Andrew W

VP - Information Technology at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees

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.

Bart Coddens

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.

Owner at SUNLIT TECHNOLOGIES

Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration

I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is very good."

"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"

"The solution saves 40% of my time."

"Atlas security graph is pretty cool. It maps out relationships between components on AWS, like load balancers and servers. This helps visualize potential attack paths and even suggests attack paths a malicious actor might take."

"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."

"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."

"The monitoring tool has comprehensive monitoring features."

"I would definitely recommend this product to other members, vendors, or users, as it covers security posture management, auditing, documentation, and compliance management."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"It helps us to analyze vulnerabilities way before they get installed in production and the web. It gives us more security in the production environment."

"On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us for this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures."

"The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system."

"All of the features are very useful in today's market."

"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 provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."

"It offers security insights and recommendations to assist organizations in acting and remediating issues swiftly."

"This product provides a really nice visualization of the infrastructure, including network topology, firewalls, etc."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"The analytical and reporting capabilities are pretty straightforward and show every transaction and major attempt to attack the application in the cloud."

"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"

"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

Cons

"The SentinelOne customer support needs improvement, as they are sometimes late in responding, which is critical in a production issue."

"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity."

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

"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."

"I would prefer to see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM and CSPM."

"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."

"We repeatedly get alerts on the tool dashboard that we've already solved on our end, but they still appear. That is somewhat irritating."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"CloudGuard CNAPP could be enhanced by increasing the number of components that run natively on Azure."

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

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

"The tool should incorporate more use cases like improving security scores. It should also improve documentation."

"CloudGuard's reporting could be better. It's good now, but there is room for improvement. If you're looking for a centralized platform, there are a lot of features that can be appreciated. However, you want complete security integration with SaaS, DAST, secret scanning, etc., and a single platform for all these features."

"For businesses with varied IT ecosystems, increasing the integration capabilities with additional third-party products and services would increase flexibility and user-friendliness."

"I would like to see tighter integration with other compliance tools, like Chef Compliance, in addition to Inspector."

"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

"Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product."

"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."

"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."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."

"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."

"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."

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

"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"From a pricing perspective, they are pretty expensive."

"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."

"The license for CloudGuard Posture Management is about $80 a year, and it's based on your cloud footprint, not the number of users. So you could have a million users, and it doesn't matter."

"The price is on the higher end."

"The pricing is extremely competitive."

"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."

"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."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pricing and cost advice

"The tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."

"The tool's pricing is fair."

"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
