Learn what your peers think about SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: November 2024.
824,067 professionals have used our research since 2012.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. The portal has never been down. We occasionally have an agent fall off the network, but this is usually due to the latest version of Windows being installed on an old agent, which causes it to stop working. However, this is very rare.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
As a growing company, I'm glad that the SentinelOne Singularity Complete portal will show more and more devices, but I'm not particularly concerned about that because I've paid for Vigilance service. I'm confident that we're covered no matter how many threats or issues arise.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is quick and provides great documentation to explain issues and remove agents.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used McAfee and it often caused our machines to blue screen and crash. SentinelOne, on the other hand, is a stable agent. If we install the latest agent on our machines, it will not affect their performance or speed. Many other agents can have adverse effects on our machines, but SentinelOne will not.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a next-generation antivirus that is far more innovative than McAfee. One of its selling points is that it constantly improves and looks for new threats, while McAfee has not changed significantly in years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment was straightforward. SentinelOne provides easy-to-follow well-documented instructions. I completed the deployment myself within half an hour.
What was our ROI?
SentinelOne Singularity Complete has protected us against infected machines, resulting in a 20 percent return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is fairly priced. After discussing the per-user cost, we found it to be acceptable for the functionality it offers, and we are happy with the protection it provides.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed across all departments and devices, and everything is in Intune. When anything is deployed to Intune, antivirus is applied first. It is mandatory on all devices. We have 270 endpoints.
No maintenance is required on our end.
SentinelOne, as a strategic security partner, meets all the requirements for being the solution to our cyber risk on devices, which is essential for us to know that we are safe.
I chose SentinelOne Singularity Complete at a previous company and sold it to the company I am with now. It is very easy to do a proof of concept and see everything that is missing from other solutions. I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

CISO at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Good integration with third parties, reduces alerts and reduces mean time to respond
Pros and Cons
- "It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have."
- "There aren't enough reporting capabilities for decision-makers."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution as an EDR tool. We focus specifically on Linux components and a Linux environment.
What is most valuable?
The threat detection and visibility as well as the migration of the data to our SIM instance has been useful. Doing automation workflows has been excellent.
They have fairly decent integration with third-party tools within their own stack. They have very strong integration with CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender. They also have connections for Palo Alto Networks and all the tools that we leverage across the firm. These are API connectors, so they are plug-and-play. The login session coordination piece is also fairly robust, which is done with Splunk on the same side.
It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have. We can move the data from the solution into third-party tools.
It helped us to reduce our alerts. On the the Linux kernel side, we have quite a few different versions of Linux, and hence the alerts that we used to get earlier were a lot more. They are significantly less since they're now managed and controlled through the Singularity platform.
Our mean time to detect has been reduced significantly. We've saved maybe thirty minutes to an hour. Our mean time to respond is a bit better by a few minutes.
What needs improvement?
The reports for the executives who are the decision makers should be better. That would help with product renewal and adding new modules. There aren't enough reporting capabilities for decision-makers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for just under a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not noted any crashing or lagging issues.
How are customer service and support?
They offer fairly decent technical support. We've not had any major challenges with them so far. The support team has been pretty good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have CrowdStrike as an EDR tool for Windows, and CrowdStrike did not really support our Linux kernels. That's when I did an evaluation with different vendors, and Singularity was able to support our Linux kernels.
How was the initial setup?
I was involved in the deployment. It was a straightforward deployment. We had six people handling the deployment.
We have not had a need for maintenance just yet.
What about the implementation team?
We used our own internal IT team for the implementation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike.
What other advice do I have?
It allows us to be innovative. It's fairly robust and one of the main leaders in the space. It's a pretty strong offering compared to others in the market. It is a quality product.
It's important to test it first to see if the solution works well for your firm. I'd advise people to validate and test it out thoroughly. Bringing in a solution is not that difficult, however, ripping and replacing a solution is hard, so you want to avoid regretting any decisions.
The solution is a helpful strategic security partner.
I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.

SecOps Lead at a manufacturing company with 11-50 employees
Offers a centralized dashboard to respond from, saves us time, and reduces alerts
Pros and Cons
- "I like the centralized management with the web dashboard."
