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.

Helps to react promptly with monitoring and alerting capabilities
We use Ermetic for monitoring and alerting.  The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time.  Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms.  I have been working with the solution…

Helps with Zero-day protection
We use the solution for Zero-day protection.  The solution stops any kind of remote code execution.  The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load.  I have been using the product for a year.  I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten.  I would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"PingSafe offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"I like CSPM the most. It captures a lot of alerts within a short period of time. When an alert gets triggered on the cloud, it throws an alert within half an hour, which is very reasonable. It is a plus point for us."
"It gives me the information I need."
"The key strength of Singularity Cloud Security lies in its ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in our cloud accounts and identify suspicious activity that warrants further investigation."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."
"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."
"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."
"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."
"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."
"Tenable Cloud Security excels in vulnerability detection, one of its strongest features. Another valuable feature is software composition analysis, which highlights and automates the detection of security flaws. Additionally, their knowledge base is excellent; if anything goes wrong, they provide clear guidance on what needs to be done to address specific vulnerabilities."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"I would like PingSafe's detections to be openly available online instead of only accessible through their portal. Other tools have detections that are openly available without going through the tool."
"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."
"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."
"The product must provide more features."
"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."
"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."
"Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product."
"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."
"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"
"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."
"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."
"It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The tool's pricing is fair."
"The tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
