Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts.""The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great.""The most valuable feature of PingSafe is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software.""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.""PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning.""PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us.""The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well.""The management console is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have.""The granularity of applying the policies is valuable.""The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system.""The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection.""We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security.""Good file integrity monitoring features.""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 ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."

Cons
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities.""We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster.""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.""I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check PingSafe. The alert used to come after about three and a half hours. It used to take that long to generate the alert about the vulnerability in my system. If a hacker attacks a system and PingSafe takes three to four hours to generate an alert, it will not be beneficial for the company. It would be helpful if we get the alert in five to ten minutes.""With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case.""PingSafe is an excellent CSPM tool, but the CWPP features need to improve, and there is a scope for more application security posture management features. There aren't many ASPM solutions on the market, and existing ones are costly. I would like to see PingSafe develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection.""The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved.""They can work on policies based on different compliance standards."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Cons →

"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better.""There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics.""They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution.""Agent management is a challenging task.""There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience.""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.""Could have better reporting capabilities and better support.""The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."

    Overview

    Singularity Cloud Security is SentinelOne’s comprehensive, cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP). It combines the best of agentless insights with AI-powered threat protection, to secure and protect your multi-cloud infrastructure, services, and containers from build time to runtime. SentinelOne’s CNAPP applies an attacker’s mindset to help security practitioners better prioritize their  remediation tasks with evidence-backed Verified Exploit Paths™. The efficient and scalable runtime protection, proven over 5 years and trusted by many of the world’s leading cloud enterprises, harnesses local, autonomous AI engines to detect and thwart runtime threats in real-time. CNAPP data and workload telemetry is recorded to SentinelOne’s unified security lake, for easy access and investigation.

    Singularity Cloud Security includes both agentless and AI-powered cloud security controls, which represent two halves of our strategy to keep public cloud and container environments safe. Radically reduce your cloud attack surface with Singularity Cloud Native Security, formerly PingSafe, with agentless insights and evidence-based prioritization; protect runtime compute and container with Singularity Cloud Workload Security, SentinelOne’s real-time CWPP, with AI-powered machine-speed blocking of threats.

    Docker containers make it easy to develop, deploy, and deliver applications where containers can be deployed and brought down in a matter of seconds. This flexibility makes it very useful for DevOps to automate deployment of containers. Symantec Data Center Security: Server Advanced provides agentless Docker container protection that allows you to achieve the performance benefits of Docker without sacrificing security. Full application control enables administrator privilege de-escalation, patch mitigation, and protection against zero day threats in today's heterogeneous data centers.