- "SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete."
What is our primary use case?
We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for the EDR piece, and we have it installed everywhere.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have run SentinelOne Singularity Complete on many different machines without any stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We replaced Symantec Endpoint Security Complete with SentinelOne Singularity Complete to improve our security posture because Symantec was outdated.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.

Information Security Analyst at Point Loma Nazarene University
Helps reduce our threat detection time, response time, and improve our security
Pros and Cons
- "I find the application inventory feature to be extremely useful."
- "Although the SentinelOne firewall seems to offer potential benefits, in reality, it hasn't proven to be very helpful."
What is our primary use case?
We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to manage incidents that come in.
How has it helped my organization?
We wanted a solution that could help protect all of our endpoints. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is on all of our servers, and all of our endpoints, to protect against threats to the university.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete has aided our organization by offering a centralized platform for comprehensive visibility. It has enabled us to conveniently monitor all threats and manage our devices through the antivirus, all within a single interface.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete has certainly reduced the number of alerts over the past two years in my experience. We receive very few alerts now, which is excellent.
It has helped us free up our time to focus on other tasks. The solution is very helpful for configuring various exclusions. This ensures that the alerts we do receive, which are false positives, will not pester us in the future. This definitely provides us with more freedom and time to work on other matters.
Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR, which is now just a few minutes after detection.
It has helped our organization save costs.
Singularity has certainly reduced the risk for our organization. With its installation across all endpoints and servers, we are confident that it will effectively protect us against malware or intrusions attempting to breach our environment.
What is most valuable?
I find the application inventory feature to be extremely useful. We utilize GreenMile for MAC management, and it's not as straightforward to locate the inventory of the applications installed on our computers. As a result, I have been using the application inventory feature more frequently to accurately identify the programs installed on each machine.
What needs improvement?
One aspect to consider is the SentinelOne network firewall they have in place. I believe they implemented it approximately a year ago. Initially, we faced challenges during the setup phase, which consumed a considerable amount of time. Although the SentinelOne firewall seems to offer potential benefits, in reality, it hasn't proven to be very helpful. While the idea behind it appears promising, I think SentinelOne should consider removing it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for almost two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Singularity Complete is stable and I have not seen any downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We don't possess as many endpoints in comparison to, I suppose, other companies and universities. However, I believe that if we were to double them today, scaling Singularity Complete would become quite effortless.
How are customer service and support?
The times I've contacted customer support, it has been really good. There was only one instance when the support was very poor. However, after my concern was escalated to a supervisor or someone on the management team, my issue was resolved. So, I believe that was the only occurrence out of numerous customer interactions.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used ESET.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.
We currently only have a couple of integrations with Singularity Complete. I believe there is potential for more integration. As of now, we have only installed two apps that integrate with Singularity Complete.
No maintenance is required from our end.
SentinelOne is excellent as a strategic security partner. There have been numerous advancements, and since I began using the platform two years ago, they have undergone substantial changes. They have introduced many new features, and I have witnessed significant company growth over the past two years.
I suggest examining the various features available in SentinelOne's complete version. We have experienced numerous advantages with it. Often, when SentinelOne introduces new features, we don't notice them until they are fully developed. It's beneficial to explore some of the new features that are in beta. This allows us to experiment with them and assess how they can enhance our environment.

Information Security Engineer at Cybervergent
Protects endpoints, reasonably priced, and provides network and asset visibility
Pros and Cons
- "The Ranger feature is valuable."
- "The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for endpoint protection. Our clients are fintech companies, banks, and other organizations. The tool helps to pick up malicious files in the endpoint and protects the endpoint.
What is most valuable?
The Ranger feature is valuable. It helps us manage variable assets in our environment. The endpoints and nodes have SentinelOne engines on them.
What needs improvement?
The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console. Using SentinelOne Management Console to patch applications will be quite useful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 3 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution's stability 7 out of 10. I've only had issues with the agents once. I reported it through the management console.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We use the solution in endpoints in different departments across the organization. The tool does not require maintenance. We can auto-update it from SentinelOne Management Console. We can push the auto-update agent from the console. I rate the solution's scalability 9 out of 10.
