Umair Siddiqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration of endpoints enables comprehensive threat detection and isolation
Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall. I can see the Cisco XDR feature in the Firewall with Threat Intelligence. The integration with XDR and Cisco Meraki solutions allows detection of zero-day attacks. XDR connects with Cisco's cloud for updates on zero-day attacks. There is good integration with Splunk, which Cisco acquired, providing comprehensive log management and analysis.
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
It integrates well with other platforms, is user-friendly, and is stable
SentinelOne Singularity Complete integrates with our other security solutions, correlating data from NDR, ADR, SIEM, and XDR tools. All this information is consolidated within SentinelOne, providing a centralized access point. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us streamline our security operations by consolidating multiple solutions into a single platform. We are currently in the process of acquiring a threat intelligence platform to complete our security stack. We use Ranger to monitor our network and track connected devices. This is crucial because it helps us quickly identify unauthorized machines connected to our infrastructure, including personal devices. We have additional security measures in place, but Ranger provides an extra layer of protection. It also alerts us if the SentinelOne Singularity Complete agent is missing from any new or existing machines, allowing us to take appropriate action. SentinelOne Ranger's agentless and hardware-independent nature is crucial for our environment with 26,000 endpoints, as manual management of such a large number would be extremely challenging. Ranger uses a multi-layered approach to prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We employ scanners, network configurations, and a risk scanner to assess devices, endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructures. Vulnerability reports and timelines for remediation are shared with device owners or custodians. This proactive strategy enables us to address vulnerabilities efficiently and secure our infrastructure. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has significantly enhanced our security posture. While no system is impenetrable, this solution has brought us closer to achieving a high level of protection, ensuring we maintain at least a 90 percent security level. Our team is dedicated to refining alerts and eliminating false positives from our solutions. Additionally, a team is responsible for identifying and excluding alerts from the solution. We can manually expedite this process by reviewing these elements and utilizing our security tools. We have been able to reduce the alert volume by 20 percent. Our 30-member Security Operations Center team has been able to redirect their focus to other tasks due to the time saved after implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us improve our mean time to detect threats, which we accomplish using the Vigilance service for detection and response. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us decrease our organizational risk. We utilize the Security Scorecard to manage our security posture, which has remained steady at 90 percent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall."
"Cisco XDR offers threat intelligence and links with the Firewall."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory."
"It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk."
"The best part of the agent is that users can't remove or disable it, so endpoints will be safe. I can control it from the portal. I can see when it's updated and I can push updates from the portal. The greatness of SentinelOne is that our end-users don't see anything to do with the agents. Some of them don't even know it's on their laptops. And that's a good thing."
"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."
"SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"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."
 

Cons

"They need to provide better pricing and bundle XDR licenses with products like Meraki solutions or Firepower Threat Defense."
"They need to provide better pricing and bundle XDR licenses with products like Meraki solutions or Firepower Threat Defense."
"The solution needs better reporting on new threats and malware. The reporting is present, but I can't find the information easily."
"The learning curve was a little steep."
"SentinelOne is making a lot of moves to acquire various companies, but the roadmap isn't clear, and it is still uncertain how the new acquisitions will integrate. For example, SentinelOne recently acquired a mobile security solution, but there is no real integration between the platforms."
"The SentinelOne portal is not user-friendly, which is one of its drawbacks."
"They are still largely an EDR product."
"There is not much focus on the on-premise solution as the license cap is so huge for small and medium-sized institutions."
"SentinelOne's customer support is sluggish and frequently fails to deliver sufficient assistance."
"My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair."
"It is expensive. There is no doubt about it. If one of the functions does not work, it becomes very difficult for any CIO to justify the cost."
"USD$6 per end point which decreases as end points increase."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"The cost of utilizing all the features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high."
"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."
"When it came to the price compared to other solutions we tested, SentinelOne Singularity gave us the price of our expectations whereas CrowdStrike could not."
"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."
