A product with an easy setup phase that helps manage attacks and vulnerabilities

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that you can manage and react to vulnerabilities and attacks on all the workstations or laptops. You can put certain workstations and isolation. With ESET PROTECT, you see only one machine that is protected, but with ESET Inspect, you see all the machines that are protected in an environment.

Easy to manage, zero-trust option and supports both Linux and macOS

SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS. All SentinelOne features were equally supported across Windows, Linux, and Mac, whereas CrowdStrike was more heavy on the Windows side. They did not support all features on Linux. The Singularity console provides a unified view. But we already had similar dashboards available to the ones we had engineered ourselves. So it's not a deal-breaker. For us, it was about supporting multiple operating systems. That was more important. So, these dashboards we have are third-party tools integrated with SentinelOne.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."

"The product's most valuable features are its performance and stability."

"ESET Enterprise Inspector's greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy navigation and thorough analysis of incidents."

"ESET Enterprise Inspector's most valuable feature is EDR."

"I find the multilayered endpoint security the most valuable feature."

"The rules are the best and most useful features."

"Rules are the most valuable feature of ESET Inspect. They are created through XML language, and they track and filter events from endpoints. If the event matches the rule, the rule is triggered. Exceptions are the second most valuable feature because it gives you the power to filter false positives in large numbers. The third most valuable feature is the Learning mode that facilitates making exceptions for known processes with a good reputation."

"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne is the EDR functionality. We are protected against threats, such as ransomware."

"The Deep Visibility feature is the most useful part of the EDR platform. It gives us good insights into what is actually happening on the endpoints, e.g., when we have malicious or suspicious activity. We came from a legacy type AV previously, so we didn't have that level of visibility or understanding. For simplifying threat-hunting, it is extremely useful, where traditional techniques in threat hunting are quite laborious. We can put in indicators of compromise and it will sweep the environment for them, then they would give us a breakdown of what assets have been seen and where they have been seen, which is more of a forensics overview."

"Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts."

"The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities."

"SentinelOne's data integration has made the incident response process more efficient and faster."

"The most valuble feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the recovery and zero-day detection."

"We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer."

"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne is the good graph it provides. It has a specific page where it detects the recent attacks on other machines or the hackers, for example, group APT28 and all."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pros

Cons

"The product is complex to configure, and there are too many errors that are not errors, making it an area that can be considered for improvement."

"One area that needs improvement for the product is ransomware protection, which does not offer complete security."

"It may be difficult for a first-time customer to understand all of the functions that are available to him."

"The platform's price could be better."

"Every vendor is working on making the job of SOC analysts easier, with fewer false positives and more precise detections. ESET uses LiveGrid technology that provides feedback on the reputation of files and operations. It's hard to eliminate all of the false positives, but hopefully, we'll see some improvement with the advances in AI."

"The solution could improve the consumption of resources. The RAM and CPU usage increases during usage which can cause issues. We have three separate services and it would be beneficial if all were executed from one agent limiting the over usage of system resources."

"It is not a stable product. We were disappointed in the stability of this product in comparison to McAffee."

"Singularity Complete needs to improve its ability to granularly select and extract the executable files that I want to run."

"The application management needs improvements, but I understand that they are working on it. We talked to them a few months ago, and it is something they are trying to get up to speed and fix. This way, we will be able to disable critical apps or vulnerable apps through SentinelOne. We will be able to patch applications or disable applications through the Application Management tab."

"I would suggest improving the RBAC for user access. It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level. Additionally, the exclusions seem overly broad or very specific, making it hard to tune the SentinelOne agent. The solution is noisy out of the box, so you must tune it to weed out the noise and find what's useful. It's a complex process."

"They could add “right click>scan” where most users were trained to do so in handling flash drives."

"SentinelOne is making a lot of moves to acquire various companies, but the roadmap isn't clear, and it is still uncertain how the new acquisitions will integrate. For example, SentinelOne recently acquired a mobile security solution, but there is no real integration between the platforms."

"SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics."

"All they need to do to improve it is for it to grow further. The hackers don't sleep. If the hackers don't sleep, the solution continually needs to be updated. They need to keep ahead of the hackers."

"Native integration with the mobile console is an area that can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are the big issue now, in my opinion. If the price was less than other companies, or a one-time charge for service was available, I think there would be more users of this solution."

"I feel it is a very expensive product."

"The platform is expensive; it could be cheaper."

"The platform's licensing is affordable and straightforward."

"This is true in the case of licensing, we do not have the most expensive products, and we don't have the cheapest product, it's somewhere in the middle. Perhaps a little higher from the middle, but we are known for what we provide to our customers, and they are pleased."

"The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year."

"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."

"The price is fair for what we are getting."

"Its cost is yearly. It is not much costlier than other leading products available in the market. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"Pricing seemed reasonable at first. However, the way SentinelOne handles its licensing did not work for our environments and led to secondary discussions around cost. They counted many of the instances and licenses as duplicates despite them only being alive once, which was frustrating."

"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."

"I do not know much about the pricing. What I do know is that the person who negotiates most of the pricing is quite a hard bargainer. In that regard, he often says that he managed to get a very good deal. When we first looked at replacing our old system with Singularity Complete, its price was definitely a big factor. Back then, Singularity Complete was fairly new to the marketplace. We got quite a good deal as an early adopter. They have honored that and respected that we were an early adopter, and I feel we are still getting a very good price."

"When we were checking out different platforms, we did get a price from Microsoft, and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money."
