Security Engineer at HashXpert
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend this product to other members, vendors, or users, as it covers security posture management, auditing, documentation, and compliance management."
"The unified platform experience is good for us, and the GUI for the application is easy and not complex."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is better than other vendors because we get all the cloud-related, data center-related information."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."
"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks."
"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."
"It is the best available solution in the market with strong tech support and wider acceptability globally."
"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 dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."
"Checkpoint posture management gives you visibility across your entire cloud infrastructure, so it helps you with management, maintenance, and compliance. With visibility across all these cloud platforms, you can protect against compromised credentials or identity theft."
"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
 

Cons

"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"I find the platform somewhat clunky at times, and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security does not always give me accurate data, which could also be due to fine tuning on our end."
"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."
"The price is on the higher side. The dashboard can be more detailed."
"It does not support on-premise deployments such as VMware Tanzu, and this has been a major drawback when it comes to integrations with some applications."
"I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector."
"The integration process could be enhanced by enabling integration at the organizational level rather than requiring the manual setup of individual accounts."
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required."
"Reporting should have more options."
"Addressing the large amount of compliance information and benchmarks we need to observe, the tools are becoming our goto dashboards."
"I would like to see some AI on the back-end, just to assist with doing analysis and making recommendations."
"I would appreciate a way to receive periodic updates, like through email. I am the kind of person who likes to receive data passively."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"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."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor 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."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"The price is on the higher end."
"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."
"The license fee is high."
"We have the enterprise-level license and we renew it annually because it is worth the cost."
"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."
"It is difficult to contextualize the pricing because we are used to Indian pricing and licensing."
"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."
