Pros
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful.""We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek.""There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring.""It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams.""It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end.""The mean time to detect has been reduced.""The management console is the most valuable feature.""It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."

"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 most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability.""Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable.""CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems.""It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats.""The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected.""The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Pros →

"The stability of the product is very impressive since it handles 60,000 to 70,000 requests or transactions per second.""The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is its flexibility.""The most valuable feature is that I can establish different services from the firewall.""I tested specific features and evaluated the solution against the Web Application Firewall. I conducted research to test different detection percentages. I did not use it directly for protection but for evaluation purposes.""The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is the reverse proxy.""It has the best documentation features.""It is a stable solution.""The tool's most valuable feature is the OWASP certification.

Cons
"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.""I'd like to see better onboarding documentation.""I used to work on AWS. At times, I would generate a normal bug in my system, and then I would check PingSafe. The alert used to come after about three and a half hours. It used to take that long to generate the alert about the vulnerability in my system. If a hacker attacks a system and PingSafe takes three to four hours to generate an alert, it will not be beneficial for the company. It would be helpful if we get the alert in five to ten minutes.""I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved.""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.""PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives.""With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case.""We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security Cons →

"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal.""The only challenge lies in token verification.""Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options.""The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing.""The UI part needs to be improved.""The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field.""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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Cons →

"They could provide a better user interface.""The solution needs to be improved in the e-commerce portal.""The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings as it can be quite confusing for users, making it an area where improvements are required.""The setup of NGINX App Protect is complex. The full process took one week to complete. Additionally, we had to change the network infrastructure platform which took one month.""Areas for improvement would be if NGINX could scan for vulnerabilities and learn and update the signatures of DoS attacks.""The price of NGINX App Protect could improve.""The configuration needs to be more flexible because it is difficult to do things that are outside of the ordinary.""NGINX App Protect would be improved with integration with Shape and F5 WAF, which would make it easy for users to manage all their web application security with a single solution."

    Overview

    Singularity Cloud Security is SentinelOne’s comprehensive, cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP). It combines the best of agentless insights with AI-powered threat protection, to secure and protect your multi-cloud infrastructure, services, and containers from build time to runtime. SentinelOne’s CNAPP applies an attacker’s mindset to help security practitioners better prioritize their  remediation tasks with evidence-backed Verified Exploit Paths™. The efficient and scalable runtime protection, proven over 5 years and trusted by many of the world’s leading cloud enterprises, harnesses local, autonomous AI engines to detect and thwart runtime threats in real-time. CNAPP data and workload telemetry is recorded to SentinelOne’s unified security lake, for easy access and investigation.

    Singularity Cloud Security includes both agentless and AI-powered cloud security controls, which represent two halves of our strategy to keep public cloud and container environments safe. Radically reduce your cloud attack surface with Singularity Cloud Native Security, formerly PingSafe, with agentless insights and evidence-based prioritization; protect runtime compute and container with Singularity Cloud Workload Security, SentinelOne’s real-time CWPP, with AI-powered machine-speed blocking of threats.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a platform of cloud security solutions aimed at protecting organizations from breaches while simplifying cloud security management. The unified platform combines several cloud security functionalities for comprehensive protection. Built on the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform, it leverages the powerful agent and technology used in CrowdStrike's renowned endpoint protection solutions, extending its capabilities seamlessly to cloud environments.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is designed to be a shield for the cloud infrastructure. One of its key strengths is its ability to monitor cloud workloads for potential breaches and attacks. It doesn't matter if you're running virtual machines, containers, or a combination of both across different cloud providers – Falcon Cloud Security offers visibility and protection. Additionally, it works tirelessly to pinpoint misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in your cloud setup, proactively stopping issues before they become full-blown security incidents. Compliance becomes easier too, as it can check if your deployments meet the requirements of various industry standards and regulations.

    If you heavily utilize containers and Kubernetes, Falcon Cloud Security has you covered. It delves deep into container images and running containers to spot weaknesses and potential threats, helping you secure your containerized applications from the moment they're developed to when they're up and running. Finally, it tackles the often messy world of permissions in the cloud. Falcon Cloud Security analyzes identities and their attached permissions, ensuring that the principle of least privilege is followed and sensitive data isn't exposed due to overly broad access rights.

    In essence, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security aims to simplify the complexities of cloud security by consolidating tools, providing a centralized view of your risks and threats, and delivering advanced protection that blends seamlessly with your development processes.

    Based on the interviews we conducted with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security users, overall, the sentiment is positive. Users praise the solution's efficacy in detecting and preventing threats, its ease of use, scalability, stability, and integration with existing systems. There were also mentions of areas for improvement, such as the pricing, the user interface, and customer support.
