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.

It gives you one console to see all of your assets, review their configurations, and build your processes
Most customers use Prisma Cloud for visibility and compliance. Prisma has so many features, but many organizations do not use them. They primarily use the visibility part to connect all their cloud accounts and hosts for visibility to see if they are missing any security controls or if they have any misconfigurations. You can connect it to cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba, etc., or to an on-prem data center. Prisma Cloud gives you so many options to automate processes related to your daily operations. When it comes to cybersecurity, you can automate things with their existing APIs. They also have out-of-the-box integrations with many solutions. I have not seen any limitations. Everything is customizable. You can do whatever you want, defining the reporting and custom use cases. They recently updated the UI, so it's much better than before.

Offers a good firewall that blocks unwanted ports
In our company's infrastructure, we have not faced any challenges with the product. Considering the lack of issues or challenges faced with the use of the product in our company's environment, I feel that it is a good solution. Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. If Trend Micro Deep Security wants to implement some new features in it, then I would say that it should focus from a networking point of view and see how to control network traffic specifically coming from external to internal traffic on the servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The offensive security where they do a fix is valuable. They go to a misconfiguration and provide detailed alerts on what could be there. They also provide a remediation feature where if we give the permission, they can also go and fix the issue."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"I have not seen any limitations. Everything is customizable. You can do whatever you want, defining the reporting and custom use cases. They recently updated the UI, so it's much better than before."
"It also provides us with a single tool to manage our entire cloud architecture. In fact, we are using a multi-account strategy with our AWS organization. We use Prisma as a single source of truth to identify high- or medium-severity threats inside our organization."
"Prisma Cloud has enabled us to take a very strong preventive approach to cloud security. One of the hardest things with cloud is getting visibility into workloads. With Prisma Cloud, you can go in and get that visibility, then set up policies to alert on risky behavior, e.g., if there are security groups or firewall ports open up. So, it is very helpful in preventing configuration errors in the cloud by having visibility. If there are issues, then you can find them and fix them."
"The most valuable feature is the option to add custom queries using the RQL language that they supply so that we can customize the compliance frameworks to what we need to look for."
"The policies that come prepackaged in the tool have been very valuable to us. They're accurate and they provide good guidance as to why the policy was created, as well as how to remediate anything that violates the policy."
"Visibility and control are the most utilized features. A dashboard is available to us where we can view different categories. We can see any IAM-related risks, any discovered vulnerabilities, any incidents, or any network-level issues."
"As a pure-play CSPM, it is pretty good. From the data exposure perspective, Prisma Cloud does a fairly good job. Purely from the perspective of reading the conflicts, it is able to highlight any data exposures that I might be having."
"Integrating with a CI/CD pipeline and incorporating a vulnerability assessment process are highly effective features, especially when combined with runtime protection."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
 

Cons

"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."
"If something happens in our infrastructure, the alert appears on the dashboard, but I have to log in to the dashboard and refresh it. I would prefer it to provide better alerting and notifications so that I can resolve issues on priority."
"The Infrastructure as Code service available in PingSafe and the services available in AWS cloud security can be merged so that we can get the security data directly from AWS cloud in PingSafe. This way, all the data related to security will be in one single place. Currently, we have to check a couple of things on PingSafe, and we have to validate that same data on the AWS Cloud to be sure. If they can collaborate like that, it will be great."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in PingSafe."
"Once all components, including the cloud piece and container runtime piece, integrate further and incorporate an AI layer for better comprehension, it will greatly enhance the utility of Singularity Cloud Security."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"Sometimes, when you assign subnets to regions, the IP address will jump from one location to another because it will automatically change substantially. Then, we need to add those IP subnets to our firewall for existing access. The need to update those subnets potentially causes maintenance or access issues. So far, we can only provide bigger customers with six subnets, and a small company may not be able to access those services."
"Prisma Cloud's application security capabilities should be enhanced."
"The regional cost of Prisma Cloud in South Africa is high and could be improved."
"The deployment and onboarding are plug-and-play, but somewhat hard to handle in terms of integration with external operations tools. The product design isn't up to the current standard. I would recommend having higher standards in terms of integration with other tools, especially operationalized tools."
"While the documentation continually improves, it still has limitations compared to the extensive resources available for older products like hardware firewalls, which have been around for approximately 20 years."
"I have some challenges customizing and personalizing some of the capabilities in the CSPM in terms of new policies and services. We have to reconfigure and rebuild the CSPM."
"The alignment of Twistlock Defender agents with image repositories needs improvement. These deployed agents have no way of differentiating between on-premise and cloud-based image repositories. If I deploy a Defender agent to secure an on-premise Kubernetes cluster, that agent also tries to scan my ECR image repositories on AWS. So, we have limited options for aligning those Defenders with the repositories that we want them to scan. It is scanning everything rather than giving us the ability to be real granular in choosing which agents can scan which repositories."
"When an account is onboarded, if it is missing any permission, it should automatically be updated with the required permissions and policies."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"The solution's reports should include more details of events like device control, live health status of the server, and inventory management."
"The situation with the currency in Turkey makes this solution a little bit on the expensive side, and if it were lowered then it would be more competitive."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."
"It is a little expensive. I would rate it a four out of ten for pricing."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"Prisma Cloud is quite scalable. In our current licensing model, we're able to heavily extend our cloud workload and onboard a lot of customers. It really helps, and it is on par with other solutions."
"The cost depends on the pricing model. Compared to other solutions, the cost isn't that bad."
"Prisma Cloud is more expensive than Check Point CloudGuard."
"The pricing is good. They gave us some good discounts right at the end of the year based on the value that it brings, visibility, and the ability to build in cloud, compliance, and security within one dashboard."
"Prisma Cloud is remarkably expensive."
"Prisma Cloud is a high-end enterprise solution, making it quite expensive."
"If you pay for three years of Palo Alto, it's better. If you're planning on doing this, it's obviously not going to be for one year, so it's better if you go with a three-year license... The only challenge we have is with the public cloud vendor pricing. The biggest lesson I have learned is around the issues related to pricing for public cloud. So when you are doing your segmentation and design, it is extremely important that you work with someone who knows and understands what kinds of needs you will have in the future and how what you are doing will affect you in terms of costs."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
