A great management console, and visibility, but needs more bandwidth
Pros and Cons
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security provides us with better security detection and more visibility. It is another resource that we can use to detect vulnerabilities in our company's systems. For example, it can help us detect new file processes that we are not familiar with, which could be used by attackers to exploit our systems. Singularity Cloud Workload Security can also help us diagnose and analyze data to determine whether it is malicious or not. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is like another pair of eyes that can help us protect our systems from cyberattacks."
  • "Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."

What is our primary use case?

When we receive a ticket about a SentinelOne detection on a specific host, we will first go to the SentinelOne console and look up the endpoint and the case. If there are any threats related to the host, we will then review the activities that have taken place within a specific time frame. We can look at the processes that have run, and how they have propagated from one process to another. We can also look at the timeline of events, from the top down, to see what happened when each process was run. This will help us to determine if any malicious activity has taken place.

We use the cloud-based management console to install SentinelOne on each employee's or host's device. SentinelOne can be installed through the cloud.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Cloud Workload Security provides us with better security detection and more visibility. It is another resource that we can use to detect vulnerabilities in our company's systems. For example, it can help us detect new file processes that we are not familiar with, which could be used by attackers to exploit our systems. Singularity Cloud Workload Security can also help us diagnose and analyze data to determine whether it is malicious or not. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is like another pair of eyes that can help us protect our systems from cyberattacks.

The real-time detection and response capabilities of Singularity Cloud Workload Security are very helpful. When we receive alerts in real-time, we can take action immediately. Within Vigilance, they look at things for us in real-time and let us know if they detect something malicious. This allows us to investigate the incident and see what is happening. If it is a zero-day attack, we can take action immediately to try to mitigate the damage. Having real-time alerts helps us take action more quickly than waiting for a few days for something to happen.

The automated remediation feature works from a database. We upload anything that we have detected before or anything that we can filter into this database. For example, we would upload the known IP addresses of analysts who do penetration testing for us within the company. If one of these IP addresses comes in and is malicious to the company, the solution will detect it. Singularity Cloud Workload Security will check the IP address and automatically classify it as benign. This saves us time because we don't have to manually review the IP address or contact our colleagues. This frees up our time so that we can focus on other things, such as investigating more malicious threats. IP addresses are just one type of data that can be filtered. File processes can also be filtered. Any type of automated filtering helps us reduce the time it takes to investigate a ticket so that we can focus on the most malicious threats.

The historical data record provided by SentinelOne after an attack is helpful in identifying what we can do to protect ourselves from future attacks. We can use this data to understand the cause of the attack and put in place preventive measures, such as educating employees about security best practices. SentinelOne allows us to access up to three or four months of historical data without a request. For data that goes back six months to one year, we need to submit a request. This data can be specific to a particular host, if necessary.

Singularity Cloud Workload Security is a great product. It is very robust and versatile. There are many things we can do with it, even things I have explored in the past two years. We can use different types of queries to narrow down our searches. It is a very powerful tool that has been very helpful to our SOC in analyzing specific incidents.

The solution has decreased our mean time to detect through the automated response process and visuals that give us time to focus on other important things. It definitely gives us the actual time to look at other things instead of focusing on one ticket that may take us 30 minutes to an hour to resolve. This could definitely decrease the coverage time.

The solution has decreased our mean time to remediate. We have many detection systems in our organization, and it takes a lot of manpower to focus on all of them. Integrating SentinelOne into our organization has given us more time to focus on other things, rather than having to look at minor incidents, such as low-severity incidents. SentinelOne detects and remediates these incidents for us, so we don't have to worry about them. This has been a great help, and we no longer need to dedicate as much manpower to these incidents.

The solution helps to free up our SOC staff time to work on other projects and tasks. Thousands of false positive tickets no longer have to be looked at by our SOC team, saving them a lot of time.

The solution has helped our organization become more productive by allowing us to focus on more severe issues instead of wasting time on minor ones.

What is most valuable?

The management console is the most valuable feature. It offers a variety of options for us to view. If a threat is detected, there is a specific area where we can view the different incidents that have occurred. This is the threat that is associated with that host.

We can also have deep visibility into the activities within the host within a specific time frame. This is very useful, especially when we can view the process tree. This allows us to see how one process propagates to another process, and so on. We can then look back to the beginning of the process to see where it came from. How was it downloaded? Which URL did it come from? Was it internal or external? This information has been very helpful when we are diagnosing a specific incident.

The File Fence feature is also useful. When we view a file within Singularity Cloud Workload Security, we can put it into our sandbox to see what type of file it is and whether it is malicious or not. There is also the scan feature, which is very helpful. When we scan a host remotely, it can return to us with information about the detections that were made on that host. This can help us to identify and alert others about any potential threats.

What needs improvement?

Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load. I think this is because the dashboard or management console is slow, especially during downtime or when updates are being applied. Even when I search for a specific query, it takes a while to load. I believe that increasing the bandwidth for query processing would help.

Learn what your peers think about SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: September 2026.
916,956 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I think the stability is decent. However, if they fixed the bandwidth issue, it would be a top contender. Sometimes, when I need to look at the process timeline, it is very difficult to load and takes a long time. We don't always have the time to wait for it to load. I think the stability is okay, but it could be improved.

