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.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"The most valuable feature is the notification system, providing real-time alerts and comparisons crucial for maintaining security."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow it to identify and respond to threats in real time."
"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."
"I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"It is open-source."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"One of the great features of Trivy is that it helps me scan items such as AWS credentials and GCP service accounts."
"I appreciate Trivy for being open-source and not requiring any payment."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
 

Cons

"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."
"I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"In version 2, a lot of rules have been deployed for Kubernetes security and CDR, which makes a lot of issues of critical severity, whereas they are not critical or of high severity. There is a mismatch of severities."
"From my personal experience, the alerting system needs to be faster. If something happens in our infrastructure, the alert appears on the dashboard, but I have to log in to the dashboard and refresh it."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The tool could give us more templates so that people who are not updated with the platform can easily get acquainted with how to secure and utilize the product more."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
 

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."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."
"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."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"Its price is moderate."
"It's an expensive product"
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
