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

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"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."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The ROI is immense, particularly in less dedicated labor hours, and much more in terms of security, particularly when new security flaws have recently appeared."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"As a reseller and user, I would say that SentinelOne Singularity Complete is better than its competition; I have evaluated Palo Alto, Trellix, and CrowdStrike as well, and SentinelOne EDR is much better than all of them as the capability and technical capabilities are superior with efficient and faster detection."
"The overall product quality is good."
"I appreciate that it is easy to review incidents that have been detected by the behavioral AI or the SentinelOne Cloud."
"It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have."
"When there is an incident, the solution's Storyline feature gives you a timeline, the whole story, what it began with, what it opened, et cetera. You have the whole picture in one minute. You don't need someone to analyze the system, to go into the logs. You get the entire picture in the dashboard. The Storyline feature has made our response time very fast because we don't need to rely on outside help."
"It is easy to collect and retain logs with SentinelOne."
"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."
"The solution's in-place upgrades have been very helpful."
 

Cons

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"The GUI could be improved."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"It just doesn't make you feel like you're getting covered or have the best protection, which you should have."
"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."
"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."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers competitive pricing, but there's always potential for even better value."
"Some features could be more user-friendly; for instance, setting restrictions in the explorer for what level one must be to use it is not user-friendly and it is difficult to find what we're searching for."
"Set up is very labor-intensive."
"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 can just continue adding more integrations with these big brands and software security products."
"One area for improvement is automated deployment. I use it through a group policy. I put in the PC name, and when the user logs in, if the PC is in that group, it attempts an MSI install through Active Directory via GPO. That seems to play a little havoc and can conflict with manual installs, causing issues where it wants to delete and reinstall the client."
"The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."
"The management console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"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."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The price was fine."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"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.​"
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."
"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."
"The license is per user."
"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting."
"Their pricing was extremely competitive. That is why we stayed with them so long. We are renewing at the end of next month. We have already put in the approval. It is all set to go. We are renewing for another year or so year over year. It has been a very effective product, and it has been priced very competitively."
"It is not sold as a consumer product. It is only sold based on the number of licenses. So, as an MSP, you're probably going to pay about three and a half dollars per license, per month to have SentinelOne."
"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."
