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.

Security Technical Manager at Modaberan Fanavari Pasargad

A robust solution that provides comprehensive protection for data centers, offering agentless security, powerful intrusion prevention, and a wide range of security features

The primary focus of data center security often revolves around serving customers who offer services to other clients within the data center. For example, if I operate a data center and provide security services, third-party customers might purchase virtual machine products within my data center. These products are automatically deployed, and we safeguard these virtual machines using intrusion prevention system features. This aspect is considered the most valuable part because when we set up these security policies, it's as if we're fortifying the entire infrastructure. It's not just about having good technical support; it's about having a robust IPS and comprehensive DOS prevention system on those operating systems. The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 offers valuable scalability suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises."

"As a frequently audited company, we value SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's compliance monitoring features. They give us a report with a compliance score for how well we meet certain regulatory standards, like HIPAA. We can show our compliance as a percentage. It's also a way to show that we are serious about security."

"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."

"We like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."

"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."

"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."

"Cloud Native Security helps us discover vulnerabilities in a cloud environment like open ports that allow people to attack our environment. If someone unintentionally opens a port, we are exposed. Cloud Native Security alerts us so we can remediate the problem. We can also automate it so that Cloud Native Security will fix it."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."

"The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."

"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."

"The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."

"The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."

"Good file integrity monitoring features."

"The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have."

"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."

Cons

"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."

"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."

"One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to."

"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."

"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."

"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."

"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."

"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."

"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."

"A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure."

"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience."

"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."

"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."

"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."

"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."

"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."

"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."

"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."

"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"Compared to some other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, Symantec is more expensive."

"It is notably more expensive when compared to other solutions."

"The product is a bit costly."
