Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing.""The ease of use of the platform is very nice.""Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features.""The management console is the most valuable feature.""Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful.""The agentless vulnerability scanning is great.""The solution is a good alerting tool.""PingSafe offers comprehensive security posture management."

"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines.""The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable.""The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability.""Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features.""It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats.""It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly.""There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product.""Technical support is helpful."

"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability. The solution also has good KB articles that make it simple for users to do the deployment of Skyhigh Security themselves, without the need for integrators.""Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature.""Skyhigh has given us categorization and rating of websites separate from what the web proxy places on the logs.""The most valuable features of McAfee Web Gateway are anti-malware, reports, and powerful categorization of web pages.""I personally don't have any issues with the performance or the stability of the solution.""The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has.""User analytics.""There is [a feature] called cloud registry where we can see a risk assessment for the cloud services being used. If we want to add a new cloud service or a new cloud application, we can check into it and do an assessment through the cloud registry."

More Skyhigh Security Pros →

Cons
"I would like additional integrations.""Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing.""There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer.""We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in PingSafe.""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.""I would like PingSafe's detections to be openly available online instead of only accessible through their portal. Other tools have detections that are openly available without going through the tool.""They can work on policies based on different compliance standards.""I want PingSafe to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, PingSafe is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If PingSafe had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Cons →

"The UI part needs to be improved.""The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing.""It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory.""The only challenge lies in token verification.""The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it.""The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive.""CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive.""Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Cons →

"The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation.""One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps.""You have to have some kind of background with cloud-based security, like working with different providers and how to make instances in the clouds and that kind of stuff - including cloud, networking cloud, cloud application development, anything like that is a requirement to be in the CASB space.""I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go.""McAfee Web Gateway could improve the reporting. We have the reporting on a separate server and sometimes the database becomes full. These aspects could improve.""User interface could be more intuitive.""The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP.""The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."

    Overview

    Singularity Cloud Security is SentinelOne’s comprehensive, cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP). It combines the best of agentless insights with AI-powered threat protection, to secure and protect your multi-cloud infrastructure, services, and containers from build time to runtime. SentinelOne’s CNAPP applies an attacker’s mindset to help security practitioners better prioritize their  remediation tasks with evidence-backed Verified Exploit Paths™. The efficient and scalable runtime protection, proven over 5 years and trusted by many of the world’s leading cloud enterprises, harnesses local, autonomous AI engines to detect and thwart runtime threats in real-time. CNAPP data and workload telemetry is recorded to SentinelOne’s unified security lake, for easy access and investigation.

    Singularity Cloud Security includes both agentless and AI-powered cloud security controls, which represent two halves of our strategy to keep public cloud and container environments safe. Radically reduce your cloud attack surface with Singularity Cloud Native Security, formerly PingSafe, with agentless insights and evidence-based prioritization; protect runtime compute and container with Singularity Cloud Workload Security, SentinelOne’s real-time CWPP, with AI-powered machine-speed blocking of threats.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a platform of cloud security solutions aimed at protecting organizations from breaches while simplifying cloud security management. The unified platform combines several cloud security functionalities for comprehensive protection. Built on the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform, it leverages the powerful agent and technology used in CrowdStrike's renowned endpoint protection solutions, extending its capabilities seamlessly to cloud environments.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is designed to be a shield for the cloud infrastructure. One of its key strengths is its ability to monitor cloud workloads for potential breaches and attacks. It doesn't matter if you're running virtual machines, containers, or a combination of both across different cloud providers – Falcon Cloud Security offers visibility and protection. Additionally, it works tirelessly to pinpoint misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in your cloud setup, proactively stopping issues before they become full-blown security incidents. Compliance becomes easier too, as it can check if your deployments meet the requirements of various industry standards and regulations.

    If you heavily utilize containers and Kubernetes, Falcon Cloud Security has you covered. It delves deep into container images and running containers to spot weaknesses and potential threats, helping you secure your containerized applications from the moment they're developed to when they're up and running. Finally, it tackles the often messy world of permissions in the cloud. Falcon Cloud Security analyzes identities and their attached permissions, ensuring that the principle of least privilege is followed and sensitive data isn't exposed due to overly broad access rights.

    In essence, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security aims to simplify the complexities of cloud security by consolidating tools, providing a centralized view of your risks and threats, and delivering advanced protection that blends seamlessly with your development processes.

    Based on the interviews we conducted with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security users, overall, the sentiment is positive. Users praise the solution's efficacy in detecting and preventing threats, its ease of use, scalability, stability, and integration with existing systems. There were also mentions of areas for improvement, such as the pricing, the user interface, and customer support.