How are customer service and support?
The support personnel always want to share links instead of joining sessions. Getting them on sessions that would probably help resolve the situation is quite hard. They don't always want to do it. That's the only issue I have with them. When we raise a support case, they get back to us and point us to a link to a community guide or solution. They don't respond quickly if the problem requires us to join a virtual session.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not complex. The deployment takes about 30 minutes. It is quite fast.
What was our ROI?
Our customers have seen an ROI on the product. It takes them 4 months to see ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool's price is reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
We are partners and resellers. Singularity Complete’s interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions is fine. I've been able to push logs into our SIEM solution. We used our API. It was quite easy to do. The API token expires, so we have to regenerate and integrate it.
The solution’s ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions is quite fast. I don't have any issues with it. The Ranger functionality provides network and asset visibility. It's quite important. We can identify when endpoints that are not permitted or allowed on the network are active. It helps us isolate or deploy an agent on the endpoints. It's quite useful.
Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It is used for existing agents or endpoints. We can also identify neighboring endpoints that do not have agents. It's easy because we do not have to do any additional configurations. It leverages the current agents that we have deployed across endpoints. It's a good feature. We need not deploy another agent to work for Ranger.
A computer that doesn't have an agent is vulnerable to exploits. When Ranger helps to find the computer and network, it helps to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised. We can identify and isolate the computer and deploy the agent on it. Singularity Complete does not reduce alerts.
The solution saves deployment time. We can push agents from the management console to the endpoint. It will save us time from physically going to the endpoint and installing the agent ourselves. The product reduces MTTD by 20%. The product reduces MTTR by 20%.
If an endpoint gets compromised, we will have to spend money. The tool generally helps us stay safe and protects computers. Thus, the solution reduces costs in the long run. Unprotected endpoints are risky endpoints. Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.
Singularity Complete is quite a good tool. I'm quite confident in its ability to detect threats. It is good to have SentinelOne as a strategic security partner. People planning to use the tool must go for it. It's a good solution. It does what it claims.
Overall, I rate the product 8 out of 10.

A great XDR service, good visibility, and helps reduce organizational risk
Pros and Cons
- "SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory."
- "I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints."
What is our primary use case?
We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for incident management planning to protect against insider and outsider threats, monitor threats, block websites across our branches, and manage assets.
Before implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we could not track our assets, manage the threat insights, or block USB devices. Now we can manage and handle all our assets and keep them healthy. We can also protect our data from malware and ransomware attacks.
How has it helped my organization?
The SentinelOne Singularity Complete reporting suite is essential for providing comprehensive visibility into the security posture of an organization.
We realized the benefits of SentinelOne Singularity Complete two months after we deployed it. We knew after the proof-of-concept that SentinelOne Singularity Complete would be useful in our environment.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps our organization track all our systems. We receive an automated weekly threat report on our systems, which helps us manage incidents before they occur. We automatically receive insight threat reports in our emails, which is a great way to identify and track issues so that we can remove the affected asset from the environment to protect our systems and network.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.
What is most valuable?
SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory.
SentinelOne's XDR service is valuable. We use them to find the root cause of an issue.
What needs improvement?
I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Kaspersky, but we found that it could not clearly identify all of our assets and risks. With SentinelOne Singularity Complete, our environment is more secure.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment was straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We used a third party for the implementation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.
We recommend that people evaluate SentinelOne Singularity Complete before buying it. At a minimum, they should compare it to their current solution and other products to see the difference. They should do a small comparison of the major points that each product covers and does not cover. Once they have a good understanding of the options, they can have a demo or proof-of-concept before making a purchase. Additionally, it is helpful to check which companies are currently using SentinelOne Singularity Complete in their live environment for a long period of time without experiencing any challenges.

Threat and Vulnerability Manager at GBG Plc
Automation has been fantastic for us, and with real-time detection, we have better security
Pros and Cons
- "I work in vulnerability management, and for me, at the moment, its automation is most valuable. For the SOC team, incident visibility would be most valuable, but for me, it is automation."
