Reduces organizational risk, low on machine load, and helps prevent ransomware
The most important aspect of the solution is that the load on the machine is not very high. It doesn't take up battery resources. The solution prevents ransomware and other threats. So far, it is working brilliantly. The dashboards and UI are user friendly, as is the ability to configure as needed. It seems to have a lot more capabilities. The XDR capabilities, in particular, look very strong. We're currently looking into that. If we want to do integrations with third parties, we don't have very many challenges around that. The ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is very useful. It's impressive. The AI engine it has is excellent. It helps us consolidate our security solutions. While it does not allow us to reduce alerts per se, it does a good job of correlating. The way it's integrated into the SIM, it's working to the expectations we have. The solution helps free up people so that they can work on other tasks. We don't have to grow our team too much now. My security team is actually quite small - about five people. We all get more time to handle other tasks. We've noted that it does help reduce mean time to respond. We can identify events easier and those that are most critical are brought to the forefront. Previously, we were in the dark. Now we have so much more visibility. It's been a huge improvement. It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk.

Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting."
"The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."
"The tool deletes the problem-causing process and prevents issues."
"SentinelOne also provides equal protection across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I have all of them and every flavor of them you could possibly imagine. They've done a great job because I still have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support. It can support legacy environments as well as newer environments, including all the latest OS's... There are cost savings not only on licensing but because I don't have to have different people managing different consoles."
"The solution has helped reduce our alerts."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"SentinelOne has helped us to improve our security by fine-tuning our current use cases and creating new ones."
"The GUI is really easy to use."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is stable."
"The security is good."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response are its immediate response and investigation."
"I have had absolutely no problem with using this solution, it really works well."
"I've mainly found the antivirus and antispyware features valuable. The documentation is okay as well."
"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution can scale well."
 

Cons

"One thing I don't like is the exportable report. They're they're not as useful as I'd hoped they would be."
"Deployment strategy for large organizations that do not use active directory (AD)."
"There are things that they can do to improve the console or improve the product, and they are making strides in it."
"We have had one or two occasions when we had to roll back off our Windows machine. Then, we had an issue with SentinelOne where we couldn't let the client make contact with the cloud service anymore. Therefore, the integration with the Windows Service Recovery could be improved in the future."
"The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."
"Since SentinelOne Hologram was an Attivo Networks product acquired by Microsoft, I have to install a different agent on endpoints for that product. It would be better if the same SentinelOne agent could be used for both the EDR and deception technology."
"The ability to integrate this product with an antivirus solution would be welcome. Even consolidation with more security products, like Umbrella networking abilities etc. to provide more on this platform, that would be great."
"SentinelOne can continue to make the presentation of relevant and timely data to the analysts as succinct and clear as possible. It will allow analysts to execute remediation or resolution with the least amount of clicks."
"I would like to see better scanning capabilities."
"I think we have experienced some technical issues because the company focuses mainly on bigger clients. Also, sometimes the solution fails to detect zero-day attacks, so that feature needs some enhancement because it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial."
"The interface has many issues."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"The solution needs to provide better integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 and licensing make sense."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection."
"The solution's price/performance ratio is reasonable."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Complete carries a higher price tag than some endpoint security solutions, customers find its robust features and return on investment justify the cost."
"The price is fair for what we are getting."
"Compared to the tools of competitors, Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is a cheaply priced product."
"The price is reasonable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Of late, because of the Broadcom purchase, its price has been increasing."
"The product is cheap."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
"We have a yearly subscription, and the pricing is fair."
"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
