SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

My company leverages SentinelOne Vigilance and SentinelOne Singularity Complete for managed SOC.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete, together with SentinelOne Vigilance, is an EDR tool, with capabilities such as these, which I found valuable: the dashboard that shows you all the information and the power to either manually or automatically quarantine issues or threats in the environment.

SentinelOne Vigilance is one of the feature sets of SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a whole, and my company found SentinelOne Singularity Complete a little bit easier to use and flexible; plus, it had several feature sets.

I've not been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for a long time to have a lot of feedback on its areas for improvement, as my team is still learning the tool, but what comes to mind is the need for it to give more straightforward directions or communication about detection or what has been detected.

We officially deployed SentinelOne Singularity Complete, including its feature set SentinelOne Vigilance, about three months ago.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has been very stable, so it's an eight out of ten for me, stability-wise.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a scalable solution, which is one of the reasons why my company uses it.

I found the technical support for SentinelOne Singularity Complete excellent, especially in terms of communication. Support is nine out of ten for me.

Positive

We previously used Atos as our SIEM tool and wanted to replace it with a newer technology, so we're now using SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

I'm involved in deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and I found the process straightforward. My company is still going through with the deployment because of the ninety-day deployment model.

I have people in my team assisting with SentinelOne Singularity Complete implementation.

I've seen ROI from SentinelOne Singularity Complete within a month after deploying the solution, mainly after my company started getting different alerts, which I was happy about.

I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable, which is one of the reasons my company went with it.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete requires just a little bit of maintenance, as my team has to update agents and do some finetuning, but not too much.

My rating for SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a solution is eight out of ten.

My advice to people looking into using SentinelOne Singularity Complete is to ask for sample reports and processes to understand how SentinelOne would let you do it.

The company I work with is a SentinelOne customer.

We utilize SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our EDR. The solution has replaced our previous solutions, Trend Micro and Symantec antivirus.

The Symantec agent we had before would require almost a reboot every time you would make a change, an agent update, or even sometimes in definitions. None of them were as comprehensive as SentinelOne Singularity Complete regarding threat detection and response. I don't believe any of them had any of the rollback features that are available through SentinelOne.

Overall, having more coverage and confidence in our antivirus is part of our decision to choose SentinelOne Singularity Complete. The other consideration was cost. We were going to upgrade to a more comprehensive threat protection solution either way. We were also looking at CrowdStrike then, and SentinelOne beat it by pricing while offering the protection we were looking for.

The solution's in-place upgrades have been very helpful. Another valuable feature is the ability to set policy exclusions on different scope levels, such as at the site or across all sites. Having the API access and documentation for the API is very valuable. If we needed a feature that didn't already exist in the SentinelOne console, we could cook it up ourselves and have it run whenever we wanted.

I feel like SentinelOne is very locked away from being able to be sold to smaller businesses to self-manage. We did have to jump through a lot of hoops to purchase SentinelOne and have control over it because, most of the time, you're forced to go through a reseller. In our experience, the reseller also wanted to manage it for us.

Unless it's a managed detection and response, that's not adding as much value as adding access outside of our organization that we may not necessarily want. The ability to have more direct purchasing for smaller groups and smaller businesses would be great. However, I understand if that's not part of what SentinelOne wants and is not lucrative for their bottom line.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete since June 2021.

My only issue with the solution's technical support so far is that we can only communicate via email tickets, not phone calls. However, we've still been able to resolve the majority of issues. Their response time is pretty fair. I wish there were more abilities to conduct a remote session because there are a lot of situations where I will have to get walked through some instructions.

Then I have to give feedback saying that an instruction is unavailable, or I can't do this because this device is in this situation or this mode. There may have to be three or four back-and-forth messages before we can proceed to the next step because it isn't an interactive remote session. It is just email communications with a delay every time, which adds to some frustration.

Suppose there's something that's concerning to us that we really wanted to make sure wasn't a false negative as a threat. While we were worried about it, we would just have to wait for responses and be unable to communicate with anybody.

Neutral

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's initial setup is straightforward.

We did not use an integrator, reseller, or consultant for the solution's deployment. I have had some experience with SentinelOne in the past. We just read through some of the documentation and asked a couple of questions. There was also some information on what other administrators have done to implement the solution.

That has worked well, and things have been pretty smooth sailing since the implementation. I've been pretty happy in that regard, and it wasn't a big pain to replace our existing antivirus solution. Two other guys were involved in the solution's deployment, but I was heading up the task.