We used Carbon Black. Carbon Black's stability is pretty good. Its downtime is not as high as SentinelOne's. Carbon Black is a little bit easier to use than SentinelOne. Its user interface is a little bit easier than SentinelOne's. In terms of stability, I think SentinelOne is just a little bit behind Carbon Black. Not by much, but just a little bit.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is fine.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very responsive, and courteous, and provides great customer service. If we need something right away, they will definitely put us on the priority list. We have a special chat channel or a specific team dedicated to our company. We can also email them, and they will usually respond quickly.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used Carbon Black and Tanium for a short time. When I first started at my current organization, they were using both Carbon Black and SentinelOne. However, SentinelOne provides the same level of security as Carbon Black at a lower cost, so the organization stopped using Carbon Black.

If I were to compare SentinelOne to Carbon Black, I would say that they have the same functionality, but Carbon Black has a faster response time. If SentinelOne could improve its bandwidth in this area, it would be a more competitive product.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security a seven out of ten. I noticed some lagging, especially when loading a specific storyline. I also experienced some lag when I had too many windows open.

Based on the company's size and infrastructure, SentinelOne offers different tiers of service for small, medium, and large businesses. For a really small company that doesn't generate a lot of logs, a robust system like SentinelOne may not be necessary. However, for a medium-sized company, SentinelOne can be a valuable asset. It has helped us to reduce our response time, gain more visibility into our security posture, and receive alerts if any devices are lost or stolen. SentinelOne is also more versatile than other solutions in terms of the resources it uses to detect malicious activity. I would recommend that any company considering SentinelOne do their research and talk to other users to see if it is the right fit for their needs.

Singularity Cloud Workload Security is a cloud-based solution that does not require much maintenance. The only maintenance required is to keep the filtering list up to date. This can be done with the help of the SentinelOne team.

The interoperability of the solution is fine. I don't have any issue with it.

In my line of work, we innovate by detecting and analyzing specific incidents. Singularity Cloud Workload Security definitely helps us out a lot in terms of detection, creating new queries, and creating new filters.

I suggest they research the solution and test it out. I believe SentinelOne offers a trial version, so they can try it before they buy it. See how they like it. We love it and don't think we can live without it. It gives us so much free time to focus on other things. It's like a home security system. If we miss something, they contact us. If the doors unlock, they let us know. If the battery is dying, they let us know. It has helped us out a lot. It gave us the visibility we didn't have before and continues to give us the visibility we need. I don't know what we would do without it.

Dashboard shows the criticality of issues and helps resolve issues according to their severity
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability."
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for our AWS cloud used in my project and to check the account's vulnerabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our organization a lot. Before using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, we had not covered many points according to vulnerabilities. We have used the solution's dashboard, which shows the criticality of issues, and we have rectified and resolved many issues according to their severity.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability. If it is not a critical problem, we can try to solve it within 4-5 hours. If it's very critical, then we can take action immediately.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes 4-5 hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced. Sometimes, the solution shows false alerts. The comments section has also been turned off for the last 10 to 15 days. These are the two issues I'm facing right now in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for the last three months.

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's scalability an 8-10 out of 10.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution.

What other advice do I have?

Suppose we find a volume not attached to any EC2 instance during scanning. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security detects such vulnerabilities, and we try to resolve them. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an easy-to-use solution. Everybody in my team works with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to monitor any vulnerabilities it detects.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a good tool for security and vulnerability detection for me and my team. The solution is easy to use, and we are very familiar with the dashboard, which shows the criticality of particular problems. It also shows the link to a particular vulnerability or problem so that we can directly go to that particular problem.

Through the solution's dashboard, we can see problems and detect vulnerabilities. Then, we assign each problem to another and try to resolve it. In the pre production environment, we used to try a blue/green deployment. If we try to get any alerts from that particular dashboard, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security will detect them.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our risk posture by 50% to 60%. Earlier, we couldn't identify the things created by mistake during production. If something is created by mistake or if we are unable to detect mistakes in the production environment, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security scans and alerts us of any vulnerabilities.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes approximately 4-5 hours to detect an issue. We conducted a test by creating one issue, which was highlighted in the SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security dashboard within four to five hours. The issue was still present in the SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security scan after we resolved it, and it was removed after four to five hours.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has helped reduce our mean time to remediate, and we immediately take action on the issue. In my opinion, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is really collaborative, and other teams use it at the utmost level. The solution is really helpful for us regarding system security.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has helped us save around 30% to 40% of engineering time. We just see the SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security dashboard for issues it has detected and try to resolve them as soon as possible. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has helped us save approximately 30% to 40% of our resources, time, and money.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is integrated with the AWS tool our team uses to detect vulnerabilities. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a SaaS (Software as a service) solution. We have five to six accounts on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and use them in multiple locations. The solution does not require any maintenance. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a 9 out of 10.

It gives you a consolidated view of compliance and vulnerabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
  • "When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to secure our IT infrastructure and fix vulnerabilities. For example, it tells us if our resources have been inappropriately made public. We provision our infrastructure on AWS and GitHub. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security finds vulnerabilities across our entire network and secrets in our GitHub repositories. It also helps us manage our cloud configurations and security groups. 

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is integrated with Metabolic, Opsgenie, and Slack for notifications. It's also integrated with our security team. They are using a script to correlate the data from SysTrack. 

