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.

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

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"My advice to someone considering this solution is that it's a popular product and you should really go for it."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"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."
"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."
"The solution does a good job of blocking whatever it thinks needs to be blocked and it doesn't require a lot of performance from the computer."
"With Cylance AI and Machine Learning, it's ensuring that all types of malware, PUP (Potential Unwanted Programs) and Memory Protection your endpoint devices are fully protected, even with day zero threats."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The overview is valuable. There are a lot of instances out there, but Singularity Complete cuts the noise down by giving us graphics and color-coding information instead of massive tech dumps. It helps us concentrate on what is actually needed versus just the noise."
"If you have the budget, this is a top-notch solution."
"The Ranger feature is valuable."
"SentinelOne is preferred because of its great features and nominal cost."
"The best feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that you don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box."
"The portal is the most valuable feature because it provides us with a single pane of glass view and is highly intuitive."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has positively impacted my organization by helping with trust amongst the organization, and with USB exclusions and other features, it has helped with data loss prevention and allowed me to measure DLP attacks."
"I find the application inventory feature to be extremely useful."
 

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"It is not stable. The solution has caused six crashes over two years, with one of them requiring us to rebuild all of our Windows 10 devices."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"CylancePROTECT's technical support is non-existent."
"I would not rate this solution in the top five for things like presenting information, or ease of use."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The user interface could be improved, it's very outdated."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible."
"They are still largely an EDR product."
"Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed."
"I think communication and documentation could be improved in the solution."
"The basic functionalities should be up and running even during maintenance windows. I understand that it is a software-as-a-service model, but it becomes a problem if I cannot do anything when issues occur during maintenance."
"The previous vendor had a lot more features and capabilities under the license. For example, I lost DLP as Sentinel One does not have DLP."
"The solution is expensive. It is costlier than Trend Micro and Palo Alto XDR."
"We have had cases where Singularity Complete has caused applications to malfunction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"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."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The solution is a bit cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro and more expensive than smaller solutions. Still, it has a pretty reasonable price point, as I appreciate the flexibility SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers."
"For our use case, the solution is affordable. There are not any hidden fees."
"My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
"USD$6 per end point which decreases as end points increase."
"Its cost is similar to Trend Micro, but the protection is much better."
"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete's price point is excessive compared to the functionality it provides."
