Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation

I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Boosts security and compliance in multi-cloud environments while real-time threat detection enhances risk management

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP flagged a misconfiguration in our AWS S3 bucket that had overly permissive access settings. That configuration could have exposed our sensitive data to the public internet. The platform not only identified the issue but also provided remediation that our team was able to apply immediately. This prevented a potential data exposure. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers a unified, modular platform that combines CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, code security, and cloud detection and response. The agentless workload posture, real-time threat detection and response, multi-cloud coverage and visibility, compliance automation, and one-click remediations stand out as its best features. I find myself relying on the risk management engine and prioritization the most day-to-day. In any cloud environment, you are flooded with findings, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps. Without prioritization, it is overwhelming for our team to take care of the posture. CloudGuard's risk scoring helps us cut through incidents. This makes remediation faster and focused instead of wasting time checking every alert. We get to fix the issues that pose real business risks. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has positively impacted our organization at a significant level. We get greater visibility and control across all our cloud environments. Some biggest benefits we have seen are faster detection and remediation of misconfigurations, improved compliance posture, reduced risk exposure, operational efficiency, and cost savings. Overall, it has made our cloud environment more secure, compliant, and easier to manage while freeing up our teams to focus on projects instead of chasing alerts.

Security posture has improved with automated insights but reporting and integrations still need work

The best feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center is that it is flexible to integrate with several third-party tools or services, and it is more customized. For example, it is already giving a misconfiguration and the vulnerability, and if somebody wants to do some in-depth analysis for patterns such as metrics, they can export the continuous log on the spot with that tool. From an integration point of view, I would say it is more customized with different tools. The asset discovery feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center enhances my security strategy because, nowadays, data sensitivity and data privacy are very important, and using some DLP utility, I can classify and set up rules to generate reports based on the classification in their asset discovery. This can also include data classification on Google storage buckets, and overall, Google Cloud Security Command Center has that information, which can be used for various analyses or alerts. It is very important for compliance assessment because every business is global and connects with different geographical locations, meaning each country has its own regulatory systems and internal compliance policies. Google Cloud Security Command Center has the feature to set up security postures based on which resources or assets inside Google Cloud can be marked as compliant or non-compliant, giving a risk score for immediate reporting to higher management or CISO, making it very helpful in terms of security, risk, and compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on top of protecting ephemeral workloads."

"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."

"The unified platform experience is good for us, and the GUI for the application is easy and not complex."

"The single-touch, agentless deployment is number one."

"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."

"I can say it is one of the best user interfaces I have used, and it is very user-friendly."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"I love the work involved in maintaining and scaling security services and configurations across multiple public clouds using this solution, versus using native native cloud security controls. It is so much better. The different cloud platforms all have their own way that they handle a lot of the stuff that Dome9 handles. Even within their platform, they are in a lot of disparate places, e.g., in AWS, there are five different tools. You have to jump between them to get the same information that you can just pull in automatically on Dome9, which is just one platform. We are using multiple platforms, so that makes it even more complicated and time consuming if you had to just rely on them to get all of your information. Whereas, it's all just summarized and put together on the Dome9 end."

"The cloud security posture management identify the risks that are the most critical to our business. We can define certain key assets that are your crown jewels. And whenever something hits on these crown jewels, you get a very high score. So you can really fine tune towards protecting your risk based assets in the cloud."

"Most of the features are pretty valuable, whether that's a description of the attacks or the attack graph showing the vulnerabilities. If a single tool does all this work, the value is centralizing all these functions on a single tool. These are the cloud-native applications we talk about — containers, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure — and all those things are the primary focus of the CNAPP solution."

"It has great scalability."

"The automatic learning and an AI engine help to find more modern vulnerability problems."

"Its monitoring and alerts are triggered by a failure or non-compliance with policies. It helps us to be able to act effectively and quickly."

"The two most valuable features for us are the central firewall administrator and the real-time cloud compliance monitoring."

"Visibility is a key feature. It helps me to validate my overall network posture."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"The compliance reporting feature helped us maintain a baseline of compliance within the information security policies."

"Most people use the threat detection dashboard."

"It simplifies compliance efforts."

"I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Security Command Center to others."

Cons

"SentinelOne currently lacks a break glass account feature, which is critical for implementing Single Sign-On."

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

"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."

"In addition to our telecom and Slack channels, it would be helpful to receive Cloud Native Security security notifications in Microsoft Teams."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."

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

"I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."

"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The entire system is complicated, and the setup process may not cater to the company's demands."

"I would like to see some AI on the back-end, just to assist with doing analysis and making recommendations."

"The tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."

"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."

"The dashboard is feature-rich, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming."

"The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete."

"I strongly advise that the multi-layered security system of Check Point often undergoes updates and new versions keep coming."

"The support for Dome9 is not thrilling. It was degraded when Check Point took over."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"The AI capabilities have been heavily promoted, but I haven't seen a significant impact."

"There is definitely room for improvement in Google Cloud Security Command Center. While the functionality is very native, compared to third-party tools that offer a variety of features for easy integrations and custom KPIs, Google Cloud Security Command Center lacks some of these functionalities, requiring complex workarounds for custom reporting, and given that customers often use hybrid environments, having a broader perspective is necessary for integration."

"Visibility can be improved along with automation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."

"PingSafe is fairly priced."

"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."

"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"

"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."

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"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."

"It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."

"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."

"Everything in this field is very expensive."

"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. "

"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."

"The tool's pricing is moderate. Its licensing costs are yearly."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"Initially, it used to be relatively expensive, starting at around four or five hundred dollars."
