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.

The tool's most valuable feature is visibility but needs improvement in Kubernetes
We use the product in the production environment of server infrastructure.  The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility.  Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it.  I have been using the product since October.  We faced some minor issues, but overall, the product is stable. I…

Enhanced email security with effective threat management and spam detection
We were using Google Email earlier and wanted to move from Google to Microsoft. Knowing the vulnerability issues with Microsoft, we wanted a strong email security management system on top of Microsoft 365 We aimed to enhance the server security perimeter due to previous vulnerabilities with…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has significantly improved our risk posture."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"Guardicore makes its own rule set automatically, so we can work fast when creating a rule set."
"The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall."
"We like the centralized management of the firewalls. Until we installed Guardicore Centra, we managed all our firewalls individually, so making changes was complicated, difficult, and time-consuming."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"That is primarily because I've seen increased rules. It's kind of caught us a little off guard. With GuardiCore, I have had to deal with their technical support and engineering team in Israel. They are amazing. They are very quick to adapt."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"The most valuable feature is spam detection and phishing site prevention, which Microsoft couldn't catch, yet Check Point does."
"Machine Learning and AI for email security have helped all the organization's members to guard their information against insecure exposure."
"The automated rule cleanups and automated policy installs have improved my customers' organizations."
"For Threat Prevention, I was impressed with this feature and the solution's effectiveness. It has been very good."
"The product offers good and easy integration capabilities with other products."
 

Cons

"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"The resolution suggestions could be better, and the compliance features could be more customizable for Indian regulations. Overall, the compliance aspects are good. It gives us a comprehensive list, and its feedback is enough to bring us into compliance with regulations, but it doesn't give us the specific objects."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an excellent CSPM tool, but its CWPP features need improvement, and there is scope for more application security posture management features."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security could be improved with easier integrations to the Singularity Data Lake, particularly for various vendors."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"I would rate the stability a six out of ten, where one is low and ten is high stability."
"The maps could go a bit faster. They are useful but slightly slow."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"Guardicore Centra should incorporate automation so that we don't require to write custom scripts and APIs. The tool also has limitations on rules where it allows only sixty thousand rules. Our clients have also commented that there are too many manual clicks and effort to do changes. I think that the incorporation of automation can help our clients make changes with confidence and without the possibility of human error."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"Sometimes, the speed needs improvement, especially when it comes to the generation of maps, where it can be a bit slow."
"They could continue to offer more stringent security policy measures for threat point management."
"It would be good to have the option to export the respective record data from dashboards or logs to .csv or other files."
"A phishing simulator would be helpful as a user training module."
"Since the portal to the management and administration entry sometimes has performance problems and takes a long time to respond to what has arrived, the handling of the tool is difficult."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"If Check Point finds something to be described as a clean email, it should have the option to automatically release it to the user. At the moment, we don't have that option."
"Check Point Infinity Portal sometimes feels a bit slow, and there are performance issues that should be easy to fix."
"Check Point's technical support is very much of a low level, especially with respect to other vendors and OEMs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"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."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"Compared to the pricing we were seeing from both Illumio and Edgewise, Guardicore was very competitive."
"Guardicore Centra provides better value for money than NSX, was the other solution that we looked at, which was too expensive for what it does."
"This is not a cheap solution but you have to consider the bigger picture, which is what it is giving you."
"The solution is reasonably priced and I would rate it a six out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is expensive."
"GuardiCore has made some new changes to the license now. We've seen monthly and annual licenses based on a subscription. We have a few clients that pay anywhere from $25,000 a year."
"The customer would complain about the cost."
"The pricing is too high."
"The pricing is expensive."
"There are absolutely no additional costs to the standard licensing fees. One of the wonderful pieces is that CloudGuard SaaS is all-inclusive in its licensing. There's no a-la-carte functionality. You're getting 100 percent of the product for the licensing that you're paying."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Check Point is more expensive. That's the honest truth. So far, it's a good value for the money."
"You can get CloudGuard as part of Infinity. When you do the solution through Infinity, it's a per user type of license cost."
"One of the nice features is that the licensing model is elastic, so if you go over your license count, you can add users during your billing cycle and true-up later."
"Having information stolen by a hacker would be more expensive than purchasing a license."
"As we are a non-profit organization, we got the tool with a good offer. On a yearly basis, we pay 10,000 Euro for 500 users, which also includes the technical support part."
