Great features with good certification module but the cost can be prohibitive for some
We use this product for identity governance. There is the basic identity creation in the lifecycle followed by certification. I'm a company manager and implementer and we are customers of SailPoint.   I think the certification module is perhaps one of the most valuable features. The options are…

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

"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"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."
"Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart."
"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 product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
 

Cons

"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"The UI is complex."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"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."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"The alerts take four hours to generate in our AWS console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"It is affordable licensing."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"The price is affordable."