How has it helped my organization?

When I joined the organization, we didn't have this kind of security tool in our infrastructure. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security helps us secure any resources that were mistakenly made public and other vulnerabilities. Initially, we were primarily focused on projects, not on the security side, but we were dealing with some system vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit, like publicly accessible resources. The detection is highly granular. It gives you small vulnerabilities and very new types. 

The SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security team will help you reduce false positives quickly. When we first used SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, false positives were high, so we contacted the team. They did some testing and modifications, and the problem was solved in one or two days. 

The mean detection time has drastically reduced. The detection time varies depending on what we're scanning. When we're scanning GitHub, it takes 7 to 10 minutes. On the cloud platforms, it depends on resource availability. It takes 10 minutes on the high end, but the mean is about 1 or 2. Overall, it has been reduced by about 10 percent. 

The remediation time is up to us. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security just detects it, but it gives us an assessment and recommendations, making it easier to resolve. When we fix a vulnerability for a particular resource, the issue will not occur again. 

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub. Using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's evidence-based reporting, we can rank the severity of issues as critical, high, medium, etc. Having the ability to prioritize security issues is crucial for any organization. 

One good thing about SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is that it gives you a consolidated view of compliance and vulnerabilities. We can follow SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's guidance and comply with those use cases. When you get an alert, they explain how to resolve those issues. 

The user interface is excellent because we see everything in a single panel and can manage all the operations from one portal. It's integrated with Slack, so we can coordinate on the open tickets. We can also mute notifications. The interface is straightforward and easy to use. Anyone can use it.

The offensive security engine is a helpful feature in cases like when a developer leaves some API element exposed, and we can view the potential exploit path. It's helpful when we are deploying any AWS account or service because all our systems depend on AWS.  When the service is initially deployed, we can see what happens and get all the details about anything that depends on it. 

What needs improvement?

When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for more than 2 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 9 out of 10 for stability. We've never had any glitches. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We've had no issues with scalability. We've onboarded about 6 or 7. There is no digital investment. You can integrate multiple accounts from various providers. 

How are customer service and support?

The support team was valuable during the initial stages. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security contacted us every three weeks. They checked our infrastructure and reviewed all the issues that we were incorporating into the system. They took direct responsibility for the system and could solve queries quickly.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we were using the native tools of each cloud provider. For example, we used GuardDuty on the AWS.

How was the initial setup?

Deploying SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is straightforward. You can onboard new AWS accounts in five to 10 minutes, and it will start scanning very quickly. They give you a script to run on AWS. You can enroll your accounts based on the template, and it starts collecting data. We onboarded six or seven accounts. It hardly took any time. It's a SaaS solution so we don't need to maintain it. We only need to do the onboarding. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 7 out of 10. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security isn't a unique solution. Other solutions have the same features, but I like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security because it's simpler to use. It doesn't require any maintenance and the scalability is good. However, I think other solutions can give the same level of detail and insight. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Is easy to use, scalable, and quick to deploy but technical support can be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate."
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process."

What is our primary use case?

As a financial institution, we rely on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security as our single source of truth for both CSVM and CWPP data. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides us with essential security benchmarks, including those for Kubernetes deployments and CSVMs. It also allows us to monitor our overall cloud security posture and identify vulnerabilities for remediation. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security serves as a centralized platform for all our cloud security metrics.

How has it helped my organization?

We rely on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for all our reporting needs. It serves as a comprehensive tool for vulnerability management, ISC management, and reporting on hard-coded secrets. Additionally, it functions as a source for vulnerability identification.

The security engine provides a large vulnerability database. While it's not exhaustive, it's a valuable resource due to its significant size and well-organized data. This database allows for effective security management and vulnerability identification.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's meant time to remediation abilities a 10 out of 10.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security helps the collaboration between our cloud security app developers and AppSec team.

What is most valuable?

The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate. Our security team relies on it for several tasks. They can use it to retrieve Jira tickets and assign them to the appropriate teams for resolution. This functionality helps them identify and address vulnerabilities efficiently.

What needs improvement?

I'm not convinced that SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's features offer significant value for our SecOps team. While it might be useful for stakeholders and management to have a tool that aligns with business goals and provides insights, we could potentially achieve this with open-source CSPM tools. In its current state, I don't see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security directly addressing our specific needs.

While agentless vulnerability scanning is a positive feature, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security lacks the ability to effectively group and customize the provided metrics. This creates a significant limitation, as we cannot easily create the specific metrics that are most useful for our needs. For example, if we want to group a specific set of metrics by a particular label or namespace, there is no straightforward way to do so within SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. The UI offers visualizations for the provided metrics, but it lacks the functionality to segregate and customize them. This inability to create user-defined metrics is a major drawback of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security helped reduce the number of false positives in the previous version of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 1.0. Users reported a high volume of false positives with the newer version, and it wasn't clear how SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 2.0 would address this issue. Additionally, users have to manually mute many false positives in SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 2.0, which is a significant drawback.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's mean time to detect ability a 6 out of 10.