We have not seen a return on investment with SentinelOne Singularity Complete because we have not used it. It has just added costs for us that we're not taking advantage of.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's pricing is not terrible. It's not enough to make us want to move away from using SentinelOne. The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it. I feel like it should be an optional add-on for people who may not be using things to integrate or may not want to integrate things.

We have used very little of SentinelOne Singularity Complete's interoperability with other solutions. It has looked like it has been nice because we have been scoping out the use of a managed detection and response and have SentinelOne Singularity Complete plugin with other solutions for log output. There hasn't really been anything we wanted to use that SentinelOne was incompatible with.

I believe SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very capable of ingesting and correlating across our security solutions. I don't think I've seen any solutions that would necessarily outperform it. It's done everything that we've needed it to. Again, we have not used it extensively.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped us consolidate our security solutions, but that's our choice. We like going into the console and seeing everything within there and the dashboards we already have access to.

I can't say that I think SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts. We would like to use SentinelOne to correlate our alerts so we're getting alerts from multiple different areas to see what matches up there. Currently, we still have an ad hoc solution where we're looking at different sources for that information because we don't have it all trusting each other yet.

Overall, for supply chain attacks, we're hesitant to give access to other products to our SentinelOne. We just don't want to put all our eggs in one basket, but that's more of a mindset problem than a functionality problem.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects. The solution's automation functionality, notifications, alerts, additions with its API, and custom tools to do what we want have helped me not to have to go in and manually check for things. For example, SentinelOne says they do not need to do static file scans other than when you first install the agent.

Our compliance requires that we still have static agent scans on a regular basis, preferably daily. You can launch those from within the console, but it's not viable for me to log in to the console daily and initiate that. Since there's no ability to schedule that in the future, that was best done with the API script that runs automatically and can give us feedback on how it went.

I believe SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organization's mean time to detect. We get some good context within there of what the threat was. Most of the time, it has pretty good notes regarding what it got flagged for if it's behavior-based, but some static file threats don't show the indicators.

We do not know what to do with some threats or understand what it is. We've been told we would need to get the SentinelOne vigilance or managed detection and response to fill that gap. We have been looking at managed detection and response but haven't put it in place yet.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organization's mean time to respond from our previous antivirus solutions. The solution gave us some more context than we had and also the ability to isolate each endpoint. If an endpoint looks scary and we don't know what it's doing exactly, we can cut off all of its internet access except SentinelOne until we feel it's a clean endpoint. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our mean time to respond by 20 minutes.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. There have been multiple things that could have potentially been an incident, and they were stopped in their tracks by the solution. For that, we've been able to demonstrate the solution's value to our leadership in terms of keeping it.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped our organization save on its costs. SentinelOne Singularity Complete isn't optional and was forced onto us from the licensing. We didn't really get a choice on whether we wanted those extra features, but we had to pay for the SentinelOne Singularity Complete add-on, which is just a blanket cost.

If it was up to us, we might not have chosen it, but it was not. We don't use many of the features, and many of the things we like are within the basic SentinelOne license.

We earlier used SentinelOne Complete, and then we used SentinelOne Complete with Singularity. There hasn't been a great improvement since we've done that. We haven't used many of its features or had any guidance on recommendations that would be helpful to put into place without having to buy anything else.

Most of the time, if we wanted to use anything in the marketplace, we would have to start paying for something we don't already have or integrate with something we aren't using.

I would say SentinelOne Singularity Complete is pretty mature, and there's a good amount of documentation of details. I would say it's much more mature right now than a year and a half ago when it was introduced. I looked into it then and said there's nothing that looks useful to us here.

Now, there are actually many more applications and things to integrate with it that we didn't have access to before. We're still not using a lot of it. As far as recommending it to somebody else or another company, I am confident that it will plug into all the major utilities and tools you may want.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete requires maintenance, but it's not bad. We need to go into the console and initiate updates for select devices when there are updates available. We need to ensure that we stay within supported and not end-of-life releases of SentinelOne. After those select devices have been tested out and we know there are not many issues with them, I will go ahead and release those to all the other devices we manage in the rolling phases.

That's not too much work. I would not classify it as maintenance, but when detection comes up while using the platform, that works well when we need to check that out. We haven't necessarily caught something that needed to be caught.

I am impressed with what they're doing both for detections for our endpoints and also for the security world at large. A while back, they headed up some of the investigations and publications about the supply chain attack for 3CX software, which was something that we had used and were impacted by. However, thanks to SentinelOne, we did not have any fallout from that attack.

