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

"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."
"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable scalability suitable for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises."
"The user-friendly dashboard offers both convenience and security by providing quick access to solutions and keeping us informed of potential threats."
"The cloud misconfiguration feature and Offensive Security Engine, as well as their alerting process, are valuable."
"The platform is strong in container and kernel-level security."
"The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions."
"The CDR helps detect anomalous behavior and respond to threats before they become an issue."
"The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"Visibility is a key feature. It helps me to validate my overall network posture."
"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."
"My overall product rating is ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"I would like additional integrations."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"Once all components, including the cloud piece and container runtime piece, integrate further and incorporate an AI layer for better comprehension, it will greatly enhance the utility of Singularity Cloud Security."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"AccuKnox platform have AI-based features, but those aren’t fully developed yet."
"Improvements can be made to the user interface."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"Making basic rules is easy, but it's complex if you want to do something a little more nuanced. I've been unable to make some rules that I wanted. I couldn't evaluate some values or parameters of the components I look for. I haven't always been able to assess them."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"Integration could be improved."
"Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud."
"The false positives can be annoying at times."
"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
Information not available
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
"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."
"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
"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."
"The licensing part still needs some work. The issue that I have is that we do not use all the services in the cloud, but sometimes, CloudGuard identifies them as an asset."