While Cloud Security Posture Management tools offer valuable functionality, selling a product solely based on open-source CSPM solutions can be challenging. To differentiate themselves, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security should focus on two key areas: security and workload protection within the CI/CD pipeline. Firstly, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security needs to provide robust security features beyond basic CSPM capabilities. This could involve advanced threat detection and mitigation functionalities. Secondly, workload protection within the CI/CD pipeline is crucial. Here, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security should offer insightful metrics that are well-organized and allow for user customization. This means providing granular control over metric segmentation. Users should be able to define their own metrics and choose how they want them aggregated. Ideally, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security should allow users to import custom metrics and create custom segregations based on their specific needs, such as namespaces or custom levels. For example, if SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security gathers metrics from Kubernetes clusters, users should be able to define their own metrics alongside the pre-defined ones and organize them into relevant categories. This level of customization allows stakeholders to focus on the metrics that matter most to them, potentially reducing the overwhelming volume of data from thousands of records to a more manageable set of hundreds. In conclusion, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security should prioritize UI improvements and offer advanced data segregation capabilities to truly stand out in the marketplace. This will empower users to tailor their security posture management experience to their specific needs.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process. Providing comprehensive documentation with clear and abundant examples would greatly enhance the user experience for new customers. This would empower them to set up their clusters efficiently and effectively.  

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for 1.5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security seems to be stable, with no reported crashes. However, there's also not a lot of traffic going through the service. It's unclear exactly what SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security does internally.

There aren't many users who actively add technical details to run SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's tools. Additionally, it seems we don't actively incorporate new features. Ideally, clients should share proper answer keys so we can identify if their app crashes.

If we could onboard more users, we could potentially gain access to more resources. However, a recurring issue is missing data. Clients sometimes provide extensions, but clicking on them reveals no information. This lack of data is a significant drawback, even though the system itself seems stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is scalable and supports multiple tenancies with no drawbacks.

How are customer service and support?

As a mature organization, we expect a higher level of service from our technical support providers. Unfortunately, we've found that the responses from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's technical support team have been repetitive and not particularly helpful, especially considering the cost of their services. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment is straightforward.

It doesn't take more than 30 minutes to deploy SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security into an organization using any cloud platform.

One person can complete the deployment. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security'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.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 5 out of 10.

Our organization primarily relies on our internal scanning tool for IaC security. While many industry tools utilize open-source IaC scanning solutions under the hood, we haven't found significant value in adopting SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's specific IaC offering. This solution might be more beneficial for organizations lacking dedicated SecOps teams, but its additional cost is a factor to consider.

It should transition from an agent-based system to an agentless one. This is crucial because many industry tools are moving in this direction, and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security should follow suit. They should also introduce more features, improve security compliance, and place greater focus on Kubernetes, RBAC systems, and visualization. If they do choose to maintain an agent-based system, they should significantly improve their metric collection capabilities. This would be beneficial because currently, customer response times seem to be slow. By addressing these requirements, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can ensure continued growth.

Offers a great dashboard and good UI
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
  • "The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

My company is trying to get an ISO certification by the second quarter of 2024, so we have been resolving certain security issues for the past year.

I use the solution in my company, where we have alerts coming from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, especially if any security threats are there. Our company's primary concern in using the tool is to get the ISO certification. My company wants to get our infrastructure to meet ISO standards so that there won't be any issues while getting ISO certification.

How has it helped my organization?

With the product in my organization, I feel that we are more secure now, and our services have become better. My company gets to know if we are doing something right or wrong based on the scans that SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security deploys. My company doesn't have to care much about security because SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes care of it for us. My company also knows what all the best practices are there for each resource, which gives us a boundary of what we can do.

What is most valuable?

Most of the time, I have looked at the tool's dashboard to keep an eye on how much of my company is compliant regarding certain areas since we are eyeing ISO 22000 and ISO 22001. I just love the tool's dashboard, though I have not used it in depth. I like the dashboard mainly, and I know that all sections of ISO certification have been completed. I have not used the tool that much, but under that dashboard itself if I just click on the certification part, which states that 93 percent has been completed, it will show me the subcategories of what all things are still pending or how much percentage of it is still pending, and how many areas are yet to be resolved in relation to some of the resources. The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features.

What needs improvement?

When I joined my organization, I saw that SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security was already implemented. I started to use the tool's alerting features and dashboard functionalities. Considering how much I used the product, I don't see any areas in it where improvements are required since everything seems fine.

Sometimes, there are alerts that don't have proper messaging attached. The tool can improve the alerting notifications. In SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, the alerts also show the affected resource that has a particular issue, but sometimes, the account shows as not applicable, and it isn't very helpful since you need to know the account the tool aims to point out.

The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for more than a year. My company is a customer of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

My company has not experienced bugs, downtime, or any other issues in the product.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a 7 out of 10.

My company's tech team consists of twelve people and around ten to twelve people use the product.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support an 8-9 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution is deployed using the cloud services offered by AWS.

What other advice do I have?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security regularly sends us messages on Slack for cloud security monitoring if it finds a certain security threat. If the area revolving around the security threat is something my company wants to look into, we just quickly check the product to see if there is a quick fix, and if there are no solutions, then we find a way to deal with it. A person from our company's team regularly tries to fix all the issues raised by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security so that it is ISO compatible, and right now, my company is close to achieving it.

Speaking about the issues my company was trying to resolve by implementing SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security in our environment, I would say that whatever issues the tool has raised till now are related to certain policies that we might not have implemented in our IAM. There should only be certain roles that can access certain resources. The aforementioned area consists of the types of issues my company is currently trying to resolve so that we stay up to the mark. In my company, we don't have any regular threats that come up, but they are mainly used in regard to policies.

