Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.
Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response
Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Monitoring is most valuable."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"I really like deep visibility. Deep visibility is one of the coolest features of almost any tool that we use. The breadth of data that is collected there is valuable, and it gives us the ability to search back through literally tons of data going back a specific period of time."
"It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting."
"The console is light years better than the CrowdStrike console, which had just a bunch of different screens cobbled together. It is much more unified and much easier to work with. It is very nicely designed."
"The most valuable aspect, in any scenario, was the rollback feature."
"Having the capability to gain insights across our network, observe all our machines, and have a centralized view of what's protected and where things are is incredibly advantageous."
"The alerting features are the most valuable. We know that when something goes wrong, we get alerted instantly. That gives us a leg up. Even before the user knows what's happening, we're being alerted to step in and stop anything catastrophic from happening."
"The external drive scanning is great."
"The web portal has a really good web UI, and all the things are well integrated."
 

Cons

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"If there is a vulnerability that we know about, I search for that vulnerability—for example, Adobe. There are different versions of Adobe, but I'm not able to compile them into one report. I have to create separate reports for those versions."
"The delay in updating inventory is ten minutes. If it can be improved, it will help a lot."
"The way Singularity Complete handles blocking external mass storage is annoying because it is so difficult to unblock single endpoints."
"I would like to see the reports from SentinelOne more customizable, as there are very few options."
"There is room for improvement with the management interface. It could be more user friendly."
"Having an additional logic layer could improve the solution, mainly because I run multiple systems with different layers. For example, if I'm running a very important server with this agent, and that server gets infected, I may not necessarily be sure that I want to shut it down right away. Maybe I want to isolate some of the connectivity but not do the entire security remediation automatedly or curtail network access type of activity."
"As a cloud-based product, there is a minimum number of licenses that need to be purchased, which is unfortunate."
"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"There are cheaper options out there that I know are not as effective. I have administered several of them, not for this organization but for others. The thing I like about SentinelOne is that I know that if it raises an alert, it is worth looking at, so we are not dealing with a lot of false positives. It is rare."
"After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair."
"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."
"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."
"The pricing is very fair for the solution they provide."
"It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most."
"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."
"The one I use is $6 a month per device. Some are $4 and there are some that are more than that."
