"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"Atlas security graph is pretty cool. It maps out relationships between components on AWS, like load balancers and servers. This helps visualize potential attack paths and even suggests attack paths a malicious actor might take."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"The most valuable feature of Aqua Security is the scanner."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."
"The container security element of this product has been very valuable to our organization."
"Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"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."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"The cost has the potential for improvement."
"In addition to the console alerts, I would like PingSafe to also send email notifications."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"While PingSafe offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"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."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"Sometimes I got stressed with the UI."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"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 only challenge lies in token verification."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