Considering how much I have used it to date, I can say that it is an easy-to-use product. However, I have not used the product in-depth, so I can't comment much about it.

If I assess the evidence-based reporting for helping prioritize and solve important cloud security issues, I would say that the concerns raised by the product are valid ones, and it is important to deal with them. Though I am not sure what the question entails, I feel that the issues raised by the product are proper, and they should be resolved before actually implementing its features.

I think it is very important for the solution to include proof of exploitability in evidence-based reporting. You have to know what things might go wrong if an issue is not resolved, and it makes it easier for us to assess key issues and to decide which areas should be taken into priority, considering what potential issues might crop up in the long run or short term. In general, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a quite helpful tool.

The most valuable feature of the tool in terms of real-time threat detection stems from the alerts my company receives via Slack. I think the alert feature is something I have majorly looked into, but I haven't explored many of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security'd features.

Whether the compliance monitoring capabilities of the tool have benefited our organization or not is something that we will get to know soon via its results in the next two or three months. My company is very close to getting ISO certification with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's help. I think if it gave our company a demo compliance feature, it could be helpful.

The product's UI is good if I speak about the impact of its ease of use on security operations. The UI is very easy to navigate. Basically, I was able to navigate through the tool's dashboard. Overall, the tool's UI structure looks good.

My company has rarely had to deal with an incident involving a false positive with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security in place, and I believe that it happened at the end of the previous year. After that, my company didn't need to deal with any false positives. With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, the chances of seeing a false positive are rare.

In terms of risk posture, after going through the recommendations provided by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security during the implementation phase, I feel that my solution has helped my company get better and more secure because now we are less vulnerable to attacks. Overall, I think that the product is good for improving an organization's risk posture. In my company, we don't have any doubts about using the product since everything feels right with it.

The tool has reduced the mean time to detect risks since, with the use of the tool, it has become faster as it is now done automatically. In my company, I operate in a very small team where we don't have a specific person or department giving us insights about a particular tool. The tool has reduced the mean time to detect risks by more than 50 percent. My company never scanned our own infrastructure until SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security did. Until my company had it in mind that we wanted to get an ISO certification, we never scanned our infrastructure.

The mean time required to remediate is an area that has improved a lot. My company has never tried to resolve any issues since we have never detected any problems. The mean time to remediate has improved by more than 50 percent.

The product can make the collaboration between cloud security application developers and AppSec teams better. In my company, we only have one team, and we don't have a few departments.

The product has helped my company save a lot of engineering time because we don't have to put up physical resources to do many things, as they are managed automatically. In my company, we just have to employ one engineer to resolve everything. My company doesn't actually have to spend time detecting issues and then solving them as the tool solves them for us.

I have not integrated the tool with the existing solutions in my company's infrastructure or workflows. I use it as a standalone product in my company.

The product is used in just one location.

I don't think that the product requires any maintenance. I don't think that my company does any maintenance for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. I think the tool has a very good alerting system. The tool also gives a proper description of resources and alerts. I think that the tool is very good for meeting the certification compliance requirements.

I rate the overall tool a 9 out of 10.

Multi-cloud support, easy setup, and good granularity for rules
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."

What is our primary use case?

We are a security-based company. We use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to put our data planes on it. We have a cloud setup, and we have integrated SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security into our environment. It checks for any audit or security-related issues.

By implementing SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, we wanted a centralized solution. We have many AWS accounts to manage, so we wanted a single dashboard with analytics. We wanted to be able to view and monitor everything at once. We also wanted to customize the rules on which we wanted the alerts to be set up. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security was a better option for our use case.

How has it helped my organization?

We have multiple rules set up on SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for things that we want to monitor. We have set up something for restricted access for SSH, and then we have access to the EC2 instances. If any of the rules are broken or if there is a bad actor, we get notified quickly. It also helps with the audit and keeping the infrastructure clean.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security includes proof of exploitability in its evidence-based reporting. This is quite important for us because we are a security-based company. We want to tag each and every alert correctly. We also need to provide RCA to the customers. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security forms a very good basic layer for things that are happening in the infrastructure. The reports that it gives are also nice. It gives us information about the impact and other things. It helps us.

Its setup is good. It also depends on how finely you want to set it up. It depends on the rules you set, the thresholds you set, and how quickly you act on things. We did not want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to act on things, so we went for a basic setup without any auto-remediation. We act on the issues. It provides us with a basic layer of security.

Previously, we used to find issues from the AWS console and the AWS logs, but because we had multiple AWS accounts, finding out the issues was a bit of a pain point for us. We had to go inside 30 to 40 AWS accounts to find out the capabilities. We had to write our own automation scripts to find the full logs. We wanted a solution that gave us a centralized place to put all the issues that we were facing based on security concerns. With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, we found a centralized solution. It was easy for us to get the data of 30 to 40 clusters in a single dashboard. It was pretty nice to have that. The UI seems a bit confusing initially, but once you start using it, it becomes more intuitive.

There is a team that is working on setting it up on ISE. So far, with just a vanilla setup, it is doing its job, and we are happy with it.

