off isn't very straightforward, so making it easier to turn off manually would be beneficial. It would be good for any business to implement so they don't have to use a VPN. Security in today's age is important, and if a company can afford it, they should get it as it's the most valuable protection against threats.

Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management

I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

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's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."

"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."

"The most valuable aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are its alerting system and the remediation guidance it provides."

"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."

"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."

"The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate."

"The visibility SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration."

"The best features of Orca Security include its ability to perform a lot of security controls without requiring any installation of agents, making it very easy to set up."

"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"Orca Security has helped reduce the time it takes to address cloud security alerts."

"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."

"The product itself is really good. It helped us streamline the way we access our servers."

"Orca Security has updated its interface, making it more user-friendly. I find it particularly useful as it allows me to easily navigate the dashboard and prioritize actions based on severity and criticality."

More Orca Security pros

"It has been helpful in maintaining our infrastructure. The granular level control it offers allows us to set application policies per application for each user."

More Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform pros

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSSPM tool, but the CSC CWPP features need improvement."

"From my personal experience, the alerting system needs to be faster. If something happens in our infrastructure, the alert appears on the dashboard, but I have to log in to the dashboard and refresh it."

"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."

"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."

"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."

"One area that could be improved in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is their policies; the way they have configured the policies could be enhanced."

"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."

"We don't get any notifications from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security when the clusters are down."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The presentation of the data in the dashboard is a little bit chaotic."

"A notable limitation with Orca Security is its scanning feature. The automatic scan only runs every 24 hours, and if an alert is remediated within an hour, it still remains until the next scheduled scan."

"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."

"They can expand a little bit in anti-malware detection. While we have pretty good confidence that it's going to detect some of the static malware, some of the detections are heuristics. There could be a growth in the library from where they're pulling their information, but we don't get a lot of those alerts based on the design of our products. In general, that might be an area that needs to be filled since they offer it as a service within it."

"The solution could improve by making the dashboards more elaborative and more descriptive."

"Another improvement would be that, in addition to focusing on endpoint compliance, they would focus on general compliance."

"It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."

"In the future, I'd like to see Orca work better with third-party vendors. Specifically, being able to provide sanitized results from third parties."

More Orca Security cons

"The interface needs a bit of work."

"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."

"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."

"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."

"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow."

"It would be better if the Zscaler Private Access team made it easier for people to find subscriptions on the portal, mainly information on what my customers subscribed to or the type of licenses purchased."

"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."

"We'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple."

"PingSafe is fairly priced."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."

"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."

"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."

"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The pricing depends on how many assets you have running in your cloud and how many environments you have. If you have a dev environment, test environment, and a production environment then it's really important that you have coverage for all of them."

"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."

"We have a total of 25 licenses for this solution. The solution is on a pay-and-you-use model."

"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."

"It is the cost of the visibility that you get. When you really sit down and think about what do you need to do to secure an environment with a low impact on the business, and you take a look out into the world, I think this tool is well justified around cost."

"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."

"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."

"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."

More Orca Security pricing and cost advice

"In terms of market positioning, I would describe Zscaler Private Access as offering optimal pricing. Based on our experience, Cato Networks tends to be slightly more expensive."

"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."

"There is definitely an ROI."

"The licensing model for Zscaler Cloud DLP allows you to only buy what you need. You don't need to buy it as a whole, so it's good."

"It's an affordable solution"

"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"The pricing is quite high, especially when it comes to the gateway."
