Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Enhances security posture with cost efficiency and powerful APIs
We have been using it for almost four years. We are one of the top first customers who implemented it. It's a cloud security solution With this tool, we have a neat security posture at least in terms of securing our environment. It helps us handle all the misconfigurations, and we do day-to-day…
Sumit Bhanwala - PeerSpot reviewer
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 offers several valuable features, most notably the rapid vulnerability notifications that provide timely alerts regarding our infrastructure."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"The remediation process is good."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
"I would rate their support a ten out of ten."
"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"It runs every hour and has been reliable since I started."
"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"I like its ease of use. It has a single pane of glass for the ZIA and ZPA pieces. It is very manageable. It is also very easy to deploy for secure access, and it gives half-decent coverage for visibility in terms of what the users use and what data is being proxied through the access gateway."
"It does the job. What it is needed for. I can use it for VPN, I can use it for secure connections, I can use it as a firewall. So the solution does the job."
"The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing."
"SASE's most valuable features are proxy and content filtering."
"The most valuable features are the File Type Control and SSL bypass policies. We"
"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."
 

Cons

"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"In addition to our telecom and Slack channels, it would be helpful to receive Cloud Native Security security notifications in Microsoft Teams."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"The dashboard can be more detailed."
"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."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"The login piece needs improvement."
"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."
"What could be improved in Zscaler Private Access is its notification. For example, if there's a speed issue, there should be a pop-up that alerts the user about it. If there is a network quality issue, for example, it isn't good enough to connect to, or the network quality is bad, there should be a notification from the solution. Zscaler Private Access also needs improvement in terms of its interface and security."
"To enhance their offering, it is advisable for them to focus on strengthening the foundation of their architecture. Additionally, they should consider integrating a broader range of services that go beyond what managed service providers typically offer independently."
"I can't speak to any missing features."
"We faced certain migration and implementation challenges in executing the tasks, so I would suggest improvement related to the stability of the solution."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"Zscaler Private Access's reporting is poor. We should have more insight into the reports regarding what is blocked and allowed."
"The area that requires improvement is their support. The current support is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."
"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."
"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
"As per industry leads, Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
"It has been relatively reasonable for what it does. Some of the additional license costs based on the advanced next-generation firewall functions are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Overall, the cost seems reasonable."
"The product is a little more expensive than other tools."
"The technical support is good."
"Pricing for Zscaler Private Access is moderate. It's acceptable, though I can't give you the exact price currently. It's not too expensive, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
"There is definitely an ROI."
