Pros
"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features.""Cloud Native Security has helped us with our risk posture and securing our agenda. It has been tremendous in terms of supporting growth.""The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate.""PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us.""We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good.""PingSafe offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily.""It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction.""When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."

"The product serves the purpose of helping streamline our company's application deployment and scaling processes.""Compliance is easy right out-of-the-box with integration to Azure Security, Azure Active Directory, and Azure Policies.""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 serverless capability and auto scale feature are the most valuable.""It employs high availability.""Integration and automation are the best features of the solution.""Its support team resolves technical issues accurately."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Pros →

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution.""Tenable.io detects misconfiguration when you deploy a Docker or Kubernetes container. It's much better to remedy these issues during deployment instead of waiting until the container is already in the production environment.""The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature.""Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security.""The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting.""Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing.""It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."

Cons
"PingSafe's current documentation could be improved to better assist customers during the cluster onboarding process.""One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation.""Their search feature could be better.""In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases.""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.""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.""With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case.""We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."

More Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne Cons →

"The solution's logs have room for improvement.""This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations.""The solution should improve its UI and cost.""In terms of cost perspective, they could make the product more affordable.""I would like to see Azure implement something like the K9 terminal for interacting with Kubernetes clusters. It's a user-friendly CLI interface.""It would be nice if they could handle the management of personal information more efficiently.""The product’s cost could be reduced.""The product needs to support a UI dashboard. I have to execute every single command to check the status of services which takes time."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cons →

"Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability.""The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed.""I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls.""They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed.""The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled.""I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners.""The initial setup is highly complex."