Overall, I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete an eight out of ten.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

Sentinel One is being deployed as a replacement for any antivirus solution. In our case, we use it to primarily prevent ransomware and other malware from entering networks or computers, as they're deployed across the entire world now, in this new post-COVID environment.

We no longer have the luxury of the corporate firewall protecting everyone equally. This means that having SentinelOne on each box is providing a solution where we stop the badness before it can spread.

This is a cloud-based platform that we use in every capacity you can imagine. We use it on cloud components in both Azure and Amazon.

We have tested SentinelOne's static AI and behavioral AI technologies and it performs well. We actually put a laboratory together and we tested SentinelOne against CrowdStrike, Cylance, and Carbon Black side by side. We found that the only product that stopped every instance of ransomware we placed into the computers in the test lab, was SentinelOne. As part of the testing, we used a variety of actual ransomware applications that were occurring, live on people's systems at the time.

My analysts use SentinelOne's storyline feature, which observes all OS processes. They're able to utilize the storyline to determine exactly how the badness got into the network and touched the computer in the first place. That allows us to suggest improvements in network security for our clients as we protect them.

The storyline feature offers an incredible improvement in terms of response time. The deep visibility that is given to us through the storyline is incredibly helpful to get to the root cause of an infection and to create immediate countermeasures, in an IT solution manner, for the client. Instead of just telling them a security problem, we are able to use that data, analyze it, and give an IT solution to the problem.

SentinelOne has improved everybody's productivity because the design of the screens is such that it takes an analyst immediately to what they need next, to make the proper decision on the next steps needed for the client.

The most valuable feature varies from client to client but having absolute clarity of what happened and the autonomous actions of SentinelOne are what most people find the most assuring. The fact that it stops everything and lets you analyze it with great detail, including how it occurred, to improve your overall security infrastructure to prevent such an attack from occurring in the future, is really important to clients because it's almost like a security advisor or a security operation center in the tool itself.

When an event occurs, it gets stopped, and then they have a way to look into that data to find ways to improve the security of their network or what risk factors they need to tend to within the company through education or other means. For example, they may be constantly clicking on the wrong links or the wrong attachments in phishing emails.

Our people constantly use the Ranger functionality. The first thing we do is look for unprotected endpoints in the environment. This is critical because SentinelOne should be placed on everything in the environment for maximum protection. The second way we use it is if a printer or a camera or a thermostat is being used as a relay for an attack, through a weakness in that product, we are able to let them know exactly what product it is. The other advantage of Ranger is that it lets us put a block into the firewall of SentinelOne that's on every Windows computer, and we can stop the communications from the offending internet of things product to every system on the network with just a few clicks.

It's incredibly important to us that Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. If you think about it, we're in the middle of an incident response every day. We have between 60 and 80 incident responses ongoing at any time, and having the ability to deploy just one agent to do everything we need to advise clients on how to improve their security and prevent a second attack, is incredibly important. It was a game-changer when Ranger came to fruition.

Various clients, depending on their business practices, are heavily in the IoT. Some are actually the creators of IoT and as they put new products on the air for testing, we're able to help protect them from external attacks.

As a cloud-based product, there is a minimum number of licenses that need to be purchased, which is unfortunate.

I have been using SentinelOne personally, on and off, for approximately three years.

SentinelOne is very stable and the agent rarely fails. The only time I've seen an agent fail is normally on a compromised system. The fact that it even works to protect a compromised system in the first place is amazing, but that's the only time that we actually see the failure of an agent. Specifically, it can happen when there's a compromise to the box prior to loading SentinelOne.

On a pristine new load of a workstation or server where it has no compromises and no malfeasance exists, the SentinelOne agent is incredibly stable and we rarely have any issues with the agent stopping in function. I will add that in this respect, the fact that the agent cannot be uninstalled without a specific code gives us higher stability than others because even a threat actor can't remove or disable the agent in order to conduct an attack against the network. It's a unique feature.

Right now, we have 54 analysts managing approximately 300,000 endpoints at any one time, globally. We operate 24/7 using SentinelOne.

The technical support team is probably the fastest in the industry at responding, and they do care when we have to call them or send them an email due to a new issue that we've discovered. Most of the time, the problem is the operating system that we're dealing with is not regular, but they're still very helpful to us when it comes to protecting that endpoint.

