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 vulnerability detection, software composition analysis and asset management features

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. Another area needing improvement is the implementation complexity, especially in multi-cloud environments. Tenable Cloud Security's features mean there's a steep learning curve, which can consume significant time and resources to utilize the platform's potential and fully see immediate benefits. It's similar to AI in that you must spend time fine-tuning and training before it truly helps.

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

"SentinelOne is far superior to our previous solution, Accops, due to its seamless updates, effortless maintenance, and user-friendly interface and dashboard."

"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."

"The dashboard is intuitive in terms of design and functionality. Additionally, it gives me an email for all the findings that are open."

"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."

"The most valuable features are automated threat response, AI detection, and static and dynamic detection."

"My favorite feature is Storyline."

"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."

"SentinelOne's behaviour analytics are valuable because they detect anomalies and malicious behaviour that signature-based solutions might miss."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."

"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."

"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."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"

"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."

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."

"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."

"The tool is very powerful in nature."

"The most valuable feature of Wiz is that it keeps information up to date without needing to perform scans or schedule maintenance windows. It provides a fresh snapshot of our vulnerability metrics."

"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."

"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"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

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

"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."

"We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

"We've found a lot of false positives."

"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."

"Customized queries should be made easier to improve SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSSPM tool, but the CSC CWPP features need improvement."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"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."

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

"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 didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

"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."

"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."

"We noticed some capabilities that were lacking, specifically ignoring some false-positive Issue findings. The good news - with the latest update, this has been resolved."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."

"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."

More Wiz cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."

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

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."

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

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"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 price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."

"The tool's pricing is fair."

"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."

"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."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

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

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

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

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

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