SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an endpoint protection solution that my company deployed on all workstations and servers to protect against ransomware, malware, and other types of infection.

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. For example, if someone is infected, I can manage the whole operation and process from the admin panel.

I also find SentinelOne Singularity Complete beneficial in its interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party applications. This helps the solution stand out.

The ability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete to ingest and correlate across security solutions is also a great feature.

The solution has not reduced any of the alerts for my company, but I'm happy to see when the alerts come through on the platform. As for the mean time to detect, SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped reduce it by ninety percent.

I noticed the mean time to respond has been reasonably quicker after using SentinelOne Singularity Complete, plus the organizational risk has been reduced.

In terms of quality and maturity, SentinelOne Singularity Complete has been around for a while and is a trusted solution. I have a colleague who works for another organization that was hit with ransomware, and the consulting company working with his team recommended SentinelOne Singularity Complete as one of the changes to implement immediately so from that standpoint, I truly enjoyed hearing that knowing that my company is also a SentinelOne Singularity Complete customer.

As a strategic security partner, I found the solution great, primarily because all of its features work well.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete takes up a lot of memory in Google Chrome, which sometimes causes it to lag, so this is an area for improvement. The solution could be improved by increasing its efficiency within the web browser.

Another area for improvement in SentinelOne Singularity Complete is technical support, particularly the response time when dealing with non-critical issues.

We've been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for over two years now.

I didn't experience crashing and downtime from SentinelOne Singularity Complete, so I find it stable.

For my company's use, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is great and has no issues scalability-wise.

The technical support provided for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a seven out of ten because the team takes longer to deal with non-critical support issues. Response time could be faster.

Neutral

My company was looking for a solution encompassing a wide range of protection, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete matched what the company was looking for. The company used another product, particularly Webroot, and then moved to this solution.

Moving to SentinelOne Singularity Complete was my company's decision as it had more features, was more advanced and was more suitable for an enterprise application. Hence, the solution was ultimately a better fit when compared to Webroot.

I was involved in the initial deployment of SentinelOne Singularity Complete, which was very straightforward.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete was implemented in-house. I did it all by myself.

Anytime my company doesn't get infected with ransomware, there's ROI from SentinelOne Singularity Complete, as being infected with ransomware is pretty costly.

I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair.

I've never used the Ranger functionality of SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

In my company, SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a hybrid deployment.

From a maintenance perspective, I have to ensure the solution is working and looks good, but I only have to go in and check occasionally. In SentinelOne Singularity Complete, the upgrade is automated.

My rating for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is nine out of ten.

I'd tell others looking into SentinelOne Singularity Complete that it provides complete protection and has yet to fail my company, so it's a solution that I recommend. I'd tell others to go with SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

My company is a SentinelOne customer.

It's our main EDR solution on campus for our university. It's the main solution that we deployed to our host throughout the university.

I wasn't here for the initial implementation, however, it was to replace a previous product that we had, so we wanted to move to something cleaner, easier to use, and an overall better product.

Its basic use, which is just an EDR solution for actively hunting and killing threats, is good. It does what we had intended it to do, and that's what it does a great job of.

The main feature, its EDR capabilities, is the most valuable. It is great for security monitoring and blocking when needed. It offers good basic operations of an antivirus solution.

Singularity's ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions is good. It does not ingest as much as it gives out. Right now, for us, there is not any ingesting happening for it right now. We don't have that set up.

The interoperability with other solutions or other third-party applications has been pretty solid. It's pretty standalone by itself. We're exporting a little bit of data from it, however, and we haven't had any issues.

Our mean time to detect is good. I wouldn't have the numbers on that, however, it's relatively quick. From some of the stuff that we've done investigations on, it's within the minute. It responds when it sees something within minutes and runs through its normal process of blocking and then alerting us about whatever was done.

The response comes to us. That's a human response. It's just the detection and alerting system, and then the response falls on us, and that varies depending on workload.

The quality is obviously great. They are mature. They change, they adapt as any security tool would in response to the threats in the threat landscape.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of much that’s wrong with the product. It's a pretty solid tool from top to bottom. I've had some issues with the specific agents, however, we are moving off of that particular OS that we were having issues with. Other than that, it's been a pretty solid tool.

We had a problem on the Singularity side. So for that particular issue, I’m not sure why it didn’t work with the OS, a Windows Server. It was an issue with some of the clients connecting to the console. We’ve been working with them and haven't been able to find out a single cause of failure.

I've been using the solution for a year and a half. 

We haven't had any issues. There is nothing that's noticeable and it's never offline for long periods of time. 

It's pretty scalable. There are a few operating systems that we've had issues with. Other than that, everything else has been pretty scalable.

