Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The serverless capability and auto scale feature are the most valuable.""It is appealing to us due to its complexity, which aligns well with our requirements.""The platform's high scalability is one of its biggest advantages.""The tool is budget-friendly.""Its support team resolves technical issues accurately.""Has a good management feature monitored by the cloud service provider.""It is a stable solution.""We find the container orchestration tool that this solution provides to be very valuable."

"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end.""Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis.""The mean time to detect has been reduced.""PingSafe provides email alerts and ranks issues based on severity, such as high, critical, etc., that help us prioritize issues.""The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate.""Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks.""Atlas security graph is pretty cool. It maps out relationships between components on AWS, like load balancers and servers. This helps visualize potential attack paths and even suggests attack paths a malicious actor might take.""The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."

Cons
"In terms of cost perspective, they could make the product more affordable.""Unfortunately, when a microservice fails, Azure can take up to 60 seconds to broadcast an alert to the monitoring agents.""The initial setup is complex.""I would like to see Azure implement something like the K9 terminal for interacting with Kubernetes clusters. It's a user-friendly CLI interface.""The initial setup of AKS is complicated. The setup depends on the cluster, nodes, and lots of other things. There are also lots of extremely critical small devices. Moreover, you will have to pay them even while setting up the solution. It is not like you setup first and then pay for it.""There is room for improvement in automation processes, as well.""The application firewall is lacking some features and there is room for enhancement.""AKS could enhance its functionality by introducing a blueprint feature that streamlines and expedites the process. With a blueprint, users can leverage pre-defined configurations, including some common survey elements, reducing the need for extensive customization and allowing us to focus on our core business activities. Additionally, if the blueprint covers security aspects, it would be greatly beneficial, as it eliminates the need for us to build security expertise from scratch. Currently, we encounter challenges during cloud onboarding, security implementation, and adapting to Kubernetes. Although Microsoft may not consider these as their direct responsibility, providing a blueprint similar to what they offer to developers would be highly advantageous."

"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe.""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.""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.""We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization.""We use PingSafe and also SentinelOne. If PingSafe integrated some of the endpoint security features of SentinelOne, it would be the perfect one-stop solution for everything. We wouldn't need to switch between the products. At my organization, I am responsible for endpoint security and vulnerability management. Integrating both functions into one application would be ideal because I could see all the alerts, heat maps, and reports in one console.""PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced.""It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better.""When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "As you scale your operations, AKS becomes more cost-effective."
  • "We could spend as little as $25 or $30 a month on Kubernetes Services, compared to the typical $100 a month expenditure for a virtual machine."
  • "The cost of the solution is extremely high. Both Amazon and Azure cost extremely high. Given the basic features like when they are coming over the cluster nodes, we think over ten times before giving the solution to clients. No matter how many offerings the solution provides, it becomes so much of a burden that you are not even getting back your invested money from customers."
  • "The control plane is free and we only pay for the usage and time."
  • "It is expensive compared to other vendors."
  • "The product follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model which is good for small enterprises. You need to pay only for the services that you use."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The price of AKS is expensive. We pay approximately $10,000 monthly."

  • "As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
  • "It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
  • "I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
  • "I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
  • "It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
  • "The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
