Cees Van Den Haak - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Daniel Giacomelli - PeerSpot reviewer
Strengthens cross-platform threat response while supporting audit compliance and log integration
The analytics and reporting can be a bit overwhelming. I love the dashboards, but I find that I need to better understand PowerQuery—specifically when to turn it on and off and its limitations. It's similar to SharePoint in that regard. As a former SharePoint instructor, I know it like the back of my hand. The best thing about SharePoint is that it can do whatever you want; the worst part is also that it can do whatever you want. You really need to know what you want before diving in. Most people usually have a good idea of what they need. SharePoint offers a lot out of the box, but you can customize it further if you wish. However, customization often requires hiring someone, which can be risky since you never know if it will work as intended. On the other hand, PowerQuery can help bridge some of those gaps within Singularity. The challenge arises when you want to incorporate what you've done into dashboards and charts, as there are limitations. For instance, I want more clickable drill-down options that allow me to filter on specific sections of the data, but that's currently not possible. It’s not to say that improvements won’t come in the future; it's just that it feels a bit early at this stage. Additionally, I find some navigation features frustrating, like the back button in certain contexts. For example, if you open PowerQuery from a chart, it doesn't open in a new window or tab. Clicking the back button takes you all the way back to the previous state, causing you to lose whatever progress you made. However, I'm actively providing this feedback to my partner, Pro Circular, through whom we access SentinelOne. They take our input seriously, and I've been sharing my observations. They have their own views but are addressing the issues I raise. It's good to see that suggestions occasionally lead to updates and improvements.

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."
"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."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy navigation and thorough analysis of incidents."
"The rules are the best and most useful features."
"I find the multilayered endpoint security the most valuable feature."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's most valuable feature is EDR."
"The best thing is it has a secure shell command that you can use to get into any endpoint and do some jobs."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the STAR Rules."
"We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."
"The strength of SentinelOne is that it has an automated, active EDR. It does that first level of what a SOC analyst would do, automatically, using artificial intelligence, so we can focus on other things. Active EDR not only notifies you, but it actually fixes that first level. That is unheard of. Very few, if any, companies do that."
"The ability to get queries by pressing the "tab" button is a plus for SentinelOne."
"Previously, we had some processes related to incident response which required more steps. We needed to upload to VirusTotal, Sandbox, et cetera. Now, this process is shortened because all of the information we need is already in SentinelOne. We can briefly analyze and even respond from one management console. If someone has SOC, using the API, they can control everything. It's very cool. I think this is the future."
"The most valuable features are the quick action and restoration capabilities."
"The protection and management provided by SentinelOne is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not a stable product. We were disappointed in the stability of this product in comparison to McAffee."
"It may be difficult for a first-time customer to understand all of the functions that are available to him."
"One area that needs improvement for the product is ransomware protection, which does not offer complete security."
"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."
"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."
"The platform's price could be better."
"The UI appears to be flat, and I wish to have the ability to customize it with features and buttons that are tailored to our needs."
"I would like to have the same features such as ransomware that are available on the cloud version of SentinelOne also made available for the on-prem version because a lot of people in our region are not ready for cloud solutions."
"In automation, if we could schedule when we run the task and on which systems we want to run the task, it would improve automation."
"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."
"I'd like to see more documentation."
"The delay in updating inventory is ten minutes. If it can be improved, it will help a lot."
"SentinelOne needs to improve its endpoint deployment process."
"The solution does not have an application security and control module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's licensing is affordable and straightforward."
"I feel it is a very expensive product."
"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 platform is expensive; it could be cheaper."
"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."
"The pricing level for this service and application was very interesting for us. I don't know exactly what the price was, but apparently it was a big surprise that the SOC was also included in our pricing model."
"The cost of utilizing all the features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high."
"The pricing is very fair for the solution they provide."
"I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
"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."
"I don't know about the licensing model. It seems easy, but it's not my area of expertise. I don't have information on how it compares to its competitors, but the pricing is per device."
"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