Technical support is super. They are very helpful and relatively quick to respond. Sometimes they take a little bit to respond, however, it's not super long. 

The company also has good online knowledge and it's pretty helpful. Usually, we'll access the database knowledge first and then go to support. 

Positive

We used CrowdStrike previously.

I was not involved in the initial setup. 

I'm not hands-on. I'm more on the management side. Basically, we make sure that they connect, and I'll handle the management once everything's set up. I'm handling monitoring. Deployment is handled by another team. We have maybe ten team members who manage deployments. 

The maintenance is minimal. It's pretty self-sufficient. We just do normal reviews. 

From my point of view, the deployment is straightforward. 

We use internal teams to handle deployment. 

I'm not sure of the pricing. That's above me. I'm a technical person. It's not my arena.

They also have this feature called Ranger. That one we don't have implemented. That's an extra fee, so we don't have it.

Overall, I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's been a pretty solid tool. 

I would probably recommend it over some of the other ones that I've seen only based on the ease of use. It does what it's supposed to do. It's been relatively fast and is also pretty complete from what we've seen. The product is not very difficult to learn.

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus and also as a network control with built-in policies regarding device control. 

The product is a lighter client. Our previous solution ran heavy on the workstations and caused performance issues. This is lightweight and doesn't take up system resources. 

You can use the solution right out of the box. It's ready to go with baseline policies and is good to use without any changes. It's only gotten better since we've added custom rules. 

It's simple to use and intuitive. It gives you good visibility and shows what is going on. 

The product works well with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party tools. It's pretty seamless. They make it pretty easy to integrate with other products and you can pull data pretty easily from the other solutions. 

The solution's ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is excellent. It has allowed us to blend data from another product we own. 

It's helped us consolidate our other security solutions.

The product provides network and asset visibility. The Ranger piece is probably one of the best items. We have other solutions for asset management, yet none is never 100%. With Ranger, we really get that visibility we need. Having Ranger built into one client and being easy to use has been perfect. It helps us prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We've discovered a few assets within our organization we were not managing fully and Ranger has helped us secure our environment just that little bit more. 

There are fewer complaints from users when scans are running. The previous solution just used up so many resources. This product runs seamlessly in the background and we know it's running since we get triggers on alerts that are legitimate catches. SentinelOne does a good job at detecting. It's reduced our alerts by 25%.

The product has helped to free up our staff for other projects and tasks. It's freed around 50% of their time. 

It's reduced our company's mean time to detect by 40% or more. It's also drastically improved the mean time to respond. We don't have to worry about false positives. We know when we get an alert that it's legitimate, and we need to act on it. That's improved by about 40% to 50%

The biggest thing for me in terms of improvements is the online console. There are frequent updates, and sometimes we'll get a little agitated getting signed in. However, on the product itself, I would not recommend any changes.

I've used the solution for a little over a year.

The solution is very stable. Our old solution required babysitting to make sure everything was running correctly.

Pretty much everybody in the company uses the solution. We have 1,300 deployed agents and ten administrators. 

The solution is absolutely scalable. 

I have not had to use technical support.

We previously used Sophos. The biggest reason for the switch to SentinelOne was the system resources that were used. Whenever it would kick in, I would get tickets related to machine performance. 

The console is on the cloud, however, the devices are on-premises. The initial setup was very straightforward. Overall, it was fairly quick. We had more trouble getting the older product uninstalled than SentinelOne installed. We did the implementation slowly based on the business requirements. We deployed it over the course of a month. 

The company does a good job with training and keeping its documentation up to date.

It does not require much maintenance. Every now and then we might have one or two false positives.

We've seen a great ROI on the product. Obviously, we're still within our contract. That said, we've definitely seen a ROI. We've had a couple of incidents where something wouldn't have been detected previously.

The solution is fairly priced for what you get. 

We're a customer and end-user.

They do an excellent job at remaining innovative - including with their detection engines and everything involved in their product. They are doing an excellent job compared to everyone else.

SentinelOne has not been around for many years - yet the product is ahead of its time.

With any solution, I'd advise doing a proof of concept first. After that, I would not shy away from fully deploying this solution.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. The only thing that would improve the product is reducing the online console updates. 

We use it mainly for EDR, alert handling, and development. It's a detection and response tool. It is mainly for protecting endpoints and having response capabilities. We use it as the one endpoint solution for all departments and all operating systems.

We get a lot of data from SentinelOne about threats, and obviously that helps protect the organization.

It helps reduce alerts because it can correlate the data. It doesn't just depend on hashes. It can see the behaviors, and that helps a lot to reduce alerts. Compared to our previous tool, it is detecting 20 to 30 percent fewer false alerts.

