A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users

What needs to be improved is what my company sends to Kaspersky's team when we are working with it, and then they work on it, which is why we always have updates to take care of the bugs and all those things. You can't have one thing in the solution that needs to be improved. The solution is affordable. For the solution itself, while you are working with it, you come across stuff, that Kaspersky's network helps you deal with since you can send your stuff to Kaspersky's team, and they have access to certain reports, and based on the reports and what what are we doing, the solution is always worked on, so that it can be made the best and efficient application. On a daily basis, the tool is being improved, and I am okay with it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select is automated. The cloud application for Kaspersky is automated. For the solution needed for individual systems, Kaspersky provides you with a platform that provides internet security. With Kaspersky, you have a platform that allows you to access www.kaspersky.com and see the systems that you have worked on in the past. If you need to do anything with your individual machines indirectly, you can manage it through a centralized system. The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required.

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

"Kaspersky Total Security is a light agent."

"The solution is efficient."

"I find the solution to be very stable in terms of security and protection of the data."

"The most effective feature is its scanning. When they scan the viruses, they come back with the records quite fast. They make sure that they rectify."

"The most beneficial feature of Kaspersky Total Security for me is its all-in-one antivirus solution with continuous signature updates for effective malware detection and prevention."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems."

"There has been a return on investment for our small and medium business users."

"Kaspersky Total Security provides a good return on investment by improving data security and reducing costs by sixty percent with its robust security features."

More Kaspersky Total Security pros

"The visibility and, obviously, the protection aspects are second to none when it comes to speed. Another thing we fall back on is the option to roll back an endpoint if it is infected. There is a shadow copy so that if a PC downloads malicious content, we can roll it back to the state it was in before that package was imported."

"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."

"We moved from ESET, and we find that the licensing scheme, particularly how the licenses are attributed to clients, is pretty nice compared to what ESET offers."

"Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature."

"The terminating or killing remediation process that they use is top-notch. Pretty much anything that is even remotely malicious gets blocked by it within seconds. That is important for us. We have thousands of endpoints with tens of thousands of users. It is hard to do good security for that many people without some kind of automated detection and response. That is what SentinelOne does for us. It helps us automate that process."

"The overall product quality is good."

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the rapid threat detection."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pros

Cons

"The stability could be improved."

"The solution’s stability could be improved"

"Regarding improvement, Kaspersky has a slightly larger system footprint, leading to a 5-10% performance slowdown compared to when I wasn't using Kaspersky."

"It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."

"The tool could be cheaper."

"The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."

"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."

"Kaspersky has to improve its response when there is an incident. They need to respond faster."

More Kaspersky Total Security cons

"The management console."

"The only concern we have is that there are a few features that were not readily available."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to see better alerting to let us know if there is anything wrong with SentinelOne working on the endpoint of the computer."

"We are not utilizing all the features available with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, including the built-in XDR and Ranger, due to the substantial associated costs."

"The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console."

"It would help if they could get all the relevant threat information, the related events, in one place. Currently, we need to go to a number of places and do research. If they could have it all in one place, that would help investigations."

"The role-based access is in dire need of improvement. We actually discussed this on a roadmap call and were informed that it was coming, but then it was delayed. It limits the roles that you can have in the platform, and we require several custom roles. We work with a lot of third-parties whom we rely on for some of our IT services. Part of those are an external SOC function where they are over-provisioned in the solution because there isn't anything relevant for the level of work that they do."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I like this solution due to its cost-free nature"

"There is a need to renew the license on an annual basis."

"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution."

"We purchase the product’s yearly license."

"We have a yearly license, and it's not expensive."

"We pay around $30 to $35 for the solution yearly."

"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."

"Kaspersky Total Security is a cheap solution."

More Kaspersky Total Security pricing and cost advice

"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."

"SentinelOne makes licensing easy by reducing the number of modules or packages that they have to offer. A lot of other vendors make licensing very complicated with separate modules or separate costs. By bundling necessary features, SentinelOne ensures that security leaders are not left confused by options. This bundling of necessities has served our needs well."

"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."

"The pricing of SentinelOne is less than McAfee."

"The pricing appears to be pretty affordable."

"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."

"The pricing was very similar in terms of its competitors, but I believe SentinelOne's capability and willingness to attract new business allowed us to save some extra money."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete's price point is excessive compared to the functionality it provides."