There are a few false positives, but we want them to be there. We do not want to miss out on something. We want everything to be monitored. It does not matter to us if it is a false positive. At the end of the day, the cost that we would pay by ignoring a true positive thinking it is a false positive would be much higher than going through false positives and marking them as false positives.

For every module and everything that we do on our AWS clusters, we evaluate the risk individually, and then SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security forms an extra layer of security on top of the personal checks that we do. It is like a shield for us. It helps us a lot.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has reduced the mean time to detect issues by a lot. Earlier, it was a very manual process to detect errors. There was not a single place where we could look into all the alerts. They were all scattered. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security unified that. With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, once the alert is detected, we can just look into it directly. We can go into a specific cluster, resolve the issues, and mark it as resolved. There is a 45% to 50% reduction in the mean time to detect.

Our mean time to remediate remains the same because we have manual remediation. There is no change in that. The main issue for us was to be able to detect issues, and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security solved that for us, but because remediation is taken care of by us manually, the mean time to remediate remains the same.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is continuously monitored by the customer success engineering team and the security team. These people contact the infrastructure team. The application team is not involved because we mostly monitor the infrastructure side. That is the AWS side. It helps us with better collaboration. When the time zones change, we do not have to give a lot of context or change information across different time zones to different people. They can go into the console, see the issue, and continue to work on it.

Earlier, if there was a security issue, it had to be handed over to people in different time zones. Because we are a global company, we have on-calls and other things. Earlier, it used to be a big process. We had to write down the whole documentation of what happened, where we were seeing the issue, and whether it was resolved or not. We had to provide the complete information on that single issue. Things are simpler now because people can just log into it and see what is in the pending state and which security vulnerabilities we are still facing. A person in a different time zone can just log into the SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security console and start remediating the issue.

What is most valuable?

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 integration is quite easy. It took around 15 minutes for the whole stack to set up. It was very easy to set up. That was one of the best things.

The custom rules are also valuable. We can set up our own thresholds on the rules. We can have a granular setup for the rules. We can also scan for specific ports and specific AWS modules. The granularity of rules is good. 

What needs improvement?

In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier. Initially, I had problems finding a few things and creating the policies. It was a bit difficult for me, but after going through the documentation, it got easier.

I was checking the IaC checks that they have, and they can add something for auto-remediating IaC. They can integrate something that will help auto-remediate on IaC and make needed changes to the code. They can also integrate something like CoPilot.

Other than that, I do not have any input. They have covered quite a bit. They are doing a good job. The features are good for what we are using it for right now.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for 3 to 4 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is good. We do not have a high volume. It is doing well for the scale that we have. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is good. I would rate it an 8 out of 10 for scalability. It meets our requirements. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security does the very basic job of collecting the CloudWatch logs, keeping them in a centralized place, and looking for errors. We have scaled it across all of our AWS accounts, and it is doing well. I do not see any issues coming in the future as well.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is being used by our infrastructure team. There are 15 to 20 people who keep a check.

How are customer service and support?

Their support was good. I would rate them an 8 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not have anything like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security before.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. It only took about 15 minutes.

We initially had issues handling the setup. We were doing it slightly wrong. We ran it multiple times which messed up the setup. We got SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security folks on the call. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security people assisted us with it, and it was very quick once they were on the call.

We are on the cloud. We have different AWS clusters, and we have onboarded AWS clusters to it. There is a single dashboard for us. We have not integrated it with anything else. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a separate system running, and we have not integrated it with anything. Being a security company, we are directly adding third-party solutions to our stack. 

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security does not require any maintenance from our side. It was a one-time installation, and since then, we have not had any issues with it.

What other advice do I have?

Based on the things that we have tested, it does a pretty good job of alerting and reporting. If you have a highly scaled environment with 50 to 60 AWS clusters and you are looking for a tool that simplifies getting security logs, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is the perfect solution. It does the job. I would recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to others.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has an auto-remediation feature, but we are not using that because we have to give a lot of access to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for that. We are not willing to do so. That is why we do not use the auto-remediation offered by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. We just get the alerts, and then we act on them. We also do not use agentless vulnerability scanning, IaC scanning, and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's Offensive Security Engine.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security an 8 out of 10.

Provides a unified dashboard, reduces detection times, and strengthens our security posture
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
  • "We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."

What is our primary use case?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers a variety of functionalities, including cloud configuration assessment and detailed misconfiguration reports. It automates vulnerability scanning, saving us time and effort. Additionally, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security allows us to filter compliance-related findings and provides consolidated reports for a comprehensive view.

Furthermore, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can conduct customized posture management research for Cloud Posture Management initiatives. This eliminates the need for complex, independent research. Finally, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security helps us understand our readiness for specific security certifications.

How has it helped my organization?

One of the key features of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security that we utilize is its cloud-based configuration. This helps with our cloud security monitoring processes. This allows for infrastructure automation and broader implementation access. To mitigate this risk, we have multiple personnel actively monitoring activity to safeguard against vulnerabilities, employing vulnerability scanning techniques.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security simplifies managing compliance. It gives us a clear compliance report, allowing us to easily identify areas for improvement and achieve full compliance. This makes it a valuable resource.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is easy to use. I would rate the ease of use 9 out of 10 compared to our previous tool which had good features but was not as intuitive as SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and had bugs.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's dashboard provides a single place for managing everything, including reporting and prioritization. Previously, we relied on Jira, which required submitting and closing tickets. This meant we were juggling both Jira and separate ticket management. Now, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security consolidates everything into a single dashboard, allowing us to see all issue priorities and address them directly. As a result, our resolution times have significantly improved, going from 9 days down to 3.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's proof of exploitability in evidence-based reporting is important. We can see all the evidence and assess it to see why the vulnerability has come up. We are also able to edit the policies and create custom policies.

