Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, Microsoft and others in Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP)."We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"Cloud Native Security has helped us with our risk posture and securing our agenda. It has been tremendous in terms of supporting growth."
"PingSafe 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."
"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."
"The main feature is the security posture assessment through the security score. I find that to be very helpful because it gives us guidance on what needs to be secured and recommendations on how to secure the workloads that have been onboarded."
"One important security feature is the incident alerts. Now, with all these cyberattacks, there are a lot of incident alerts that get triggered. It is very difficult to keep monitoring everything automatically, instead our organization is utilizing the automated use case that we get from Microsoft. That has helped bring down the manual work for a lot of things."
"Using Security Center, you have a full view, at any given time, of what's deployed, and that is something that is very useful."
"It's got a lot of great features."
"The entire Defender Suite is tightly coupled, integrated, and collaborative."
"The solution's robust security posture is the most valuable feature."
"The product has given us more insight into potential avenues for attack paths."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the remote workforce capabilities and the general experience of the remote workforce."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
"We had a glitch in PingSafe where it fed us false positives in the past."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"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."
"I would suggest building a single product that addresses endpoint server protection, attack surface, and everything else in one solution. That is the main disadvantage with the product. If we are incorporating some features, we end up in a situation where this solution is for the server, and that one is for the client, or this is for identity, and that is for our application. They're not bundling it. Commercially, we can charge for different licenses, but on the implementation side, it's tough to help our end-customer understand which product they're getting."
"I felt that there was disconnection in terms of understanding the UI. The communication for moving from the old UI to the new UI could be improved. It was a bit awkward."
"The solution could extend its capabilities to other cloud providers. Right now, if you want to monitor a virtual machine on another cloud, you can do that. However, this cannot be done with other cloud platform services. I hope once that is available then Defender for Cloud will be a unified solution for all cloud platform services."
"The documentation and implementation guides could be improved."
"The solution could improve by being more intuitive and easier to use requiring less technical knowledge."
"Customizing some of the compliance requirements based on individual needs seems like the biggest area of improvement. There should be an option to turn specific controls on and off based on how your solution is configured."
"Microsoft can improve the pricing by offering a plan that is more cost-effective for small and medium organizations."
"Azure Security Center takes a long time to update, compared to the on-premises version of Microsoft Defender."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
