Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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.

Good technical support, secures our services and mobile devices against malware
We use this solution as a firewall to protect against malware The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention. The mobile device solution is very good. One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring. In the next…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers several valuable features, most notably the rapid vulnerability notifications that provide timely alerts regarding our infrastructure."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"It gives me the information I need."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"The most valuable feature is the separate environment."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"We have more visibility than ever before, appreciating the valuable and proactive insight that we receive from the platform."
"The valuable features of Checkpoint CloudGuard CNAPP include its automation capabilities."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"The identification of misconfigurations, maintenance of compliance in a centralized way, and visibility across all the multi-cloud tenants are the key functionalities."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"Overall, it provides good security."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
 

Cons

"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, the visibility is not immediately available for the environment. We have the native servers that come with the solutions, but we cannot see them in the Check Point log. Another issue is with the integrated file monitoring. It would make sense to have stuff like file integrity monitoring and malware scanning available within this module because we don't want to integrate another product."
"Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement."
"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."
"It feels somewhat fractured to me. I haven't grasped all the parts yet, and better integration would make CNAPP most valuable."
"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."
"The shift left part is not yet at a maturity level I desire. I need more integration from the code-to-cloud principle."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"The platform would be significantly enhanced by incorporating data security management capabilities."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is cheap."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"Its pricing is okay. It is in line with what other providers were providing. It is not cheap. It is not expensive."
"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."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"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."
"CloudGuard is fairly priced."
"The price is on the higher end."
"The pricing is extremely competitive."
"Its price is very fair."
"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."
"​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. ​"
"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."
