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.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its performance impact on the systems is low, which means there is a minimal impact on system performance compared to traditional antivirus solutions."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"SentinelOne stands out with its responsiveness to feature requests for Singularity Cloud Security."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"SentinelOne's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."
"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."
"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"It is open-source."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
 

Cons

"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."
"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."
"The documentation could be better."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."
"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity. Desktop features might be useful for smaller organizations with less complex security needs."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"Trivy is not scalable; however, I have scanned very large projects with it. It is stable but not scalable according to my experience."
"The main area for improvement is in differentiating between OS and application-based vulnerabilities."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"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."
