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.

Offers strong, all-around cybersecurity but is expensive
Installing Trend Micro Smart Protection is typically easy, but it can be tricky if you have another antivirus that must be removed first. A cloud solution is a better option as it simplifies the process by only requiring an endpoint connection to the console, ensuring safety and ease of deployment. Deploying Trend Micro Smart Protection usually takes just a few minutes. It involves preparing an SQL table, checking the environment for optimal performance, and ensuring no conflicting antivirus solutions exist. Once that is done, deploying it is as simple as running a script. We have a team of eight engineers who maintain the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to set up."
"The tool deletes the problem-causing process and prevents issues."
"They provide a map, a process tree, and that is pretty good for analysis."
"Unlike other endpoint solutions like Kaspersky or Trend Micro, SentinelOne's agents are exceptionally lightweight, updating seamlessly without consuming significant network or system resources."
"In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature."
"The most valuable aspect, in any scenario, was the rollback feature."
"SentinelOne is a stable solution."
"SentinelOne Singularity has hundreds of features. The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use and threat control."
"The solution gives users peace of mind that, form an endpoint perspective, they are protected once it is installed."
"The tool offers centralized security management. The tool's deployment is flexible."
"As a Japanese company, it doesn't have any restrictions on usage in our country."
"Trend Micro has consistently been recognized as a leader for endpoint security on Gartner, which has been our top priority. Based on my personal experience, we encountered fewer ransomware attacks for Trend Micro customers in Sri Lanka."
"Smart Protection is great for monitoring traffic, particularly email, and protecting the endpoints. Both are valuable."
"We haven't had any compatibility issues. It's quite stable and it's a good tool in preventing actual viruses or malware."
"The sandboxing is more proactive and more reliable than any of the other endpoint protection solutions."
"What I like the most is the customer pricing because it's a great value."
 

Cons

"The false positive rate has room for improvement."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but, there's nothing much else to do. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."
"The solution’s distributed intelligence at the endpoint is pretty effective, but from time to time I see that the agent is not getting the full execution history or command-line parameters. I would estimate the visibility into an endpoint is around 80 percent. There is 20 percent you don't see because, for some reason, the agents don't get all of the information."
"It is difficult to manage users in SentinelOne."
"The most difficult part of using Singularity Complete is logging in, as they often update the management console."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM."
"The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges."
"It would be nice to be able to adjust the canned reports manually and choose the specific data we want to report on instead of being limited to their pre-set reports."
"I cannot recall noticing any missing features."
"This product is not very simple and in fact, kind of hard for some people to understand."
"Smart Protection could be more compatible with older operating systems like Windows XP and Windows 2000. Some of our clients have requested that."
"The solution could be more stable and secure."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection could improve automatic scanning because sometimes it pops up when I am doing my work. It would be helpful to have a feature to have it only automatically scan when the system is on standby mode. I would be able to be more efficient with my work. Additionally, security could improve."
"We were considering switching to SentinalOne because it has pre-detection, and Trend Micro does not offer this; it's something the solution should add."
"Some functionalities within the DLP can be improved."
"Enhanced capability to detect and protect against various malicious programs would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne's pricing could be lower."
"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."
"It is very competitive with other solutions that are on the market. At least the last time we renewed, it was very competitive."
"The price is costly compared to what we were previously paying with Microsoft Defender and McAfee."
"The one I use is $6 a month per device. Some are $4 and there are some that are more than that."
"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."
"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."
"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."
"The solution is a little expensive. However, they can reduce the price for competition. There are different licensing models."
"The price of the solution should be less expensive."
"Our organization has paid licensing for three years, which averaged about $4.00 USD per user. We've been satisfied with the licensing. It's quite reasonable."
"Whether something is affordable or pricy, is relative. It depends on the value an institution has attached to a capability. For us, security is a premium requirement, I can't say a solution is pricey if we are able to afford it and run it for seven years, I would say it's affordable."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and I believe our organization paid about $2,000/year. However, it's been a while since I looked at the pricing and we no longer use the solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"If I'm not mistaken, for three years, for 400 licenses, we paid nearly 15,000 euros. We don't have any additional costs that we have to pay on top of that."
"We pay for the solution on a yearly basis. We pay approximately 100 Euros a year per user. There are no additional fees above this."
