Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, Microsoft and others in Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP)."We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"The UI is very good."
"Cloud Native Security helps us discover vulnerabilities in a cloud environment like open ports that allow people to attack our environment. If someone unintentionally opens a port, we are exposed. Cloud Native Security alerts us so we can remediate the problem. We can also automate it so that Cloud Native Security will fix it."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"All the features we use are equal and get the job done."
"The mean time to detect has been reduced."
"The most valuable features are the single system for data collection and the alert mechanisms."
"It kinda just gives us another layer of security. So it does provide some sort of comfort that we do have something that is monitoring for abnormal behavior."
"We use the tool for threat detection. AWS includes AI features as well. AWS GuardDuty gives us reports."
"Deployment is great, and we didn't face any big challenges."
"We have over 1,000 employees, and we monitor their activity through AWS GuardDuty."
"The correlation back end is the solution's most valuable feature."
"What we found most valuable in Amazon GuardDuty is its threat detection feature, especially because we were monitoring a huge number of AWS accounts, so we needed a solution that would monitor for any kind of malicious activity. The monitoring aspect of the solution was great because it gave us timely notifications if and when anything happened, and Amazon GuardDuty helped keep us on our toes to make sure we took action right away."
"The solution is easy to use."
"They have multiple great features."
"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."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe."
"Their search feature could be better."
"AWS GuardDuty sometimes shows false positives and should have better detection accuracy."
"Some of the pain points in Amazon GuardDuty was the cost. When compared to some of the other services, depending on how many we had to monitor, if we had a huge range of accounts, as our accounts increased, we had a cost factor that came into play. Sometimes there were issues, for example, with findings that came up, we wanted to add notes and there were issues back then where notes couldn't be entered properly. If we wanted to leave a note such as "Okay, we have assessed this and this is how we feel", or "This is a false positive", Amazon GuardDuty wasn't allowing us to do that. Even with the suppression of certain findings, there was some issue that we had faced at one time. Those were some of the pain points of the solution."
"While sending the alerts to the email, they are not being patched. we have to do the patching and mapping manually. If GuardDuty could include a feature to do this automatically, it will make our job easier. That is something I believe can be improved."
"Amazon GuardDuty could be better enriched in threat intelligence data."
"For the next release, they could provide IPS features as well."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it will help users to understand multiple options."
"For me, I would say just the presentation of findings, like the dashboards and other stuff, could be improved a bit."
"There is currently no consolidated dashboard for AWS GuardDuty. It would be helpful if they could provide a dashboard based on severity levels (high, medium, low) and offer insights account-wise, especially for users utilizing automation structures."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
