Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation
I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Image scanning has supported consistent security practices during cloud deployment
On a scale of ten, we would say people are happy with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for the part we use. People are okay with it. We probably would give an eight. We don't give ten because if we don't use the other parts of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, it's because it was difficult to implement from an operational point of view. We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts. People have other tools and in the end, we don't use the full capabilities of a product that we pay for. It's partially related to the difficulty to integrate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks runtime in our company's support process. We don't use the real-time monitoring part of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. We don't know about the automated remediation feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.

One thing which I really want Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform to improve is the UI. While it might not be the case for everyone and it's subjective, in my team, most people agree on that part. The UI should be more user-friendly. If you have uploaded a file containing many IP addresses, you don't have a straightforward option to check what the IP addresses were. If we want to search an IP address from the list, we need to check it one by one. Also, when we download something, the feature should be upfront. When we get the result of the scan, it should be 'download this file'. In many scanners, when you go to the download option, you get the options for particular formats immediately. However, in this case, when you click on download, it loads another page before giving you the output options for PDF or CSV. This feature should be upfront.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"The best features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are that it is user friendly and its user interface is very easy to understand."
"All the features we use are equal and get the job done."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"The visibility provided by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security around infrastructure was very valuable."
"I find the CSPM area to be a more valuable and flexible feature."
"This positively affected our confidence in your security and compliance. No matter how complex the environment is, the the seamless integration from the top layer itself give us the immediate visibility on the number of services."
"In addition to that, I can get a snapshot of what I deemed were the priority vulnerabilities, whether it was identity access management, key rotation, or secrets management. Whatever you deem to be a priority for mitigating threats for your environment, you can get that as a snapshot."
"The security features are quite good, the monitoring part is excellent, and the reporting is great, plus it's very user-friendly and allows us to easily create customized dashboards."
"Prisma Cloud provides the needed visibility and control regardless of how complex and distributed the cloud environments become."
"It scans our containers in real time. Also, as they're built, it's looking into the container repository where the images are built, telling us ahead of time, "You have vulnerabilities here, and you should update this code before you deploy." And once it's deployed, it's scanning for vulnerabilities that are in production as the container is running."
"Visibility is a key feature. Integration with other technologies across the board, whether they are Palo Alto technologies, Windows technologies, or cloud technologies, is probably the biggest thing."
"We were pleased with Prisma's custom and built-in reports. We could go into the dashboard and see all these notifications telling us which subscriptions didn't have TLS 1.2 enabled. The security controls were the most valuable features."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform was helpful with threat prioritization features for resource allocation, and it played a good role in our analysis and day-to-day monitoring."
"The favorite feature of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is that it provides the whole information of a particular vulnerability, including a comprehensive summary, related CVEs and CVSS score, which helps understand potential risks and allows the output to be exported in various formats like CSV, PDF, or JSON."
"Qualys offers versatility. It can function both with and without agents, offering flexibility in deployment. Furthermore, it provides comprehensive support for various systems such as Windows Server, Unix servers, and databases, including SQL, Oracle, and others for development."
"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is considered a good leader in its field."
"The favorite feature of Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform is that it provides the whole information of a particular vulnerability, including a comprehensive summary, related CVEs and CVSS score, which helps understand potential risks and allows the output to be exported in various formats like CSV, PDF, or JSON."
 

Cons

"There should be more documentation about the product."
"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."
"It took us a while to configure the software to work well in this type of environment, as the support documents were not always clear."
"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."
"In addition to the console alerts, I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to also send email notifications."
"The innovation side of the solution could be more efficient and more detailed."
"The regional cost of Prisma Cloud in South Africa is high and could be improved."
"To see the full picture, at least when I last used it in April or May, you needed to switch between the modules. To see the cloud infrastructure and pipeline configuration, you need to switch to that module. To see the code security part, you need to switch to the Code Security module. It is the same story with CSPM. Two competitors of Prisma Cloud do it in a better way. They show the full view of a risk. Prisma Cloud unfortunately lacks in that area, but they are catching up."
"These tools have a set of signatures or rules that will alert you whenever something meets the criteria. In the future, they might include some machine learning or AI feature that allows you to ask questions about the context of the alert, and it will provide you answers based on the data that they have. Most vendors are doing it, and I believe they will do it in the future. The reporting bar could also use AI to add context based on the environment."
"Prisma Cloud supports generating CSV files, but I would also like it to generate PDF files for reporting."
"We would like to have the detections be more contemporaneous. For example, we've seen detections of an overprivileged user or whatever it might be in any of the hundreds of Prisma policies, where there are 50 minutes of latency between the event and the alert."
"The remediation part could be better."
"The integration of the Compute function into the cloud monitoring function—because those are two different tools that are being combined together—could use some more work."
"Compared to Microsoft, there were already advanced tools, so I had seen some drawbacks compared to licensing or technical side."
"Once we supplied 130 URLs to it for scanning one by one, and it crashed in between. We did not have any clue what happened, so we had to reach out to support."
"The report sometimes inaccurately identifies the corresponding operating system version."
"Once we supplied 130 URLs to it for scanning one by one, and it crashed in between. We did not have any clue what happened, so we had to reach out to support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"You can expect a premium price because it is a premium quality product by a leading supplier."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We are encountering some resistance in the African market regarding the cost of Prisma Cloud."
"Our licensing fees are $18,000 USD per year."
"Prisma Cloud is a high-end enterprise solution, making it quite expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are expensive compared to the other offerings that we considered."
"It is fairly priced. However, its price can be better so that small banks or small organizations can afford it and adopt it to secure their environment and data."
"In general, Prisma Cloud is much cheaper than cloud-native services."
