Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to manage and install. It has a very nice graphical interface that is very intuitive when end users are using it. You don't have to follow or read a book about 600 pages to have knowledge on how to use it. When SentinelOne is up and running, you can easily find your way."
"The anti-ransomware capability to analyze the threats and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"I have been a Mac guy for twenty years, and the feature parity and the capabilities of a Macintosh agent are unparalleled in the industry. It is the first anti-malware and antivirus that does not make you feel that you bought the wrong processor. It is really good and lightweight."
"All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable aspect of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the protection it provides."
"Their platform is really easy to work with."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has positively impacted my company by being hassle-free, providing good ROI, giving the best security with its rollback feature, offering extensive integration with other solutions, and using such a lightweight agent that it does not cause any system slowness."
 

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"Sometimes, SentinelOne Singularity Complete takes time to reflect on some machines, which could be due to poor network connectivity."
"Improvements for SentinelOne's Singularity Complete could include adjusting pricing for specific markets, ensuring affordability, and better alignment with customer expectations in those regions."
"Sometimes, support can be lacking. We would like to have more interactive sessions, which are not currently available."
"The solution does not have an application security and control module."
"It would help if they could get all the relevant threat information, the related events, in one place. Currently, we need to go to a number of places and do research. If they could have it all in one place, that would help investigations."
"The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges."
"The main area for improvement relates to Linux compatibility. When deploying on a Linux system, the process isn't as seamless compared to other operating systems."
"The stability is just okay."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting."
"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."
"Overall, it was a good experience. It is pretty easy for us to increase the number."
"The price of Singularity Complete compared to some of its competitors is competitive."
"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
"From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product."
"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."
"The price of SentinelOne is on the higher side compared to other solutions, such as Symantec."