I would rate their customer server a nine out of ten. I could not give anybody a ten. They are a continuous process improvement company and I'm sure that they are constantly trying to improve every aspect of customer service. That is the attitude that I perceive from that company.

Primarily in the last year, the number one solution clients had, in cases where we replaced it, was probably Sophos. Next, it was CrowdStrike, and then Malwarebytes. The primary reason that these solutions are being replaced is ransomware protection.

Almost every client that I get involved with has been involved in a ransomware case. They've all been successfully hacked and we can place it onto their boxes, clean them up, along with all of the other malware that everyone else missed, no matter who it was. SentinelOne cleans up those systems, brings them to a healthy state, and protects them while we are helping them get over their ransomware event. This gives them the peace of mind that another ransomware event will not occur.

Personally, of the EDR tools, I have worked with Cylance, Carbon Black, and CrowdStrike. I've also worked with legacy antivirus solutions, such as McAfee and Symantec. However, this tool outshines all of them. It has ease of use, provides valuable information, and protects against attack. The autonomous nature of SentinelOne combined with artificial intelligence gives us the protection we cannot experience with any other EDR tool today.

The initial setup is very straightforward. SentinelOne has incredibly helpful information on their help pages. They are probably the fastest company that I know of in the entire EDR space for responding to a client's email or phone call when you need to do something new or complex.

We have covered everything from Citrix networks to more complicated systems that work by utilizing the Amazon and Azure cloud to spin up additional resources and spin down resources. We were able to protect every one of those assets with it. The agent is easy to load and configure and the library allows us to quickly pivot on a new client and get their exclusions in fast enough to not impede business as we're protecting them.

When we were at a point of 50 clients, which is an average of 10,000 endpoints, we needed four analysts using Cylance. When we switched to SentinelOne for that same protection, the 50 clients could be covered by two analysts. We dropped our need for analysts in half.

The average cost of a security incident involving ransomware is a minimum of $50,000 USD, and this is something that SentinelOne can prevent.

The product has a rollback feature, where you can take a machine that's been attacked and partially damaged, and you can roll it back to a previously healthy state. That saves endless hours of system administrators' time rebuilding systems. That alone can reduce the cost of an incident from $50,000 down to $20,000. There is a cost because you still have to determine exposure and other factors with an incident response to determine if the threat actor has taken any data, things like that, but on the damage to the equipment, with the rollback feature and the restoration features built in the SentinelOne, and the fact that it stops everything but the most sinister lateral movements today, just means that an incident never has to occur.

This means that there is a great return on investment for a lot of companies. Another important thing to mention is that they don't lose people. Approximately 60% of businesses that are hit with a ransom attack go out of business within six months. If SentinelOne is preventing those incidents from occurring, that return on investment is worth almost the value of the entire company in some cases.

It is difficult to put an exact number on something like that, but the lack of pain and suffering of the employees of the company, because they didn't have to go through an incident response, and the lack of expense for the company to hire lawyers and professional companies to come in and help them during an incident, as well as their increased insurance costs of having an incident is also another factor.

Overall, it's difficult to judge but it's a true factor in the return on investment of owning SentinelOne and utilizing it to protect your environment.

The pricing is very reasonable. Unfortunately, because it's a cloud-based product, it has a minimum count for licensing, but other than that, I've found their pricing to be incredibly reasonable and competitive with tools that are very similar.

Considering the invaluable nature of SentinelOne's autonomous behavior, I don't believe anyone else can measure up to that. That makes it an incredible bargain when compared to the cost of an incident for any company.

There are organizations such as MITRE and ESET Labs that have been doing testing that is similar to what we did three years ago. We just look at those results for the same truth that we discovered in the beginning, and the product continues to improve its performance.

I have been a proponent of SentinelOne for many years. When I learn about somebody who has been hacked and wants to have protection against problems such as ransomware occurring, this is the one solution that I recommend.

The SentinelOne team is open to suggestions. They listen to the analysts and managers that are using their product and they innovate constantly. The improvements to the SentinelOne agent have enhanced its ability to catch everything and anything that comes in, including the detection of lateral movement attacks, which are the worst-case scenario.

When an unprotected agent penetrates the firewall and attacks a network, that unprotected asset has no protection on it so that the hacker can do whatever they want from that box with no impedance. But, the detection of it attacking from a lateral basis has been improved immensely over the last three years.

The improvement in the exclusions library has been phenomenal to help us get the new systems on the air with the new software. It allows the end-user to almost seamlessly get SentinelOne loaded and operational without impacting their business, which is incredibly helpful.

