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.

Offers in-application policies and device blocking and easy to deploy

There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view. Symantec is not a cloud-based security, which means if any endpoints move to different locations, they cannot connect directly. It has to reconnect via VPN through the organization. So remote client control, I don't think Broadcom has developed that as of now, compared to Trend Micro.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have."

"SentinelOne's managed detection response service Vigilance Respond is convenient for companies like ours with small IT teams. If something happens on the weekend, SentinelOne steps in and resolves the issue. It's a false positive 97% of the time, but at least they're resolved instead of hanging around for us to find on Monday."

"Offers good protection against ransomware."

"We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."

"What I like best about SentinelOne Singularity Complete is its web-based admin interface, which allows me to go into the platform, look at the entire organization, particularly all of the sentinels or endpoints, and manage everything from there."

"SentinelOne offers several valuable features for threat detection and response."

"The Deep Visibility feature is the most useful part of the EDR platform. It gives us good insights into what is actually happening on the endpoints, e.g., when we have malicious or suspicious activity. We came from a legacy type AV previously, so we didn't have that level of visibility or understanding. For simplifying threat-hunting, it is extremely useful, where traditional techniques in threat hunting are quite laborious. We can put in indicators of compromise and it will sweep the environment for them, then they would give us a breakdown of what assets have been seen and where they have been seen, which is more of a forensics overview."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pros

"It protects emails and messages shared between users."

"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."

"The solution prevents any damage from viruses and provides risk mitigation for virus threats."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced rate firewall protection, the URL filtering."

"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."

"The tool's performance is good. It provides efficient updates quickly, even before threats are encountered in our environment. We've been using this solution for the last fifteen years and have found it very good. It helps to prevent ransomware attacks. We are already using its antivirus and firewall solutions. It has asset management and XDR features."

"The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection."

"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."

Cons

"The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges."

"The solution does not have an application security and control module."

"They can improve the administrative interface. They can make it more user-friendly."

"It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."

"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."

"They are still largely an EDR product."

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

"My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete cons

"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."

"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."

"Any traffic coming through should be recognized whether it is a legitimate URL or not."

"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."

"The deployment of Symantec components could be improved."

"The solution should include automatic updates."

"Installation and packaging for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete should be improved. Its console is also confusing, so that's another area for improvement."

"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."

"From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos."

"The pricing of SentinelOne is less than McAfee."

"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."

"It is expensive. There is no doubt about it. If one of the functions does not work, it becomes very difficult for any CIO to justify the cost."

"The pricing model is simple."

"The licensing is comparable to other solutions in the market. The pricing is competitive."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pricing and cost advice

"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."

"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."

"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."

"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."

"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."

"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."

"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not expensive."
