Good user management and command control features
There is always room for improvement. One thing that would be helpful is if it was easier to define which commands can be used. Currently, we use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management. It can be a bit more difficult if we're not using our own script. We have a script that checks the day from the AD group to see if any users have certain privileges, and we execute it to make any necessary changes. We've automated the process by creating our own script. We run it four times a day. In the future release, I would like to see it easier to configure without adding all the scripts. It would be helpful if it had a user-friendly manual that allows you to change things easily. It would make BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management a lot easier to use.

The real-time protection is very beneficial and protects identities from exploitation
We raised a support case with the solution's technical support team. We called the support team and tried to get help to run a report to see which devices were actually utilizing SentinelOne. We also had another report question about how we could take a look at AD accounts with expired passwords. The support agent on the other line didn't seem very familiar with the product, and that was pretty much it. When they told us they would get back to us with more information, it took a while. They got back to us three weeks later when we had already figured it out on our own.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is good."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The privileged access management into sensitive systems is very valuable. That includes control from the endpoint all the way through to the managing of passwords and credentials that are used by the person to access the sensitive information. It's very useful, because nobody ever really maintains passwords for those endpoint systems. It's maintained in the Dropbox password file."
"I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"What I liked about this solution is that it can also integrate for tracking malicious use or sending analytics to a host that can process them. I don't know if CyberArk, Centrify, or Thycotic can do that. The analytics was something the client really wanted, and they already had BeyondTrust. It is very scalable. The agent on the workstation is very thin, and the processing power required on a server is nothing out of the ordinary. It is also very stable and easy to deploy."
"The tool is easy to use and deploy. It has PAM capabilities like privilege access. The solution helps with the management of third parties and vendors. It is an effective solution compared to other alternatives."
"Logs that get collected on the Privilege Management console from the agents are very good. They help us to identify the aspects from which we have to whitelist an application."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"While I've experience with many CSPM solutions, SentinelOne Singularity Identity stands out."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
 

Cons

"If you don't get the implementation right at the outset, you will struggle with the product."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"The other area to improve is that they rely on MS SQL servers only. You cannot have any other database behind them. They have to be on MS SQL. If they can do something about these issues, this would be a better alternative for some customers."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"We faced some challenges with remote desktop sessions."
"What's bothering me, which is true of all of them, is that sometimes, the error codes that come up don't necessarily get reflected in the searches within their support sites or they're out of date. I would rather search by an error code than type in the text and search for it by text because the error code means that it is programmatic, and it is known. It might not be desired, but it at least is not unexpected. If you don't have an error code, you just get an anomalous error, and if it is lengthy, it can be difficult to search and find the specific instance you're looking for. This is something I would like all of them to improve. BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Centrify, and Thycotic could do some improvements in staying up to date and actually allowing you to search based on the product version. They are assuming that everybody is on their way to release. They put out a new release, but it is not reflected on the support site, which makes no sense to me, especially when they revamp all the error codes. They all have been guilty of this in some way."
"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."
"How the accounts are presented in the solution's UI can be improved."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing and licensing are okay. We were in the perpetual model when it was on-prem, and now, with the SaaS service, we have a subscription model. As a customer, I would always like to see a lower price, but it seems to be priced at the right model currently, and we are trying to get the maximum benefits out of it."
"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"It was very expensive."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"The price is affordable."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
