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.

Has a good active directory feature and good technical support

One area for improvement in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is integration. Other features that could be improved are defense control and encryption, particularly in the USB. For example, users should be able to control the USB and have the capability of blocking and allowing USB reading and writing. Having a USB encryption feature in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection would also be very useful. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is more advanced defense on mobile devices such as iOS and Android. For example, even offline or with no internet connection, it would be good if the solution could defend devices against malware and ransomware.

Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture

The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable features like runtime notifications. These alerts come to my account, ensuring that if any port or component within my infrastructure is opened or compromised, I am informed immediately. It highlights issues within minutes or even seconds."

"Singularity Cloud Security offers autonomous response capabilities, automatically remediating threats and restoring affected files without manual intervention."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."

"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."

"Visibility is the most important aspect."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"It will read various logs, diagnose what is wrong, and then alert you."

"The most valuable features in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection are endpoint protection and active directory features. The active directory features in the product are very good, and in terms of security, the most valuable feature in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is threat defense or threat protection."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."

"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."

"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."

"The granularity of visibility that the platform provides is the most valuable aspect."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."

"Wiz saves time by validating a network misconfiguration by not only looking at the cloud asset configuration but also by testing if a port that is stated to be open is actually open."

"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 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 SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection."

"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity."

"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."

"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."

"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

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

"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."

"The Infrastructure as Code service available in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and the services available in AWS cloud security can be merged so that we can get the security data directly from AWS cloud in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. This way, all the data related to security will be in one single place. Currently, we have to check a couple of things on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and we have to validate that same data on the AWS Cloud to be sure. If they can collaborate like that, it will be great."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"One area for improvement in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is integration. Other features that could be improved are defense control and encryption, particularly in the USB. For example, users should be able to control the USB and have the capability of blocking and allowing USB reading and writing. Having a USB encryption feature in Symantec Cloud Workload Protection would also be very useful."

"In the future, we may need to use features that are only available in one of the competing products."

"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."

"I cannot recommend Wiz to others until I have a clear understanding of its full capacity and benefits."

"In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate."

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."

"In Wiz, if there is one vulnerability that occurs multiple times, it is listed only once. However, even if it is a single vulnerability in the same category, it repeats multiple times. This feature can be time-consuming as it requires continuous scrolling."

"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."

"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."

"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

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

"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."

"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The licensing cost for Symantec Cloud Workload Protection is paid yearly."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."