In addition, because it has real-time detection, it helps decrease our MTTR. Within seconds, we'll get the data. And for mean time to respond, we need to collect the data, and most of it is available. So it takes us five to 10 minutes to respond after detection.

For our organization, security is very important. If a solution is protecting us, it is like saving money. With SentinelOne's features and the fact that it is in the cloud, that makes it cheaper. As an EDR tool—the best one—it helps to reduce risk; in our organization by 30 to 40 percent.

They provide a map, a process tree, and that is pretty good for analysis.

Also, it can be integrated with third-party threat intelligence tools. From that perspective, it's good. And we can ingest SentinelOne data into Splunk and correlate and provide analysis on that.

It gets data from all the endpoints, and we'll have that in a centralized place, and we can track those cases to detect the threats. It helps protect the organization in that way.

And Ranger provides network and asset visibility. We have network-level data visibility, as well as endpoint data and application layer data. It has a good feature to collect all the domains that are initiated. That helps us see if there are any malicious connections on the machines. And it's simple because Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes.

They could add more visibility on the network side. That is currently done via a plugin.

Also, it would help if they could get all the relevant threat information, the related events, in one place. Currently, we need to go to a number of places and do research. If they could have it all in one place, that would help investigations.

I have been working with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about one and a half years.

It is a stable solution and it is growing.

It can be extended in the cloud, so the scalability is a 9 out of ten.

The tech support is really good. We get responses on time, as defined in the SLAs.

Positive

The SentinelOne team helps with the implementation, and as it is a cloud SaaS application, we didn't have to do much. They have pretty well-defined documentation, and it is straightforward. And similarly, the maintenance is taken care of by the vendor.

We are seeing ROI because we are securing and protecting the company and, obviously, protecting its money as well. As an EDR, it's doing a good job of protecting the endpoints.

It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point.

In terms of maturity, SentinelOne is a good tool.

It can be used in any department in an environment with Windows, Linux, and Mac machines.

Use it, but start with documentation. Once you understand the basics, it is pretty straightforward.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for the EDR piece, and we have it installed everywhere.

Singularity Complete works well with other SentinelOne solutions. We must make sure to whitelist the right binary with other tools, and that is all.

The ability to ingest and correlate data across our security operations is good. We can send all of the events to our SIEM system, or we can use Singularity Complete's built-in SIEM functionality. I believe the retention period is 14 days by default, but we purchased the additional package that allows us to store data for longer.

Ranger is a great tool that lets us see what's on our network which is extremely important. It pings other devices on the network and tells us what kind of devices they are. We're big fans of Ranger!

Ranger does not require any new agents, hardware, or network changes. It automatically starts mapping out the network, which is great for us.

Ranger helps prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised by alerting us to their presence. This allows us to proactively install SentinelOne on these devices, which is a very helpful tool.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped improve our organization by preventing hacks and providing us with visibility into our devices through the Deep Visibility plugin that we have enabled.

It has reduced the number of alerts we receive by 80 percent. We spent the first six months tuning the workflow of different admins and users, and after that, we only received alerts that required action.

It has helped free up our staff to work on other projects and tasks. They now only receive actionable alerts, without any false positives, which saves them a few hours per week.

Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTD by 40 percent.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTR. We are alerted right away and we can access the dashboard and respond from there quickly.

I like the centralized management with the web dashboard. It allows me to quickly view incidents and see what's happening in a well-organized way. I can also easily query different points.

SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one and a half years.

We have run SentinelOne Singularity Complete on many different machines without any stability issues.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable.

We've had nothing but fantastic things to say about the support. Our technical account manager is great, and the support staff has been very helpful. We've also been onboarded with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and everyone from the account manager all the way down to the support engineer has been excellent.

Positive

We replaced Symantec Endpoint Security Complete with SentinelOne Singularity Complete to improve our security posture because Symantec was outdated.

The initial setup was straightforward and required six people for deployment, which took a few weeks to complete. Some teams took a little longer to figure out their deployment, but we deployed the whole system enterprise-wide within a month or two.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a mature solution.

We have deployed SentinelOne Singularity Complete across multiple locations, departments, and operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac. We have around one thousand endpoints.

The only maintenance required is the package updates that are released to keep the solution up to date. The cloud version is automatically updated by SentinelOne support, which manages it. The agents themselves must be updated manually which I do by clicking on them.

I recommend completing a POC to ensure SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a good fit before moving forward.

We use Singularity to protect our staff computers, the hospital network, and virtual machine servers. Singularity helps us ensure our environment is fully protected in light of the increasing cyberattacks hospitals face.  

