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.

Cloud Engineer at Cloudar

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:

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"It presents a real-time database that is always updated."

"Overall, it provides good security."

"It is able to bring visibility into that cloudy space where the security departments do not really see what is happening on the DevOps side. It brings visibility, security control, and standardization."

"I can take proactive actions based on an alert without having to interact with the platform directly."

"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."

"The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."

"This solution helps to keep everything visible, and it also alerts us if something is wrong, such as if someone opened extra ports or services that they are not supposed to. This is a valuable tool for monitoring and maintaining our cloud environment."

"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."

"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security."

"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."

"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."

"It runs every hour and has been reliable since I started."

"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."

Cons

"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."

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

"In addition to the console alerts, I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to also send email notifications."

"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."

"Timely updates and upgrades to meet modern technological changes could help improve performance and limit the chances of downtime."

"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."

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

"The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."

"The login piece needs improvement."

"The tool needs to improve its documentation."

"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."

"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."

"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."

"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."

"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."

"It is cheap."

"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."

"The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."

"Everything in this field is very expensive."

"CloudGuard is fairly priced."

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

"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."

"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."

"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."

"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