SentinelOne is working on something right now in the Ranger space that is going to allow us to remotely load endpoints that need the SentinelOne protection through the Ranger portion of the application. This is going to significantly improve the security of all of our clients, whether they be in long-term care or short-term incident response, it will help us protect them better. It's a significant improvement to our ability to protect the client.

Of all the products on the market today, I can say that they are the ones that I trust the absolute most to protect my clients.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Our primary uses are endpoint protection and application inventory.

The management is done through the SentinelOne web interface.

We work strictly in a Windows environment, using it for both workstations and servers.

At the moment, using SentinelOne brings us peace of mind. It has only highlighted a few things and generally, we've been quite lucky.

In terms of the engines that SentinelOne uses, it has stopped various scripts from running and it's highlighted lateral movement that we weren't expecting. From that perspective, it's been good.

We don't have a lot of incidents but SentinelOne has reduced our response time by a couple of hours, per incident. It does a lot more than what the previous AV products did.

The most valuable features are application auditing and malware detection.

Application inventory and auditing highlight which applications are installed on the endpoints, and whether there are any known vulnerabilities. If the endpoint is not patched then it will be reported. This helps us in terms of validating our patch management methodology.

On the malware protection, it looks like it stops all malware and detects things such as suspicious activity.

The automatic monitoring of OS processes is a good thing to have. However, I'm not totally familiar with the product in-depth. It gives peace of mind in terms of our security and it doesn't seem to have any impact from an end-user perspective.

We use the threat detection feature.

The Deep Visibility feature is something that we have used once or twice. It gives us visibility of all of the activities that took place, to determine what exactly was caused. We don't use this feature very much, purely because we don't have many things to look at. We did find some things that were suspicious, and we were able to resolve them. It highlights certain things that we weren't aware of, and then we were able to go in and understand them further. At that point, we either marked an issue as a false positive, or we denied it permission to continue. In either case, SentinelOne stopped it from proceeding. 

At the moment, my confidence is quite high with respect to the effectiveness of the distributed intelligence at the endpoint. I haven't had reason to determine if it's not working and at the moment, it seems to be doing what it says it does.

With respect to product patches, it should have the ability to patch directly from SentinelOne, rather than be presented with a list and have to do it separately. As it is now, it shows you what products require patching, but you need a separate application to install the patch. If you could initiate an update to the application from SentinelOne, that would be a nice feature. 

I have been using SentinelOne for approximately a year and a half.

Overall, the stability is very good. We have had one version where it had a high CPU usage, but the later versions were better.

We have not run into problems with scalability. It can be very good.

There are three users in the company including the IT department, helpdesk, and operations manager. At the moment, we have implemented 100% of our endpoints. Probably, as we add endpoints over time, our usage will increase slightly.

The technical support is excellent. We have only had to use them two or three times, and the response has been very fast, very detailed, and very explanatory.

Prior to SentinelOne, we used Symantec Endpoint Protection. We switched because SentinelOne offered various features such as Deep Visibility, threat analysis, and application inventory. There were a lot of features that SentinelOne had that Symantec didn't, at the time.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It was pretty much all done for us. Essentially, all we had to do was install the agent on each workstation that was upgraded.

It took about three weeks to deploy, covering all 212 of our endpoints.

We didn't have a specific implementation strategy. We somewhat phased it in, and all of the new devices would be installed with SentinelOne. As we go through the different workstations, we replace what is necessary and upgrade the agent. It was a case of going through our four different offices and because we're quite small, we did it one by one.

There is no maintenance required, post-deployment.

SentinelOne support assisted us with deployment and it was done pretty much right away. They were very good.

Once the tenant was created, they gave us an overview of how to use it. The product is quite straightforward and easy to use and. There are probably elements we could go through further with SentinelOne, but I don't know if it's because I buy through a third party. Maybe, the third party is supposed to do more, but I'm not sure.

The reseller that we purchased SentinelOne from is O2 Mobile, and the experience was fine.

Although there isn't a tangible ROI, the product gives us a lot more detail and insight into the threats, which is valuable. There has been ROI, but it's more time value rather than a hard dollar value.

The price is reasonable in terms of what the product offers. SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting.

We looked at Trend Micro before choosing this product. SentinelOne looked easier to use and it was almost a complete product. We didn't go into too much depth, and I cannot compare the detection capabilities, but the cost was a factor.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this product is to fully understand all of the elements that it provides and to be aware of all of the features. For myself, I think it's important to have a deeper and better understanding of all of the functionality that the product offers.