- "In automation, if we could schedule when we run the task and on which systems we want to run the task, it would improve automation."
What is our primary use case?
First and foremost, we use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for endpoint detection and response in our company. We do not have any antivirus anymore. We have SentinelOne for the endpoint detection, response, and defense mechanism. This is our primary use case.
We also have other use cases. I work predominantly in vulnerability management. I sometimes work in the SOC. For vulnerability management, we use it in a number of different ways. We sometimes use it to see which applications and versions are running on systems. We use it for an inventory of applications. We do not use it for vulnerability detection. We have another tool for that, which I believe is more dedicated to technical vulnerabilities. I know there has been some investment in this area, but at the moment, we are not using it for that.
We also use it for running scripts and automating tasks on systems. In fact, I have been doing a lot of that recently. They have developed their automation and remote ops part, which has been fantastic for us. I have been updating a lot of applications using the scripts that I have deployed with SentinelOne. I love that part of the tool. It makes life a lot easier.
I sometimes also use it to determine where we may not have other pieces of software on systems. For example, we use a vulnerability tool that runs on an agent. I can use SentinelOne to see whether all of the systems on which we have SentinelOne also have our vulnerability tool agent. If a system does not have it, we can deploy a script from SentinelOne to add the agent.
We also use Ranger, so we can identify other systems on our network that do not necessarily have SentinelOne agents. That can be quite useful sometimes. Because of Ranger, we have seen a lot of systems that we did not already know about.
As a part of the endpoint detection response, we ingest logs through our central SIEM. We have a hybrid Security Operations Center. The first line is done by a third party. They have access to the SIEM, and all of the SentinelOne data is ingested into that. When there is an incident or when SentinelOne detects an incident, it gets flagged to the Security Operations Center, and then we start to investigate that incident. Most of the time, if it is a SentinelOne-related incident, we will log in to SentinelOne and use it to investigate the incident. We look at the logs on the endpoint and try to establish whether it is a genuine incident or a false positive, what happened on the system, and why we are getting these alerts.
How has it helped my organization?
We use the Ranger functionality. It provides network and asset visibility. It is quite important for us. If we did not have another tool that is doing similar, it would have been extremely important, but we do have a vulnerability management tool that is very similar. It is quite good that it does that automatically out of the box, whereas we have to configure our vulnerability scanning solution to do something like this. The ability to have visibility of the network where we do not necessarily have SentinelOne deployed is very important.
Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. This is important for us. It has an advantage over our vulnerability management tool because we have to deploy scanners with our vulnerability management tool, whereas we do not have to deploy anything for SentinelOne Ranger, so in that way, it is a better solution in helping us.
Ranger is very effective in helping to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised. For example, we used Ranger and identified some systems in our data center that we could just log on to. It was not very difficult to get on to those devices. Therefore, it would not have been difficult for anyone else to get on those devices. We did not necessarily have the permission to do so, but we found a way to do that. We managed to get those devices secured, and therefore, increase the security of our systems. That kicked off from Ranger, and that is a good use case.
Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. For example, with automation, I have been able to patch some of our systems, which has freed up time for our help desk team. They do not have to patch some of the systems. It has also been helpful for deploying some of our agents for our other tools. If we deploy through SentinelOne using the script, that frees up our team's time.
Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. The previous solution we had was signature-based, so for endpoint detection, it has to know a certain kind of attack before it can detect it or even block it. Because Singularity Complete is more looking at the behavior of running processes and how these processes interact with other processes on the system, it has helped to reduce the risk. We are not relying on static detection signatures. We have got real-time detection. Singularity Complete can detect things that may be the first-ever attack in the world, and we get notified about it. It does reduce the risk.
What is most valuable?
I work in vulnerability management, and for me, at the moment, its automation is most valuable. For the SOC team, incident visibility would be most valuable, but for me, it is automation.
What needs improvement?
In automation, if we could schedule when we run the task and on which systems we want to run the task, it would improve automation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for two and a half years. I have been using it since I joined this company.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not had any issues with it. It has always worked for me.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is quite scalable. I do not see anything holding it back in that regard.
How are customer service and support?
My impression of SentinelOne as a strategic security partner is very positive.