Singularity's Ranger feature provides deep visibility. We implemented some rules, and Ranger scans the system based on the criteria we set. Ranger's ability to scan without agents or network changes is crucial because we want to minimize the number of changes needed on end-user machines. It's an excellent tool for minimizing risk and detecting threats before they disrupt our network.

The solution has decreased the number of alerts we see. We get notifications and email alerts that some user machines are compromised. Singularity does a good job with bad files and data, allowing us to tackle those threats before they become bigger problems.

Singularity has helped free up staff time. For example, it automatically updates virus definitions so we don't need to do that work manually. Singularity pulls the latest virus definitions on its own. It actively monitors our machines without us having to do anything.

It has reduced our mean time to detect by about 70 percent. Singularity has reduced the mean time to respond by roughly 90 percent because we can choose to respond to a threat by rolling back, deleting, or quarantining it. It greatly reduces our overall risk by about 30 percent. 

Singularity's rollback feature is one of the primary reasons we bought the product. If there's an attack on the machine, the system can automatically roll back the data and the hard drive of the machine that was attacked.

The interoperability is solid. We've integrated Google Authenticator with SentinelOne for multifactor authentication, so it works well. We also use Citrix multifactor authentication. It works well with our other systems. 

The performance could be better. Singularity lags a bit, and it's a resource-hungry application, so it takes a while to load. 

I have used Singularity for about a year.

I rate SentinelOne Singularity seven out of 10 for stability. The stability and performance could be better. 

Singularity is highly scalable. We can easily cover all our machines with it. 

I rate SentinelOne's support seven out of 10. SentinelOne's customer service isn't that great. There's only so much they can do before they just tell you to look at the documentation.

Neutral

The deployment was straightforward. We worked with a trainer and implementation specialist over at Sentinel. Four people from our team and one from the vendor were involved. After installation, the primary maintenance is ensuring the agents are deployed to the end-user machines. 

Singularity is fairly priced. 

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of 10. It's a high-quality product compared to what else is on the market. When implementing Singularity, it helps to organize your machines into groups like laptops, servers, and desktops and then push the agent to those groups separately.

Our primary use cases involve Endpoint Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response.

My positive experience with SentinelOne lies in its comprehensive version, allowing for rollback and replay of events, which is especially useful for EDR. The strength of behavior-based solutions like SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, CyberArk, and others lies in their ability to reveal the consequences of opening a file. Witnessing the impact of a virus gaining control over a computer or understanding the ramifications of opening a file adds a layer of insight.

It stands out for its seamless interoperability with other SentinelOne products and tools, facilitated by REST interfaces. This integration is particularly potent when connecting SentinelOne as an endpoint solution to firewalls like Fortinet, allowing the firewall to receive insights from SentinelOne clients. In today's landscape, where file transfers often occur through encrypted channels, traditional firewalls face challenges in inspecting these streams effectively. SentinelOne's endpoint security addresses this by analyzing downloaded files in their decrypted form, providing a crucial layer of protection. The bidirectional information flow between the firewall and endpoint security, enabled by SentinelOne's REST API, empowers proactive threat prevention and detection, contributing to a robust cybersecurity posture.

Utilizing SentinelOne has significantly reduced the number of alerts for us. We might have experienced more false positives and missed potential attacks without it. Its alert system is efficient, with a low rate of false positives compared to other solutions I've heard about. Managing alerts is straightforward, and the platform allows for creating white lists to handle false positives, such as those related to old printer drivers. The administration is user-friendly, offering features like multi-factor authentication for secure connections to the console and automatic updates within the SentinelOne interface.

It has proven to be a time-saver for our staff, significantly reducing the likelihood of falling victim to various cyber threats. By addressing the spectrum of attacks, from initial malware infiltration to potential worst-case scenarios like Active Directory compromise, SentinelOne has played a pivotal role. It effectively diminishes the probability of becoming a target for attacks that exploit stolen passwords, infiltrate the company's IT infrastructure, and escalate privileges, ultimately leading to severe consequences such as a randomized Active Directory.

The platform is user-friendly, easy to administer, and aligns well with GDPR requirements, which is crucial for us. What makes SentinelOne stand out is its speed and efficiency, consuming minimal computing resources. It operates by checking data only when it's accessed, synchronizing with the process that opens the data which is well-designed and effective.

I don't actively use SentinelOne's Ranger functionality because we haven't implemented it university-wide. While we've employed it in specific cases, my experience with it is limited. However, it provides valuable insights into past events, allowing you to trace the history of a virus download or malware activity. For instance, you might discover that a virus was downloaded two weeks ago using the Safari web browser, saved to the computer, and later opened with Excel, triggering certain actions before SentinelOne intervened. The ability to roll back such ransom actions is a valuable capability provided by SentinelOne.

