Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues

Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Technology Lead at Infosys

Offers automation in deployment, stable and good solution

There are a couple of things. Firstly, the vaultStore database within Container isn't as efficient as a standalone Container vault. This needs improvement. Ideally, Mirantis Container Cloud should seamlessly integrate with traditional software. Right now, incorporating such software into containers feels clunky and disadvantageous. We should be able to easily deploy database instances and split traditional software into containerized components for optimal utilization. These advancements would significantly enhance Mirantis Container Cloud's capabilities.

Signature-based detection, DOS protection, and bot protection

NGINX App Protect is easier to automate and configure, or manage from an API. This is good for securing applications. However, it's not suitable for more complex tasks. NGINX App Protect positively impacted performance changes. There's a cache or it works like a proxy, so it can speed up applications. It can also offload some functions from servers, which NGINX can handle faster.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."

"The most valuable features of PingSafe are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."

"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."

"The ease of use of the platform is very nice."

"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."

"We mostly use alerts. That has been pretty good. If we use the alert system from Amazon, it is much costlier to us, so we use PingSafe."

"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 gives me the information I need."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The solution containerizes software."

"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud."

"This solution has cut down on our development time and allows us to spin off new instances for inner development, testing, productions, and security testing."

"The solution has enhanced the security and compliance management of container environments which reduces operational overhead and costs."

"Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user."

"I think the volume binding is a really interesting feature."

"Main products are portable."

"The most valuable aspect is the excellent support. In addition, the billing system is really easy to understand."

More Mirantis Container Cloud pros

"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."

"There's a cache, or it works like a proxy, so it can speed up applications."

"The initial setup was simple and took three to four days."

"NGINX App Protect's best features are auto-learning, which creates a profile of applications that are deployed, bot protection, and force protection, which lets you configure your brute force policy and alert for and prevent brute force attacks."

"The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is the reverse proxy."

"It is a very good tool for load balancing."

More NGINX App Protect pros

Cons

"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."

"One of our use cases was setting up a firewall for our endpoints, specifically for our remote users... We were hoping to utilize SentinelOne's firewall capabilities, but there were limitations on how many URLs we could implement. Because of those limitations on the number of URLs, we weren't able to utilize that feature in the way we had hoped to."

"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."

"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."

"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."

"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."

"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."

"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Some improvements are needed, particularly related to internal network management compared to Kubernetes."

"This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud."

"The solution would benefit in improvements made to the storage, cleaning up information from the disk, and reading logs."

"This solution is open-source and they need to focus on improving the Linux Operating Systems' GUI. It does not have a GUI making it not user-friendly. Additionally, the containers need to improve security and compliance."

"You need to have system knowledge to deploy the product. It should be improved."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

"More integrations with other platforms would be beneficial."

"Integration with Windows is something that can be improved."

More Mirantis Container Cloud cons

"Setting policies and parameters through the UI should be more automated because the process is manual, where we can only edit one rule at a time."

"The integration of NGINX App Protect could improve."

"NGINX App Protect could improve security."

"It doesn't have more advanced features like no false-positive security, which you can configure in Advanced WAF."

"I encountered issues with NGINX App Protect while trying to upgrade custom rules."

"Right now, the tool doesn't provide an option revolving around update feeds, specifically the signature update option in the UI."

"The solution needs to be improved in the e-commerce portal."

"They could provide a better user interface."

More NGINX App Protect cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cost-effective."

"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"

"The tool is cost-effective."

"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."

"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."

"Mirantis Container Cloud is free. However, there are features for which you need to pay."

"Docker is a free solution."

"The solution is open-source and free to try."

"We use the free version of this solution."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"With open source, you can use Mirantis completely free."

"The product is not expensive."

More Mirantis Container Cloud pricing and cost advice

"NGINX App Protect is expensive."