At the moment, we have a lot of trust in SentinelOne. If it continues to stop future threats then I will continue to rate it highly, or even perfect. At this time, I wouldn't say it's perfect because I can't say that I haven't been compromised because of it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We have been growing, but we are still a pretty small team. We have integrated it with our other software, and we are getting logs out of it. We go into threat hunting and do a deep watch. We go in there, see those logs, and make more sense of things. It has been a real help.

In terms of its deployment model, we have private companies. It is mostly on-prem, but each plant is a little bit different. Anything and everything that touches our corporate environment gets it.

For the most part, it gives us time to react by getting things off the network and getting that account locked down for a minute. We can let a member of our team take a look at it and move on from there instead of letting something fly under the radar and letting the incident take place or continue to happen. We can put the spotlight on the incident, make someone take a look at it, and then we can get going.

The integrations I have been working with work great. They do exactly as advertised, and they have been helping me with my threat hunting and seeing what is out there. There are always things lurking in the weeds that you just do not know about, so being able to have that correlation and more insights is always helpful.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. It is a small team. I am more of a one-man SOC. A lot of the incidents either come through me or someone else on the team if I am not there for vigilance, so being able to dive down and get an issue resolved quickly is helpful. I can then go back to another incident. Usually, they come in batches, so being able to go to the next one or go back to working on a major project has helped a great bit.

Singularity Complete has not helped to reduce alerts. To my knowledge, it stayed about the same. We have fewer false positives, but there are some other ones that I would rather look into. They are more on the identity side. Now that we have Singularity Identity, I am intrigued by what we will see there in terms of weird logins and other things. Now that we have the integration set up, I will get some alerts from there to go track down.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. When you get these new tools, you see everything that is wrong, and then you are like, "Oh, man," but at least we are seeing them and fixing them. In that sense, it has helped to reduce risks. I do not have the metrics, but we have been able to tackle some vulnerabilities and issues that have been big known ones.

Singularity Complete would help our organization save on its costs if we were not trying to expand so much. We are into manufacturing, and we grow a lot by mergers and acquisitions, so anywhere we can get security funding is a great point. It has helped us identify some things that we can do without. We can either reduce or eliminate those other tools and cascade down, so overall, it has reduced costs.

The Microsoft integrations are most valuable right now. One that I still have in the testing is putting user accounts into the high risk and letting our policies on that take place, and then have SentinelOne put it into network isolation as well until an incident is resolved.

There could be more integrations with more software. We have been looking at Palos and getting those put into the data lake. If there was a native integration for that, that would help a lot. They can just continue adding more integrations with these big brands and software security products. 

I have been with the company for two years, and it has been there since the time I have been there, so I can only say two years at most.

I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of stability. It is great in terms of stability and agents working as long as you do your due diligence and you do not leave it there to run just like every other product. If you leave it there with no attendance, it is going to do what it does, but if you are in there, doing your due diligence and making sure things are set, it is great. Auto updates are something I know that was implemented. That has been super helpful, so if you are doing what you need to do, it is a ten out of ten.

I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of scalability, especially because we have Ranger deployed. If we need to or if we have a merger, we can get them to put SentinelOne on a couple of devices for us and give us creds so that we can deploy to the rest from there in case they cannot get us in the SCCM or whatever else they are using.

Their support is great. Keith Fields and Mitch Milligan are always there. They have been super helpful. I knew Keith before Mitch was even part of our account. I have been working with Keith for a little bit, and he has been super insightful on different things that I did not know the tool could do or quicker ways to do things. Mitch has also been super helpful in getting us set up. 

We just bought Singularity Identity, and Keith, Mitch, and Paul have been there to give us those meetings on what we need. They really understand what our business is, and they look into our console to help us out at times as well. It has been great. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

It was already in place when I joined the organization. We run Defender as well. It is like a dual-stack. We have E5 for other reasons, and we use it because it is already there, but our team has gone for SentinelOne. We have had other people, especially the research teams, who want to use their own agent, but we are so comfortable with SentinelOne's abilities and what we have set up to keep us secure that we have looked away from those other SIEMs who want their agent. We have looked away from other software in the realm of MDR that may not work with SentinelOne. It is a staple piece for us that would be a hard buy to remove.

It works great. One thing I wish I had done more in college is hands-on with EDR agents. I went to Purdue for the cybersecurity network engineering major. They had classes and labs for forensics, but one thing we did not get too much hands-on was EDR. I believe they lived in the world of Microsoft for their operations there. Since I have been working here, Singularity Complete has been a great product. We are expanding. We have gone into these other modules and platforms, and we have always had a great experience.

