Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease of use of the platform is very nice.""It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it.""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.""PingSafe has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability.""It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction.""We noted immediate benefits from using the solution.""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 most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don't have to do packet captures on the network.""A complete and powerful micro-segmentation solution.""The solution offers 100% telemetry coverage. The telemetry you collect is not sampled, it's not intermittent. It's complete. You see everything in it, including full visibility of all activities on your endpoints and in your network.""By using Tetration insight, we are able to get the latency on our level accounts and we can determine whatever the issue is with the application latency itself.""It's stable.""The product provides multiple-device integration.""Secure Workload's best feature is that it's an end-to-end offering from Cisco.""Instead of proving that all the access control lists are in place and all the EPGs are correct, we can just point the auditor to a dashboard and point out that there aren't any escaped conversations. It saves an enormous, enormous amount of time."

More Cisco Secure Workload Pros →

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security.""The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost.""When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly.""The UI has a lot of features.""The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities.""The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward.""The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."

More SUSE NeuVector Pros →

Cons
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing.""There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe.""We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting.""The cost has the potential for improvement.""The integration with Oracle has room for improvement.""The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint.""If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have.""The could improve their mean time to detect."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Cons →

"It is not so easy to use and configure. It needs a bunch of further resources to work, which is mainly the biggest downside of it. The deployment is huge.""It is highly scalable, but there is a limitation that it is only available on Cisco devices.""The interface is really helpful for technical people, but it is not user-friendly.""They should scale down the hardware a bit. The initial hardware investment is two million dollars so it's a price point problem. The issue with the price comes from the fact that you have to have it with enormous storage and enormous computes.""The emailed notifications are either hard to find or they are not available. Search capabilities can be improved.""There is some overlap between Cisco Tetration and AppDynamics and I need to have a single pane of glass, rather than have to jump between different tools.""There was a controversy when Cisco reduced the amount of data they kept, and the solution became quite cost-intensive, which made its adoption challenging….Although they have modified it now, I preferred the previous version, and I wish all the functionality were back under the same product.""The product must be integrated with the cloud."

More Cisco Secure Workload Cons →

"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning.""The documentation needs to improve a bit.""The image-scanning features need improvement.""SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful.""The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment.""We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines.""I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."

    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.

    Cisco Secure Workload is a cloud and data security solution that offers a zero-trust policy of keeping an organization’s application workloads safe and secure throughout the entire on-premise and cloud data center ecosystems.

    Cisco Secure Workload will consistently provide protection by discovering workload process anomalies, stopping threats immediately, minimizing the risk threat surface, and aborting any lateral movement.

    Today’s ecosystems are very elastic, and in the application-focused dynamic of today’s aggressive marketplace, Cisco Secure Workload delivers a robust security solution that works effectively with today’s most popular applications. The solution uniquely surrounds each and every workload to ensure organizations are able to keep their data, network, and applications safe and secure at all times. Cisco Secure Workload ensures that enterprise organizations can maintain secure applications by consistently building firewalls around every workload level throughout the entire ecosystem. The solution can manage applications that are deployed on containers, virtual machines, or bare-metal servers.

    Cisco Secure workload is able to meet an organization's busy needs and offers flexible options such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and on-premises options. Using the Secure Workload SaaS options, users receive all the benefits of Cisco Secure Workload protection without the hassle of having to deploy and maintain the platform on premises. Users are responsible for acquiring the necessary software licensing and deploying software agents. Using SaaS, Secure Workload runs in the cloud and is operated and maintained by Cisco. This option offers the ability to scale easily and is a popular choice for SaaS-first and SaaS-only clients. Many organizations find they get the best TCO and achieve the best productivity and profitability using the SaaS options.

    When choosing on-premises options, organizations choose between hardware-based appliance models (large or small form factors). Platform selection is dependent on scalability goals, the desired fidelity level of flow telemetry, and the actual number of workloads. When a user chooses to configure Cisco Secure Workload for a conversation-only flow telemetry for all workloads, each platform has the capability to scale up vertically twice the default platform scale. Additionally, with Secure Workload, it is possible for the platform to be scaled horizontally in order to satisfy the demands of extra large widely distributed enterprise environments using federation capabilities.

    Cisco Secure Workload also provides a robust disaster recovery (DR) tool, which helps to make it a complete, comprehensive solution. The DR allows for continuous restore and backup capabilities that enable users to quickly remediate operations and data to a standby cluster in the event of a drastic failure or disaster.

The solution aims to protect your applications from internal application level attacks such as DDoS and DNS.
    • Capture packets for debugging and threat investigation: WIth NeuVector, you can view summary connection data and drill down into actual packet details for each container, as they scale up and down. When a threat is detected, NeuVector is able to automatically capture and display the packet info, making it easy for you to investigate.
    • Automated security policies: The NeuVector solution allows you to automate the creation of security policies to protect application workloads in production. The solution also enables you to automate and maintain run-time security policies using Kubernetes custom resource definitions (CRDs), and gives you the option to declare an application security policy at any stage in the pipeline.
    • Compliance: NeuVector offers detection capabilities and security policy enforcement that prevent PHI and PII exposure, exceed requirements, and simplify reporting for PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and more. The solution helps you track critical vulnerabilities and compliance violations so you can quickly identify any that require immediate patching or followup alerts. It also makes it possible for you to manage vulnerability and compliance scan results, with no required integration to external workflow tools.
