"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"The user-friendly dashboard offers both convenience and security by providing quick access to solutions and keeping us informed of potential threats."
"PingSafe released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. PingSafe's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"The management console is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It's quite a good product. It helps to understand the infections and issues you are facing."
"The most valuable feature is that it's intuitive. It's very intuitive."
"DSPM is the most valuable feature."
"When you have commissioned Defender, you have these things visible already on your dashboard. This gives the efficiency to the people to do their actual work rather than bothering about the email, sorting out the email, or looking at it through an ITSM solution, whey they have to look at the description and use cases. Efficiency increases with this optimized, ready-made solution since you don't need to invest in something externally. You can start using the dashboard and auditing capability provided from day one. Thus, you have fewer costs with a more optimized, easier-to-use solution, providing operational efficiency for your team."
"It helps you to identify the gaps in your solution and remediate them. It produces a compliance checklist against known standards such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, iTrust, etc."
"It is very intuitive when it comes to policy administration, alerts and notifications, and ease of setting up roles at different hierarchies. It has also been good in terms of the network technology maps. It provides a good overview, but it also depends on the complexity of your network."
"The dashboard is very good. It gives our clients a lot of information and allows them to have a complete overview of the system. Everything is visible in one glance."
"The technical support is very good."
"Trend Vision One goes beyond standard endpoint security by offering a dedicated IPS mechanism with a unique, separate database for servers, along with a large feature set specifically designed for server environments."
"The most valuable features are intrusion prevention and anti-malware capabilities."
"The most valuable part of Trend Vision One - Cloud Security is its dashboard, as it's simple. It's easy to manage, and you can better control the solution."
"I really like Trend Vision One - Cloud Security's dashboard."
"The tech support is excellent. They really know their products. They also know a lot of about the integrations between different solutions."
"The stability is quite good."
"I like the conformity and workload security modules. Workload security is all about intrusion detection and prevention. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has behavioral rules that are auto-populated based on organizational structure. That's one aspect that we liked most."
"Virtual patching is one of the key features, which is executed with their IPS."
"In addition to the console alerts, I would like PingSafe to also send email notifications."
"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"here is a bit of a learning curve. However, you only need two to three days to identify options and get accustomed."
"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"We are experiencing problems with Cloud Native Security reporting."
"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."
"Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"After getting a recommendation, it takes time for the solution to refresh properly to show that the problem has been eliminated."
"I would like to have the ability to customize executive reporting."
"From my own perspective, they just need a product that is tailored to micro-segmentation so I can configure rules for multiple systems at once and manage it."
"Another thing that could be improved was that they could recommend processes on how to react to alerts, or recommend best practices based on how other organizations do things if they receive an alert about XYZ."
"The solution is quite complex. A lot of the different policies that actually get applied don't pertain to every client. If you need to have something open for a client application to work, then you get dinged for having a port open or having an older version of TLS available."
"The documentation and implementation guides could be improved."
"I would suggest building a single product that addresses endpoint server protection, attack surface, and everything else in one solution. That is the main disadvantage with the product. If we are incorporating some features, we end up in a situation where this solution is for the server, and that one is for the client, or this is for identity, and that is for our application. They're not bundling it. Commercially, we can charge for different licenses, but on the implementation side, it's tough to help our end-customer understand which product they're getting."
"The product was a bit complex to set up earlier, however, it is a bit streamlined now."
"The firewall configuration should have been automated based on the understanding of the application, utilities, and protocols."
"There are also some loopholes because it's a new product that they have recently migrated to the cloud. We do see some issues with the policies we have assigned when it comes to a particular account. There are some issues with system support, such as a particular server kernel version that is not supported."
"The initial setup can be complex for the inexperienced."
"The licensing model could be improved. To gain full coverage, you need to spend more to buy subscriptions for each kind of service they offer. It will start to be pricey if you want full coverage."
"The local agent should be able to show more logs. At present, the logs are only available from the web console and not from the local agent."
"While it provides some data protection within its security framework, it doesn't allow users to customize policies or create their own for specific needs."
"Securing S3 using Trend Vision One - Cloud Security can cost too much. Trend Vision One - Cloud Security has a tool that requires lots of privileges. From my understanding, it's only for static application testing, so they need to add dynamic application testing, and there should be more collaboration with the application testing tools on the market. We have not used this product, and I don't know if they plan to decommission it or something. They should focus on application security because this tool's unique feature is multi-cloud support. However, they should improve integration with tools for these kinds of use cases, especially application security and dynamic scanning. For example, I would like it to support Dell SecureOps. I'd also like to see some enhancements to API gateway security."
"The workbook insights generate a massive list, making it inconvenient to review."
