"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers.""It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects.""The management console is the most valuable feature.""I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on.""My favorite feature is Storyline.""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.""The ease of use of the platform is very nice.""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."

Cons
"One area that could be improved is the Azure CLI. It would be beneficial if they could abstract some of the complexities related to deployment scripts and make them a part of Azure CLI.""There is room for improvement in automation processes, as well.""The initial setup is complex.""It would be nice if they could handle the management of personal information more efficiently.""Configuration management and troubleshooting performance issues are difficult to solve and could be made easier.""Sometimes, it fails to provide specific metrics.""This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations.""There are some limitations with the tutor version, particularly in terms of using a lot of free audio. The private level also has restrictions, limiting the number of audio files you can access to just 50. If you want more, you need to contact support."

More Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cons →

"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load.""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.""It took us a while to configure the software to work well in this type of environment, as the support documents were not always clear.""Bugs need to be disclosed quickly.""While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved.""Their search feature could be better.""The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is.""The cost has the potential for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "As you scale your operations, AKS becomes more cost-effective."
  • "We could spend as little as $25 or $30 a month on Kubernetes Services, compared to the typical $100 a month expenditure for a virtual machine."
  • "The cost of the solution is extremely high. Both Amazon and Azure cost extremely high. Given the basic features like when they are coming over the cluster nodes, we think over ten times before giving the solution to clients. No matter how many offerings the solution provides, it becomes so much of a burden that you are not even getting back your invested money from customers."
  • "The control plane is free and we only pay for the usage and time."
  • "It is expensive compared to other vendors."
  • "The product follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model which is good for small enterprises. You need to pay only for the services that you use."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The price of AKS is expensive. We pay approximately $10,000 monthly."

  • "As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
  • "It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
  • "I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
  • "I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."
  • "The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
