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.

Good technical support, secures our services and mobile devices against malware
We use this solution as a firewall to protect against malware The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention. The mobile device solution is very good. One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring. In the next…

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, I appreciate the monitoring features and the report with the compliance score."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides email alerts and ranks issues based on severity, such as high, critical, etc., that help us prioritize issues."
"The offensive security where they do a fix is valuable. They go to a misconfiguration and provide detailed alerts on what could be there. They also provide a remediation feature where if we give the permission, they can also go and fix the issue."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"We liked the search bar in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"It's a very useful tool."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
 

Cons

"The Singularity Cloud Security console is experiencing delays in clearing resolved issues, which can take over an hour to be removed from the display."
"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"I request that SentinelOne investigate this false positive, as SentinelOne has a higher false positive rate than other XDR solutions."
"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"Security can always be improved."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"The solution is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"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."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"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."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
Information not available
"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
"The tool costs around 15,000 Saudi riyals monthly."
"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."
"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."
"Tenable SC is priced per asset, with the basic solution starting around US$12,000 for 500 assets."
"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, where ten is expensive. It is the most expensive tool my company is using."