It primarily operates on local machines, monitoring processes, and not always providing detailed insights, relying on external information to determine the nature of a file. This limitation becomes apparent in more complex scenarios, such as analyzing or assessing the content of files at the byte level, especially in cases involving files like Excel, where there may be some difficulty in discerning potential issues. They should consider incorporating a cloud-based service where users can upload suspicious links, documents like Excel sheets, or ambiguous files to observe their behavior in a sandbox environment. Currently, with SentinelOne, the process involves setting up a separate network and machine for this purpose, requiring users to upload the file and monitor its behavior on the dedicated machine. Offering a free and accessible service like this would be a noteworthy enhancement to their product, providing users with a convenient and efficient way to analyze potentially harmful content.

I have been working with it for four years.

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

I would rate its scalability abilities nine out of ten.

I am highly satisfied with their technical support; it is truly excellent. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Positive

Comparatively, SentinelOne has certain drawbacks, particularly when measured against CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike offers a free sandbox at hybrid-analysis.com, allowing the examination of links and downloaded files on a virtual machine. This proves especially valuable in assessing potential phishing emails. Uploading the file or link to hybrid-analysis.com provides a detailed analysis, complete with screenshots of what transpires on the virtual machine. This includes actions like the opening of links, prompting CEO impersonation attempts, and other background information. While SentinelOne may lack these specific features, its advantage lies in being an all-encompassing solution, whereas CrowdStrike functions primarily as a managed service, which may not align with specific preferences.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment of Singularity Complete involved some consultation, as we collaborated with a partner who facilitated the onboarding process with SentinelOne. While the partner occasionally provides support, larger issues are infrequent, and overall, the deployment has been relatively smooth. We have implemented it across various locations. There is some maintenance involved in managing Singularity Complete.

It's challenging to quantify precisely, but the implementation of Singularity Complete has significantly reduced organizational risks. Currently, we employ it on critical systems, constituting approximately fifty percent of our infrastructure.

Creating separate groups for various types of computers, like Windows servers and clients, enables efficient management and customization of security configurations tailored to specific needs. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to protect our environment.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us reduce the number of alerts we receive. I was attacked three times, and each time I received an alert. There were a lot of good features in SentinelOne that we were not aware of until we contacted them after we were hacked. SentinelOne took the role of fast response protection and took action.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has freed up our staff's time to work on other tasks and projects. I made many changes to my department this year, including migrating all of my servers from on-premises to the cloud. With Singularity Complete, I was able to protect my cloud servers immediately and shut down my on-premises. I was also able to receive notifications of changes to IP addresses and users, which are common changes that occur during a migration. Sentinel was able to alert me every time there was a change.

In terms of service, SentinelOne has very great service. They respond immediately as soon as we open a ticket. I got attacked last year, and they were able to help me resolve my issues. So I got a fast response. Of course, we paid for it, but in terms of professionalism and support, they were extremely professional, and they have a lot of professional people working for them.

The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks.

The SentinelOne portal is not user-friendly, which is one of its drawbacks. We have to search for options to disable and enable protection. We have to go through it on our own to find the options we need to add or remove notifications. SentinelOne did not tell us about these options until we encountered problems and had to contact them. We were not well informed. When we first implemented the solution all the options were turned off and we did not know that we had to navigate through and turn on what we required.

The MTTD has room for improvement. I was attacked last year and did not receive an alert from SentinelOne Singularity Complete until 24 hours after the attack occurred.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable and we have not encountered any issues.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete's scalability an eight out of ten.

We do not have a support package, so we pay per use, which is expensive. However, they are very professional and follow up well. They took charge immediately, found a solution immediately, and blocked the ransomware attack. They also gave us details on what to do next. Two to three days later, they called my department back and followed up with the system administrator to make sure everything was okay. Overall, I am satisfied with their service.

Positive

I previously used Microsoft Defender and Sophos. SentinelOne is a much better solution than Defender and has a quicker response time to alerts and attacks than Sophos.

The initial deployment was straightforward. Implementing SentinelOne was not complicated, and more user-friendly than the others.

The deployment was completed by myself and one admin.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos. However, it is worth the price for its quick response and immediate remediation options.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten. SentinelOne is one of the best security solutions I have worked with. I would rank it in the top three best platforms for security.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an aggressive and accurate security solution.

No maintenance is required except for updates that we push out to all end users.

For organizations that want an aggressive security partner, I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

Although SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, I have no qualms about investing more money in the security of my department and data. I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my data is safe.
