"I like CSPM the most. It captures a lot of alerts within a short period of time. When an alert gets triggered on the cloud, it throws an alert within half an hour, which is very reasonable. It is a plus point for us."
"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."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"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."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"PingSafe offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"Its reports are nice and provide information about the issue as well as resolution. They also provide a proper fix. If there's an issue, they provide information in detail about how to remediate that issue."
"What is valuable about Snyk is its simplicity."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"I think all the standard features are quite useful when it comes to software component scanning, but I also like the new features they're coming out with, such as container scanning, secrets scanning, and static analysis with SAST."
"We're loving some of the Kubernetes integration as well. That's really quite cool. It's still in the early days of our use of it, but it looks really exciting. In the Kubernetes world, it's very good at reporting on the areas around the configuration of your platform, rather than the things that you've pulled in. There's some good advice there that allows you to prioritize whether something is important or just worrying. That's very helpful."
"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The code scans on the source code itself were valuable."
"The resolution suggestions could be better, and the compliance features could be more customizable for Indian regulations. Overall, the compliance aspects are good. It gives us a comprehensive list, and its feedback is enough to bring us into compliance with regulations, but it doesn't give us the specific objects."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."
"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"I would like PingSafe's detections to be openly available online instead of only accessible through their portal. Other tools have detections that are openly available without going through the tool."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"I think Snyk should add more of a vulnerability protection feature in the tool since it is an area where it lacks."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"We use Bamboo for CI.CD, and we had problems integrating Snyk with it. Ultimately, we got the two solutions to work together, but it was difficult."
"We were using Microsoft Docker images. It was reporting some vulnerabilities, but we were not able to figure out the fix for them. It was reporting some vulnerabilities in the Docker images given by Microsoft, which were out of our control. That was the only limitation. Otherwise, it was good."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"The way Snyk notifies if we have an issue, there are a few options: High vulnerability or medium vulnerability. The problem with that is high vulnerabilities are too broad, because there are too many. If you enable notifications, you get a lot of notifications, When you get many notifications, they become irrelevant because they're not specific. I would prefer to have control over the notifications and somehow decide if I want to get only exploitable vulnerabilities or get a specific score for a vulnerability. Right now, we receive too many high vulnerabilities. If we enable notifications, then we just get a lot of spam message. Therefore, we would like some type of filtering system to be built-in for the system to be more precise."
"The tool needs improvement in license compliance. I would like to see the integration of better policy management in the product's future release. When it comes to the organization that I work for, there are a lot of business units since we are a group of companies. Each of these companies has its specific requirements and its own appetite for risk. This should be able to reflect in flexible policies. We need to be able to configure policies that can be adjusted later or overridden by the business unit that is using the product."
