Kiarash Heydari - PeerSpot reviewer
Light and powerful solution design; useful to have
My impression is that the initial setup process is quite straightforward. If you know what you're using it for, the initial setup can be quite easy and the solution is not that hard to use. When it comes to the steps taken for the implementation, you would select the OS you're using and when the files are sent to the appliance you check, and in the appliance configuration, it must be like the visual governance environment. You must set up the OS you have so that appliance can scan or analyze your file. To maintain this solution, you must always have at least one all-around person tuning this solution.

Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an easily scalable solution."
"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company."
"Compared to other solutions, it's easy to configure and implement because of the templates. The timing of scanning files is faster."
"The main benefit of Fortinet FortiSandbox is that it allows organizations to detect and prevent unknown threats from entering an infrastructure."
"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."
"FortiSandbox helps us handle unknown threats. Every vendor is competing for who can detect an unknown threat the fastest. Fortinet is competitive in the market."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
 

Cons

"There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment."
"In general, maybe they are not updated to cover risks."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
"The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."
"Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor."
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"The solution is not expensive at all."
"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
"The solution is affordable."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."
"The price is competitive."
"There is a license to use this solution."
"I rate the product's pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"The price is affordable."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
