Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources

Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

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

"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."

"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."

"The solution is very good at scanning."

"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."

"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."

"The solution has a good management interface."

"It's very versatile and thorough."

"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."

More Malwarebytes pros

"The most valuable features are asset tracking, patching, endpoint tagging, and policy updates."

"The deep visibility and the ability to perform security investigations and assess our endpoint security posture are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory."

"The autonomous platform is valuable because we can separate false positives and negatives."

"The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks."

"The most valuable features include the agent installation and update processes."

"SentinelOne's auto-rollback feature is the most valuable."

"It delivers the type of security which we were hoping for, since we have a lot of different endpoint users utilizing different types of software. We have people who only use Office software, like email, Word, and PDFs. Then, we have people who use some applications that other people wrote. We also write applications in-house using people who develop software. Therefore, we have some machines using very high-end developer software for mechanical development, electronic development, and software development. Those users are used to managing their PC on their own. The centralize platform allows us to differentiate between those three groups of people. We have overall control and can oversee the security levels at all the endpoints. They have not yet been blocked in any way when performing the functions"

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pros

Cons

"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."

"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."

"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."

"This solution reports far too many false positives!"

"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."

"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."

"We experience a lot of false positives."

"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."

More Malwarebytes cons

"We are now using an external monitoring tool to monitor the services of SentinelOne, because apparently they don't have any solution for that. When the SentinelOne agent is down, you can go to the interface and see a mark on SentinelOne that something is not correct or the server needs to be rebooted, but you will not get an alert. You will not be warned that there is an issue with the SentinelOne agent. I have found that a little bit disturbing, because then we need to use a third-party monitoring tool to make sure that all services of SentinelOne are up and running."

"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."

"In the beginning, we had some issues with their product on some of the Windows 32-bit operating systems."

"SentinelOne's customer support is sluggish and frequently fails to deliver sufficient assistance."

"One disadvantage of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that the agent doesn't auto-update, and my company found it more complicated than usual to get the agent updated and keep it updated."

"Some of the reports that are exported through SentinelOne can be complicated for people who are not IT professionals. For example, we have some people within our leadership who would like to know why we are spending so much money on their product, and one of the ways that we are able to do that is through reports. Some of those reports are pretty easy to understand, and some of them are very complicated. Because they are not IT or security professionals, they may not have the same grasp. I wish their reporting feature was a little better."

"Managing the false positives creates additional management overhead. The behavioral analysis engine might misinterpret real user behavior as malware. For example, a drafter was cleaning up a Revit folder and deleting 4,000 files. That looks like ransomware. The SentinelOne agent kicked his computer off the network."

"SentinelOne's phishing feature could be improved."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."

"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."

"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."

"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."

"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."

"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."

"It is expensive."

More Malwarebytes pricing and cost advice

"When we were checking out different platforms, we did get a price from Microsoft, and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money."

"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."

"The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it."

"You have to look at the kinds of problems you can end up with and the fact that you want security against them, and then SentinelOne is not expensive."

"The pricing model is simple."

"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."

"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."

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