It is a mature solution. It has been here longer than ten years. I graduated from college in 2021 and from high school in 2017. It has been around longer than I have known cyber practices. It is a good one. Always do your research and compare, but it is definitely a top one. I believe it is up there on the Gartner's Quadrants as well. It is up there for a reason.

We will use it more as we get more tools and integrate it. Currently, some of the things are still in beta. I am not leveraging it to its full capability because things are either in testing or we are looking at the software that is going to be connected. From what I have seen and based on the demos and how the beta is going, I have to give it a ten out of ten.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete to protect our environment against malware, unwanted programs, and ransomware.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete for better overall visibility on our endpoints. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is excellent at remediating.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is great at ingesting and correlating data across our security solutions. I have better visibility and can see how many endpoints and groups are affected and how much the problem spread in our environment. I can see the scope of the work I need to do.

I use SentinelOne Hunter for threat hunting. It can be used in two ways, SentinelOne provides a library of pre-audit queries on different vulnerabilities, topics, and groups. We can use these queries to search for specific activities in our environment. If we have our own indicators of compromise, such as those from a CISA advisory, we can use the Scraper feature to scope those IOCs to our environment and look for them.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our alerts by 25 percent.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR.

It has helped reduce our organizational risk.

I mostly use the dashboard to view infected endpoints on unresolved threats, so that I can prioritize my investigations. In incidents, SentinelOne's remediation is excellent; we can immediately see if the threat type is dynamic or static. In other words, if it has been executed. Additionally, I like the visibility that we have into machines, as we can log in and investigate them directly.

Singularity Complete's process stream has room for improvement.

I find CrowdStrike's vertical layout to be better than SentinelOne Singularity Complete's horizontal layout.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one year.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. We have only had minimal issues with the solution's performance.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable. The number of agents available on our endpoints is based on our license.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We have one engineer who maintains SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

I recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete based on each organization's business model and what it is protecting. Organizations should definitely consider this solution when evaluating other products. The remediation feature that SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers is superior to other EDR solutions and can help remediate a situation quickly.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our next-generation EDR agent to block attacks in our environment.

We had some issues at one of the companies, where they were unable to block a ransomware attack. In my opinion, the EDR agent that we were using at the time was outdated and primarily relied on identifying malware by its signature or hash. This means that it could only detect known attacks. I believe that this was the main reason why the agent failed to block the ransomware attack.

We have integrated SentinelOne Singularity Complete with Azure AD and Fortinet, and we are aiming to integrate the system with Mimecast. The integration is seamless when we log in with enough permissions we are ready to go.

Ranger provides network and asset visibility. The installed agents can scan across networks that they are in. We can also set Ranger to require a minimum number of agents on a site before scanning begins. This prevents Ranger from scanning home networks when someone is working remotely with only one agent. In the pilot program, we set the minimum number of agents to zero, so Ranger began scanning for other endpoints on the site as soon as it was installed.

Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It gives us much more insight into what is actually happening on our networks, which is what we were looking for. Additionally, the way that SentinelOne allows us to isolate protected endpoints from unprotected endpoints is very nice. It is a very easy step into a network access control solution without all the overhead of doing that. It is a very basic way to get on the same level.

At this moment, we feel that we are in full control of the stages of managed endpoints. We didn't have that feeling before, but now we know that if we don't receive an alert from the system after a while, then we can be 99.9 percent sure that nothing is wrong. When we do get an alert, we need to take action. It may be a minor or major issue, but we need to do something. Regarding new installations of agents on new endpoints, we had some initial concerns that the agent would try to block applications running on those endpoints. However this issue only occurred on 8,000 endpoints, and we were able to resolve it by setting up an exclusion for the affected application. This was minor work, but it used to take a lot of time to install new agents on new endpoints with our previous solution. Now, both IT and other departments feel confident that we are in control. This is a huge difference.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our false positive alerts. We used to receive hundreds of false positives each day until we implemented Singularity Complete, and now the false positive count is down to five per day. We also use the MDR services of SentinelOne. They are handling that for us, and we get a good insight into what actually happened. This is a huge difference.

Singularity Complete has helped free up time for our staff to work on other projects. Compared to the time we spent with the previous solution, we are now saving about 70 percent of our staff's time.