Identifying preproduction issues in the IAC template or container configuration files is helpful. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security notifies us if the public rate defined is different which should not happen. Sometimes we encounter false positives but not many.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security improved our security through the cloud configuration feature. We receive notifications if someone makes changes and our mitigation time has gone from up to 30 days down to nine.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security generates some alerts that we categorize as false positives. These can occur, for instance, when someone uses a publicly available open-source tool and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security flags it. While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's detection is valid in itself, we consider it a false positive because our development doesn't rely on that particular tool.

Our recent security assessment revealed a positive change in our security posture. We've moved from a medium to a high rating, thanks in part to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has reduced our mean time to detect by 40 percent.

It has reduced our mean time to remediate down to 9 days.

Using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, our cloud security, application development, and AppSec teams have achieved a high level of collaboration. All work is automatically updated within SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, allowing each team to generate reports, review identified issues, and work towards resolving them.

Integrating AI with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has strengthened our security posture.

What is most valuable?

It offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning.

What needs improvement?

We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities. Ideally, we should be able to review logs and track user access.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for 1.5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 10 out of 10.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 10 out of 10. We are using multiple clouds and have integrated them with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security allowing us to easily scale.

How are customer service and support?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides excellent technical support. In addition to monthly guidance, we also receive a comprehensive quarterly business review. We haven't needed to contact their support team outside of these scheduled interactions. We also have a customer support engineer readily available to assist us whenever we encounter any issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We switched to SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security because of the price and user-friendly functionality.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was easy because it was cloud-based and handled by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security. The entire deployment process only took 1 day. We had a meeting beforehand, and the next day, they provided us with the steps to follow. We successfully integrated the system by following these instructions. 2 people from our organization were involved in the deployment.

What was our ROI?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has delivered a return on investment by enabling collaborating teams to save up to 50 percent of their time.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is fairly priced.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security 9 out of 10.

10 people in our organization use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to others.

Helps prioritize and solve issues, and provides good visibility into the threat landscape
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."

What is our primary use case?

We are running the entire cloud base on AWS infrastructure. The major use case for this product is cloud misconfiguration because a lot of changes keep happening in our environment. There are multiple teams and multiple verticals within our organization. We have different verticals across different business units. They have their local IT infrastructure teams, and all these teams are making changes. 

We have IT admins at multiple locations. There is a team of 10 to 12 members. It was a challenge to manage cloud security when they made changes, spun up new servers, or created new instances for new projects. Cloud misconfiguration was one of the major areas where we saw issues because things were not getting created as per the process or security protocol. When they are creating instances, they are not aware of the implications and the security incidents that may happen by keeping certain ports open. They might not be aware of the security issues that may come up. So, cloud misconfiguration was one of the main reasons why we opted for this product.

Another reason was to have a dashboard for the management and for the centralized team. We are a part of the centralized team that is taking care of the entire platform. It is very necessary for us to keep track of the changes and see if any P1 or critical security incidents are open. They are a risk to our organization's security. We wanted to have such visibility. Manually keeping track of those changes and open issues was very difficult for us.

How has it helped my organization?

It highlights critical or high-priority incidents. That is helpful. When we have a lot of issues on the dashboard, we can at least prioritize them based on the severity. We target critical incidents first and then move to the high-priority incidents. We still have medium and low-priority incidents on the dashboard. We require some amount of time to fix them. From a reporting perspective, it helps us to prioritize accordingly. We know that at least from a high-impact point of view, we are secure.

We do generic vulnerability scanning whenever there are any new changes or we are building any new applications. We keep the generic vulnerability scanning on whenever any new instances are created, and we run the scan once a week for already created instances.

We have not explored evidence-based reporting much. It is a good feature, but we mostly look at the priority of the incidents. We fix them based on the criticality. The description of the issues and the categorization make it easy to utilize the reports.

It has affected our risk posture. All the critical incidents and high-priority issues have been resolved. We are in a better place now in terms of risk posture. The medium-severity issues still need to be fixed, but earlier, we used to have critical incidents as well. We did not have any visibility into those things. We are now quite confident that we do not have any major security issues. We keep running the scan every week. It helps us to detect any new changes or vulnerabilities in our environment.

We could see its benefits immediately in terms of visibility. Previously, we did not have any visibility into where we were in terms of the security landscape. That benefit was immediate, and then we started fixing the problems and reduced critical issues and high-priority issues. We became confident in our security, and we were able to secure the environment wherever we had an incident. Its benefits were immediate from a visibility point of view, and then it took two to three months to have a direct impact in terms of security.

Singularity Cloud Native Security helped us to reduce false positives. We also have a managed service provider. We took their help to reduce false alarms and other issues. It also helped us to implement some of the best practices while creating any instances or making any changes to any particular instances. We created best practices and standard operating procedures for the infrastructure team. They follow the standard operating procedures while making any changes or creating any instances. We are seeing a drop in the number of issues compared to two or three years ago.

