"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"The ease of use of the platform is very nice."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"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."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"Technical support is helpful."
"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."
"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"I would like additional integrations."
"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."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
