ROI

Sentiment score
8.0

Sentiment score
7.5
SentinelOne Singularity Complete cuts costs by boosting productivity, preventing threats, and reducing ransomware risks, offering quick ROI.

We have not faced any attacks since we implemented it.
It has absolutely helped reduce our organizational risk.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.3
NetWitness NDR's customer service is generally efficient and highly regarded, though some users report occasional slow response times.
Sentiment score
7.2
SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers quick, knowledgeable support with remote sessions, though some desire faster, interactive phone or chat options.
They do a great job of figuring out the problem and pointing you to generic documentation or working with you to fine-tune a solution.
We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.
A chat service would be beneficial.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
NetWitness NDR is scalable for large enterprises, though some users report issues with scalability and agent migration.
Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Complete scales efficiently, smoothly handling deployments, adding agents, and supporting growth across diverse IT infrastructures.
It's all auto-scale and auto-categorized, configuring automatically.
The tool's built-in automation for deploying the agents works well for large infrastructures like mine.
My deployment is relatively small, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete works within those constraints.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
NetWitness NDR is generally reliable, providing real-time data and stability, though minor technical issues are occasionally reported.
Sentiment score
7.9
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for stability, performance, and proactive updates, despite occasional third-party software conflicts.
It has caused problems with interoperability between third-party tools, which could lead to entire servers crashing or specific tools failing.
This indicates room for improvement in stability when interacting with other solutions.
Initially, there were issues, particularly on the management side, but now the console is much more stable.
 

Room For Improvement

NetWitness NDR requires improvements in UI, scalability, detectability, integration, session times, pricing, training, and features, making it complex and slow.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs improvements in updates, false positives, integration, pricing, customization, access control, and threat detection.
The only thing that prevented the attack from succeeding was a free version of Malwarebytes.
Providing a single pane of visibility for the end user would be beneficial.
It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides cost-effective endpoint security, with competitive pricing justified by its comprehensive and flexible features.
If you want protection, you have to pay the price.
There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution.
Reputation and quality are important, but especially in today’s economy, price is a significant factor.
 

Valuable Features

NetWitness NDR offers high detection rates, real-time malware response, third-party integration, and a user-friendly, interoperable interface with advanced analytics.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is lauded for AI threat detection, automation, user-friendly interface, and efficient endpoint security without cloud reliance.
I have an advanced app providing visibility of all my endpoints, which was not the case before.
SentinelOne has a feature to decommission automatically, which has been fantastic.
There's also automation that gives my team free time, preventing them from having to look for every alert.

Featured Reviews

SupravatMaji - PeerSpot reviewer
Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability
My advice to those wanting to implement RSA NetWitness Network is they have to first do a little due diligence, such as the exact requirement based on their needs. That will give them a direction for their investment because otherwise, the bill of material or bill of quantity (BOQ) may be higher side. It is important to do good due intelligence on the environment, see the exact requirement, and then go ahead with the solution. The solution is perfectly stable. I rate RSA NetWitness Network a nine out of ten.
Vidya Shree - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to manage, zero-trust option and supports both Linux and macOS
SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS. All SentinelOne features were equally supported across Windows, Linux, and Mac, whereas CrowdStrike was more heavy on the Windows side. They did not support all features on Linux. The Singularity console provides a unified view. But we already had similar dashboards available to the ones we had engineered ourselves. So it's not a deal-breaker. For us, it was about supporting multiple operating systems. That was more important. So, these dashboards we have are third-party tools integrated with SentinelOne.
