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.

An intelligent solution that prioritizes which vulnerability to target first in your project

We could create any number of repositories, but we can create only thirty projects with JFrog Xray. If I want things to work, it has to be one project and multiple repositories that belong to different real projects. So I have a limitation of thirty projects, despite being a premium customer. JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard. Although I am able to generate reports, there is no proper dashboard where I can see the total number of vulnerabilities, the total number of license issues, and how many vulnerabilities are fixed. Second, I found the shift left approach missing with JFrog Xray. JFrog Xray has integration with IDEs, but it does not tell you about the vulnerabilities until the artifact is created. However, Snyk could directly integrate with your repository and would not allow you to build unless you fix the problem.

Senior Security Consultant at Ernst & Young

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

"Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."

"I would rate their support a ten out of ten."

"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."

"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."

"The cooperative nature of SentinelOne has influenced our decision not to shift."

"Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."

"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."

"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."

"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."

"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."

"Good reporting functionalities."

"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."

"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."

More JFrog Xray pros

"One of the great features of Trivy is that it helps me scan items such as AWS credentials and GCP service accounts."

"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."

"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."

More Trivy pros

Cons

"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."

"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."

"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. They need to work on severity management."

"It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."

"The could improve their mean time to detect."

"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."

"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."

"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."

"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."

"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."

"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."

"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."

"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."

"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."

More JFrog Xray cons

"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."

"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."

"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities."

"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."

"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."

"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format. Additionally, it takes longer to scan container images built with many layers."

More Trivy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."

"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."

"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."

"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."

"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