In terms of support, for a lot of support requirements, I go through the engineering team. They are very knowledgeable about Singularity Complete, but I did contact SentinelOne's support team recently in July. There was a particular vulnerability that Microsoft had already caught. Microsoft Defender had a setting that would automatically block the vulnerability. I raised the question to SentinelOne support asking whether SentinelOne has the same ability to block the vulnerability. It took me a few times to get them to understand what I was asking, and they could not confirm 100% that it was blocked. They just said that their solution does block vulnerability attempts, but they did not specifically do this particular one. Unfortunately, that interaction was not entirely positive. Overall, I would rate them a seven out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My company had an endpoint solution previously, but I was not with this company before they had Singularity Complete. They already had Singularity Complete when I got here. It was replacing the previous endpoint solution, so I cannot say whether Singularity Complete reduced our alerts or mean time to detect than the previous solution.
How was the initial setup?
I was not involved in its initial deployment. I am with the engineering team. I have deployed SentinelOne on some systems, so I know the process, but I was not involved in deploying it or rolling it out company-wide.
It is in the cloud, but we have SentinelOne agents deployed on our systems. These agents report the data back to the cloud, which gives us the ability to see all of that data.
In terms of maintenance, the team that maintains it performs agent updates. They can be pushed automatically, but our engineering team has decided to not push the updates automatically because they could potentially break something or may not be fully compatible with a current version of, for example, macOS. There is some maintenance in that regard. There is also maintenance in terms of relieving some aged SentinelOne nodes. We might remove those. I would not necessarily call it maintenance, but when we set up particular alerts, we may maintain those alerts based on our requirements at the time. It may be the vulnerability being escalated in the wild, or we might want to set up some sort of detection that can basically detect or indicate any compromise. We maintain all of those rules.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I do not know much about the pricing. What I do know is that the person who negotiates most of the pricing is quite a hard bargainer. In that regard, he often says that he managed to get a very good deal. When we first looked at replacing our old system with Singularity Complete, its price was definitely a big factor. Back then, Singularity Complete was fairly new to the marketplace. We got quite a good deal as an early adopter. They have honored that and respected that we were an early adopter, and I feel we are still getting a very good price.
What other advice do I have?
It is definitely worth considering. It is definitely up there with the best of them now. A few years ago, it probably was not. It was in the early stages, but now, it gives us everything that we need today. They invest heavily in the platform. That is important as well. If you buy it today, in a year or two, you will get a lot more features for your money.
It is quite mature now. Over the two and a half years that I have been using it, there have been numerous feature enhancements. As a basic endpoint detection response, it is very mature, and it now has other features, such as the Ranger functionality and automation, on top of it. It is a very mature offering now.
When it comes to integrations, I do not know about any tools that I have used with Singularity Complete. We just bought Wiz.io for our company, and I understand that SentinelOne links to Wiz.io. I have not personally used it, but I will be using it soon. From what I understand, it is going to be quite useful because if we detect an incident or an alert on a cloud system that Wiz.io manages and has visibility of, we can then get more information about that cloud system. For example, it could say, "We detected that this vulnerability attempt has been made, or one of the exploit attempts has been made on your system." We then get all of this information from Wiz.io which says, "Actually, the system is not vulnerable to that vulnerability." At that point, we would think that we do not need to worry as much, but we are going to see the investigations.
In terms of its ability to ingest and correlate across our security solution, we do not necessarily ingest into Singularity Complete, but we ingest Singularity Complete into our central SIEM. It is very difficult to ingest data into that SIEM.
Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete an eight out of ten.

Technical support is great. They are very responsive. For example, today, if I open a ticket, they will likely give me an answer in 24 hours.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used FireEye and Symantec. However, SentinelOne is better than them. It's more flexible and catches more threats.
How was the initial setup?
We found the initial setup to be very simple. You just click through, and you're up and running.
I'd rate it five out of five in terms of ease of deployment.
We're deploying it every month. SentinelOne sends updates every month and we action them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing is paid on a yearly basis. I can't speak to the exact pricing.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure which version number we are currently on.
If a company has a lot of people and needs to protect its many endpoints, this is a great option.