It has reduced our MTTD. It has also helped save our organizational costs. We are paying 20 percent less than our previous solution.

The user interface, ease of maintenance, and the efficient way to identify the root cause of an incident to see all the factors that contributed to it are the most valuable features.

The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents. The goal was to achieve full integration support, but this has not yet happened. The integration is incomplete.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is extremely stable. We have not had any downtime on the cloud.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable. To scale, we simply need to install agents, and the rest is taken care of by SentinelOne.

The technical support is quick to respond and provide answers.

We previously used Trend Micro but switched to SentinelOne Singularity Complete after a successful ransomware attack. We were already looking for a different solution because Trend Micro was time-consuming to maintain, difficult to extract information from, and generated a lot of false positives. We never felt in control of our security posture.

The initial deployment was straightforward. We first ran SentinelOne Singularity Complete in parallel with Trend Micro. This means that the agents can run in a monitoring policy or process, which sends us information about what the agent would block if it were in blocking mode. When we are confident that it is safe to switch to a blocking policy or policies, we can do so with a single click in the dashboard, and the agent or group of agents or all agents will start blocking. This is very easy to do, and we were able to deploy the agents to all endpoints in a matter of weeks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a fair price.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not a static platform, and new features are released all the time. This adds new value to the product on a regular basis. Compared to other systems, which can be difficult to understand, Singularity Complete is seamless and easy to use. We don't need to do anything to activate new features, and we are notified by email when they are ready to use. It is then up to us to decide whether or not to use them.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a mature solution, and our organization is booming because of it. We're not experiencing the issues that we typically encounter with new companies or solutions.

We have 800 users and Singularity Complete is deployed across multiple countries and locations.

For maintenance, we need to ensure our agents are always up to date.

We decided to start using the mobile agents because they were part of our initial purchase. We have already taken the next step and are now looking into Ranger AD. We will be looking into this next year to increase our security level. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a very easy-to-use product that provides a high level of security and is very usable for us. This is how most security solutions should work. I am very positive about SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our security partner.

I suggest doing a POC to see if SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the right fit.

We use SentinelOne as an EDR solution and for our cloud-based endpoints.

SentinelOne's data integration has made the incident response process more efficient and faster The solution has decreased our response time. SentinelOne's third-party marketplace has connectors that enable the solution to integrate with many tools. We can monitor the data Singularity generates and seamlessly export it.

I come from a larger organization. Once we fully deployed and started tuning the tool, we began to see more of its potential. I worked with the tool for almost two years. It took about a year for us to deploy it into all of our systems fully. We realized its value once we started getting alerts and information.

It hasn't reduced our alerts. The tool is pretty noisy out of the box. If anything, it has increased our alerts, but we can address that through tuning. 

SentinelOne has many capabilities out of the box. The setup process is smooth. It's easy to install on various systems and keep track of them. It did not cause any major instability.

As with any security tool, SentinelOne has slight issues with our third-party tools, but it does a good job of providing exclusions. Their support team walked us through configuring the agent to handle other third-party tools properly.

I would suggest improving the RBAC for user access. It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level. Additionally, the exclusions seem overly broad or very specific, making it hard to tune the SentinelOne agent. The solution is noisy out of the box, so you must tune it to weed out the noise and find what's useful. It's a complex process.

We have been using Singularity for almost two years now.

The agent itself does not cause any major instability, but it has caused problems with interoperability between third-party tools, which could lead to entire servers crashing or specific tools failing.

SentinelOne scales well. The tool's built-in automation for deploying the agents works well for large infrastructures like mine.

I rate SentinelOne support nine out of 10. Customer service is usually prompt with their responses. They do a great job of figuring out the problem and pointing you to generic documentation or working with you to fine-tune a solution.

Positive

I have used CrowdStrike and a tool called F5 Threat Stack. 

The initial setup was extremely easy. The total deployment took nearly a year due to the deployment processes and our large infrastructure, not SentinelOne. The maintenance includes addressing the false positives and tuning them as necessary. We also need to update the agents and the scanning engines that they use.

We handled the deployment with an in-house team of four developers and assistance from a SentinelOne team. No third party was involved.

Pricing seemed reasonable at first. However, the way SentinelOne handles its licensing did not work for our environments and led to secondary discussions around cost. They counted many of the instances and licenses as duplicates despite them only being alive once, which was frustrating.

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete seven out of 10. Singularity is a fairly mature solution, but there's still some growth to do. It's better than most competitors, but others have some features that SentinelOne lacks.
