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.
Sumit Bhanwala - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"I would rate their support a ten out of ten."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is better than other vendors because we get all the cloud-related, data center-related information."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable features like runtime notifications. These alerts come to my account, ensuring that if any port or component within my infrastructure is opened or compromised, I am informed immediately. It highlights issues within minutes or even seconds."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Protection, offering more visibility and protection across our cloud environment."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"I find all Zscaler Private Access features valuable because each replaces flawed technologies, such as EPAs being replacements for VPN and PR as a replacement for PAM, so I can't mention only one valuable feature. Overall, Zscaler Private Access is a good solution."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are its ability to integrate with multiple IDPs and application segmentation."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to establish connectivity for remote users and remote endpoints. It offers a high level of granularity compared to typical VPNs, which also encapsulate a lot of I/O."
"The most valuable feature is its seamless integration capabilities, streamlining the process by eliminating the need for extensive installations."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler CASB are API integration and DLP."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
 

Cons

"In addition to the console alerts, I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to also send email notifications."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security filtering has some areas that cause problems, and to achieve single sign-on functionality, a break-glass feature, which is currently unavailable, is necessary."
"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."
"While the future roadmap presented by SentinelOne appears promising, I hope the envisioned advancements are realistically achievable and that the gap between current offerings and long-term goals is not too significant."
"The documentation could be better."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its cost could be a barrier for some users."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"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."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."
"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."
"User management can be improved."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The solution needs to improve a lot of aspects."
"We faced certain migration and implementation challenges in executing the tasks, so I would suggest improvement related to the stability of the solution."
"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"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."
"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is costly."

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"Zscaler SASE software is quite expensive compared to other solutions"
