Featured Reviews

Sreeraj Mohandas - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at HashXpert
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.
Burak AKCAGUN - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Development Manager at Axoft Ukraine
Helps with risk assessments for containers, assessing security, and ensuring container compliance
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. Customers can conveniently view all companies in a single dashboard if they have different companies. This feature eliminates the need for different solutions and separate installations. Moreover, the solution extends beyond servers, encompassing various platforms such as VMware and Kubernetes. Additionally, end-users can install the solution from their client's perspective.
Peter Whelan - PeerSpot reviewer
CISO at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."
"Singularity Cloud Native Security provides us with a platform to scan instances when they are getting created, and the dashboard helps us to identify the critical issues."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"We mostly use alerts. That has been pretty good. If we use the alert system from Amazon, it is much costlier to us, so we use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."
"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."
"The key strength of Singularity Cloud Security lies in its ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in our cloud accounts and identify suspicious activity that warrants further investigation."
"The most valuable feature is the easy-to-understand user interface, which allows even non-technical users to comprehend and resolve issues."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"Runecast is a good partner for VMware. Once we have installed it, we can see all the problems and issues. It also has VMware knowledge-based articles."
"Wiz stands out for its strengths, particularly in agentless scanning and graph-based risk prioritization, in addition to its comprehensive CNAPP capabilities and multi-cloud coverage."
"Wiz significantly helped with our compliance requirements."
"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."
"One of the things that Wiz has done well is that there are no agents for the CSPM, at least from what we are doing, and it is very easy to roll out, easy to configure, maintain, and generally it does what it says it does with few issues."
"Wiz is very effective and very advanced compared to other solutions."
 

Cons

"One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to."
"Many features in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have additional costs, which limits our exploration of the full product."
"Their search feature could be better."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"Customized queries should be made easier to improve SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."
"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"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."
"To enhance the notification system's efficiency, resolved issues should be promptly removed from the portal."
"The product lacks network assessment capabilities. We cannot view our network assets or scan switches, routers, or IPs for vulnerabilities and issues."
"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."
"More or less, Wiz is doing well, but the false alerts at random times would be another area for improvement."
"An area that Wiz can still continue to improve is FinOps."
"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."
"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
"Wiz does encounter some glitches similar to other tools in the market; I remember facing certain challenges, such as problems scanning encrypted disks or discrepancies in the findings from already remediated vulnerabilities not reflecting accurately in the tool."
"Wiz is agentless, which is a plus, but the runtime and real-time detection could be limited, as it is not its strength."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is on the costlier side."
"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"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."
"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"Runecast's pricing is cheaper than that of its competitors."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."
"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