Our remediation time is reduced. Initially, it took some time to identify the remediation steps and what had to be done to fix the problems, but now we know what needs to be done. From a prevention point of view, we now know what we should not do. That has helped with changes that we keep on doing in the environment.

What is most valuable?

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. We created a road map and prioritized the issues based on the criticality of the problem. We have reduced P1s. We have resolved any critical incidents that came up in the dashboard. We still get high-priority incidents, and we keep on prioritizing and fixing them. That is because we have visibility into the open issues that we have. Management is also happy. They are aware of the things that are coming up on the dashboard. They are aware of the impact and the risk. We did not have this visibility previously. All the teams that are a part of IT are aware of the importance of it. It has been included as part of our software development cycle.

It is very easy to use. The user interface or the dashboard is quite simple. It clearly shows you the type of issues that are there. It also breaks down and groups them into the types of issues. If I have 100 issues on the dashboard, it categorizes them. Out of these 100 issues, 50 of them might be related to the same category. If I choose one of the high-priority incidents and fix them, all 50 issues might get fixed. This way, it is a bit easier for us to target specific use cases and resolve a lot of underlying problems. The descriptions are helpful. It gives us information about how to resolve a particular problem. It is easier when the tool itself tells you what you have to do to fix an issue. You can then research more and get it done. It is quite simple. Even the leaders who are not very technical can understand what is the impact and what is causing the problem.

What needs improvement?

They can provide some kind of alert when a new type of risk is there. There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified.

We use Jira for pushing any changes. If any kind of integration is possible between Jira and the Singularity Cloud Native Security dashboard, it will be easier for us to track. Before approving in Jira, I can ensure that any issues in Singularity Cloud Native Security are closed. Such an integration will be helpful.

Its pricing model is a little bit inflexible. Different organizations have different structures. We have multiple business units. Based on the different verticals, we have to create different subscriptions for them. If I create a new subscription and add it to Singularity Cloud Native Security, as per the current licensing model, I have to pay more for that. It should not be like that. It should be based on the number of servers. This kind of flexibility would help customers like us.

For how long have I used the solution?

It has been close to two years since we have been using this solution. Prior to this, we were working with CrowdStrike, and then we migrated to SentinelOne two years back.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not seen any issue with Singularity Cloud Native Security.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If any slowness is there, we will probably wait and run it after half an hour or one hour. Nothing major has been highlighted to me or has been a blocker as such. The pricing model is the only thing that would be a concern. 

How are customer service and support?

We take help from our managed service provider. If we have to fix any particular problem that we are not aware of or do not have the expertise for, we get help from the managed service provider. They have a service team with experts. They get it done for us.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not directly use any other solution. We have a managed service provider. We have taken their help, but it was more of a tool that they used at their end, and then they shared a report with us. Based on that report, we took action. It was not a regular thing that we used to do. Once in a quarter, we would probably allow them to scan and send us a report. Based on that, we used to take action. That was the process that we used to follow earlier.

How was the initial setup?

Its implementation was a little bit difficult because it was a new tool that we were using. It takes time to understand the issues, specifically in terms of what has to be done to fix them. Aligning all the teams was a little bit difficult for the initial two to three months, but once we understood the product and what needed to be done for the issues that were getting highlighted in the dashboard, it was easy.

Initially, we had to do a lot of sessions to bridge the gap. That was because this initiative was taken by the Cloud Security team and the DevOps team. We needed a lot of patience to collaborate with the engineering or development team. A lot of the issues required help from the engineering team in terms of making changes at the core level as well. It took one or two months of time to do sessions with the developers and create SOP within the development life cycle itself. Overall, the support from the leadership was quite good. All the leaders agreed that this is a very important change that we are bringing into the organization, and it will be an ongoing thing that we need to follow. We have also added it as part of the SDLC. We use Jira to manage changes and defects. We have added security as one of the flags over there. Someone from the InfoSec team has to give a sign-off for any changes that are happening. If a project is going live, he has to check any open issues in Singularity Cloud Native Security. He has to give a sign-off before the project goes live. That is one of the changes that we have pushed in terms of the product life cycle itself, and that has helped to align different things. Unless they get a sign-off from the InfoSec team, it cannot be deployed. Everyone knows the process now. It is a part of the cycle.

It took at least 45 days to deploy and utilize all the features. We did not do it in one go. We did it phase-wise. We opted for one subscription, and then we slowly deployed it across other subscriptions.

It does not require any maintenance from our side. We have a managed service provider, and they are keeping track of it. There is no additional maintenance as such. We just have to keep track of things. It is more of a process adherence and making sure that we keep a check before we push anything into production.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to Singularity Cloud Native Security, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of Singularity Cloud Native Security was low. 

Singularity Cloud Native Security is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning. There should not be an extra charge for adding a subscription, and the pricing should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning.

What other advice do I have?

We are not using Singularity Cloud Native Security's Offensive Security Engine. We used the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Scanning initially. When the demo was given, we had to use that scanning, but it is not something that we keep running on a regular basis.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten. I am quite happy with the service and the value that it provides. The one point that I am not giving is because of the pricing model. If it had a more flexible pricing model, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
