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.

Uses unique technologies for container security, flexible integration but lacks good user experience
There should always be some customized reports included. The dashboard is one thing, and the second is a report. Based on that, users can assist their environment. For example, for some Terraform code, customers want end-to-end things with their tool. They don’t want multiple tools. For a specific purpose, we need to look at different tools. They will look for a solution in one platform only so that the cost can be saved. If we use multiple tools, it means we need to give access to different ports in their environment. It is basically a kind of security compromise happening. Users have a lot of ports being used. So, basically, users don’t want to use multiple tools. They want a single tool that includes multiple features. The report part was missing. Also, some kind of clarity [flow clarity] is not in the tool as of now, but they are working on it. For example, if somebody manages the tool in their environment, the tool should be user-friendly. But this tool is not user-friendly as of now. This tool needs some kind of improvement so that new users or new security engineers can understand all the things in a short period of time. They can understand what is happening and how we can provide. They are catching the customer needs and working along with their development team. For example, some of the policies customers wanted to be placed at the organization level were missing. But AccuKnox have projections as well. Some of the good things they have used are flexible to integrate with other tools. For example, not from the security point of view, but maybe CI/CD, some third-party tools helping out to optimize the container image in terms of being lightweight or having a very low surface level. Basically, it protects against surface attacks. If a heavier image is used, it takes time to upload and impacts overall application performance. So, some tools are good for optimization.

Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has saved up to 50 percent in engineering time."
"Visibility is the most important aspect."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard that I can access without any difficulty."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"The platform is strong in container and kernel-level security."
"CloudGuard's best feature is real-time detection. We can detect incidents and vulnerabilities in our code with one click."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"People implementing this solution are concerned with addressing a significant risk, and within the AWS realm, this tool does de-risk substantially."
"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."
"The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."
"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
 

Cons

"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"After closing an alert in Cloud Native Security, it still shows as unresolved."
"When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"I would prefer to see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM and CSPM."
"AccuKnox platform have AI-based features, but those aren’t fully developed yet."
"Integration could be improved."
"In general, for the product to be successful, they need to improve security, and configuration detection."
"I would like to see some AI on the back-end, just to assist with doing analysis and making recommendations."
"Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime."
"I would appreciate a way to receive periodic updates, like through email. I am the kind of person who likes to receive data passively."
"The user interface needs work."
"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"Especially with cloud security, there's too much clutter on the screen and too many things going on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"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."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"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."
"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."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
Information not available
"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
"The price is on the higher end."
"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is always known as a good solution but an expensive one. When you're using Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto, you know that you will pay more, but you know that it will work."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
"I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
