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.

Consistent threat hunting and anomaly detection deliver valuable insights for network security management

In terms of improvement for Darktrace, pricing is the main concern. Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution. When we get feedback from customers, that's the only felt need. When we factor in Darktrace, we do it only limited. We put it on where the perimeters and connections are, but still, some gray areas are left out, especially if we have multiple branches. We need Darktrace on each branch to get the data out, and I suggest having some kind of a centralized product that gets data from multiple sources to aggregate and provide the data.

Security posture has improved with automated insights but reporting and integrations still need work

The best feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center is that it is flexible to integrate with several third-party tools or services, and it is more customized. For example, it is already giving a misconfiguration and the vulnerability, and if somebody wants to do some in-depth analysis for patterns such as metrics, they can export the continuous log on the spot with that tool. From an integration point of view, I would say it is more customized with different tools. The asset discovery feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center enhances my security strategy because, nowadays, data sensitivity and data privacy are very important, and using some DLP utility, I can classify and set up rules to generate reports based on the classification in their asset discovery. This can also include data classification on Google storage buckets, and overall, Google Cloud Security Command Center has that information, which can be used for various analyses or alerts. It is very important for compliance assessment because every business is global and connects with different geographical locations, meaning each country has its own regulatory systems and internal compliance policies. Google Cloud Security Command Center has the feature to set up security postures based on which resources or assets inside Google Cloud can be marked as compliant or non-compliant, giving a risk score for immediate reporting to higher management or CISO, making it very helpful in terms of security, risk, and compliance.

"The most valuable feature in Darktrace is that it gives me a comprehensive, detailed view of my network and whatever is happening inside it."

"AI analytics are built directly into the product."

"The platform has many modules, and each module examines a different situation in the behavior."

"We are able to detect a lot of things, actually, and see what is happening in our network."

"We allow customers to access our Wi-Fi as guests, and some of them were going to restricted sites. Darktrace showed us what they were doing so we could block them."

"The technical support is excellent; they walk you through the process and do a great job."

"I am impressed with the product's ability to give insights into network traffic."

More Darktrace pros

"It simplifies compliance efforts."

"I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Security Command Center to others."

"Most people use the threat detection dashboard."

"The compliance reporting feature helped us maintain a baseline of compliance within the information security policies."

Cons

"There should be more documentation about the product."

"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."

"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."

"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."

"There is room for improvement in application security posture management features, and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."

"I request that SentinelOne investigate this false positive, as SentinelOne has a higher false positive rate than other XDR solutions."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses."

"It would be useful if there was a way to check to see if there are certain devices that are not in sync with the solution. I'm not sure if this is an option or not."

"There is no dedicated salesperson in Egypt, and having one would help to improve focus on this market."

"It would be good if they can include some endpoint protection for remote workers."

"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."

"The only thing that I can think of that would improve it would be if they had a better visualization and a reporting portal."

"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."

"Upper management wasn't sold on the value proposition."

More Darktrace cons

"Visibility can be improved along with automation."

"The AI capabilities have been heavily promoted, but I haven't seen a significant impact."

"There is definitely room for improvement in Google Cloud Security Command Center. While the functionality is very native, compared to third-party tools that offer a variety of features for easy integrations and custom KPIs, Google Cloud Security Command Center lacks some of these functionalities, requiring complex workarounds for custom reporting, and given that customers often use hybrid environments, having a broader perspective is necessary for integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."

"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."

"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"We've budgeted about 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars for the solution. That is a yearly operating cost."

"The cost of the solution is expensive for smaller businesses. They will not be able to afford it or might not need this type of security solution."

"I'm unfamiliar with the exact cost, but we have a yearly license and had to pay for Darktrace's services before the deployment. The product is very expensive, so some organizations can't afford to pay the total amount directly, meaning they often seek a partner or pay in installments, which increases the price more."

"The pricing is expensive. It costs over $100,000 a year."

"The pricing is very flexible for Darktrace. Sometimes, a customer does not have the appropriate budget, but Darktrace can handle that. They offer monthly payments, so the customer can acquire the solution very easily."

"It is expensive."

"The pricing is a little high compared to the competition."

"There is an annual license to use Darktrace."

More Darktrace pricing and cost advice
