Has a user-friendly UI, saves us time, and reduces alerts
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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 In my opinion, the EDR agent that we were using at the time was outdated and primarily relied on identifying malware by its signature or hash.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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

814,649 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is quick to respond and provide answers.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a fair price.

What other advice do I have?

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.

A great storyline feature, dashboard, and customization
Pros and Cons
  • "I really like the storyline feature."
  • "The false positive rate has room for improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for antivirus and EDR capabilities on both our hosted and internal platforms.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to harden the security of our environment.

How has it helped my organization?

Initially, we focused on our client-facing platform. We definitely wanted to ensure adequate antivirus and malware protection, and I believe we have achieved that with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Our environment is fairly large so it took us a few months to realize the benefits.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped save our staff time to focus on other projects. Our security operations team has a little bit more bandwidth now.

SentinelOne has helped us reduce our MTTD. The Storyline feature has definitely cut down on research time when investigating incidents, making the process much faster. What used to take several hours to review logs can now be completed in ten minutes.

It has helped us reduce our MTTR.

Our organization had a costly incident before we implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete. Since the implementation, we have not had any incidents, which correlate to cost savings.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

I really like the storyline feature. It makes it easier to tie together the processes and how they are related when investigating potential incidents. I also like the dashboard and the customization options.

What needs improvement?

The only integration that we are having a challenge with is our Rapid7 SIM solution. We have created exclusions for it, but sometimes there are still some false positives that the team works through.

The false positive rate has room for improvement.

We can build exclusions in a few ways, but one challenge is that many third-party applications spawn files with random names. This can make it difficult to write rules to account for these files. If there are better ways to deal with this, it would help to reduce conflicts between our Rapid7 solution and some of our other solutions that generate PowerShell scripts.

When agent updates require a reboot, this can be challenging for our large customer environments.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is stable. We have not had many stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have a large environment and find SentinelOne Singularity Complete to be scalable to meet our requirements.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support ticket for the issue we had with getting the agent installed in our PBS image took almost a year to resolve, and we ended up finding the solution on our own. We had several tickets open, but unfortunately, they didn't lead anywhere.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Cylance, which our hosting provider provided along with Endpoint Detection and Response. However, we experienced several challenges with Cylance, so we purchased SentinelOne Singularity Complete for our corporate network. SentinelOne functions and deploys significantly better than Cylance, so we asked our hosting provider to switch us to SentinelOne instead.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was straightforward for SentinelOne Singularity Complete. We had a bigger challenge installing Cylance. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a lot more functionality right out of the gate.

I recommend considering SentinelOne Singularity Complete for anyone researching security solutions.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is deployed on our corporate and hosted endpoints. We have between 5,000 and 9,000 endpoints.

We have six people that monitor SentinelOne Singularity Complete. 

Our agent updates require maintenance and close monitoring. We sometimes have to manually enable policies that are disabled due to the disruption caused by unexpected reboots. We must carefully plan these updates.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a good strategic security partner.

I would definitely recommend doing a POC to see if SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a good fit for the environment.

Provides deep visibility and has competitive pricing, but should support Terraform and dynamic tagging
Pros and Cons
  • "The deep visibility and the ability to perform security investigations and assess our endpoint security posture are the most valuable features."
  • "There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful."

What is our primary use case?

We use it as an Enterprise EDR solution for threat detection, anti-malware, and security investigations.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has greatly enhanced our security posture. We feel that our endpoints are more secure. We are in the know of what is happening within our company from a security perspective. We are confident in the ability to detect untrue positives. It has also helped us in achieving industry certifications such as SOC 2.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has absolutely helped reduce our organization's mean time to detect. There has also been an impact on our mean time to respond. With the integrations that we have set up with Splunk and other products, we are able to respond to incidents as soon as they alert us.

We have a couple of integrations with it. They are alright. I am not blown away by its integration capability.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped reduce alerts. If anything, we create more alerts with it. We are able to fine-tune the product to reduce noise and alerts, but without it, we would not have any alerts. It is the piece of software that provides that alerting capability for us.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped free up staff. In a way, it creates work for us, but that is the purpose of the product.

What is most valuable?

The deep visibility and the ability to perform security investigations and assess our endpoint security posture are the most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful. 

The auto-upgrade capability should be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years at this company. My company has been using it longer than that.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is pretty good. I like the stability of their agent.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is extremely scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Their technical support is pretty good. I would rate them an eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I was not here when they bought this solution, but I know why we bought the tool. We replaced another EDR solution, and then we used it as our enterprise EDR solution for ransomware prevention, threat hunting, and security investigations. We were using CrowdStrike previously. SentinelOne Singularity Complete also saved us money. It is very competitive compared to CrowdStrike.

I have used a couple of EDR solutions. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is less mature than CrowdStrike, but it is definitely one of the top players in the industry.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has not helped reduce our organizational risk. It is about the same as CrowdStrike in this aspect.

How was the initial setup?

We have it on our laptops and the cloud, so our setup is hybrid. I am in charge of deployment, and it is as simple or complex as any other solution. 

It requires maintenance on our end.

What about the implementation team?

We have a team, but I do most of the work. I am in charge of it.

What was our ROI?

It is hard to define the ROI. It does not save us money, but it prevents security breaches. In the grand scheme of things, it is definitely worth investing in. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Its pricing is competitive. 

What other advice do I have?

It has competitive pricing and great support. It is a complete solution.

As a strategic security partner, they collaborate with us quite a bit on our overall posture. They constantly have webinars and education sessions for us to deepen our security knowledge and how to use their product. They have assisted us on various PoCs for different offerings that they have and different services they offer. They help us to understand how each of those components integrates into our overall security posture. We did a PoC of the Ranger functionality.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a seven out of ten.

Good range and functionality with increased visibility of threats
Pros and Cons
  • "Its ability to interact with other third-party tools has been great for us. It can work through APIs and partners and integrate well."
  • "The MDM functionality and maturity still need improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We deploy and manage the product for hundreds of clients.

How has it helped my organization?

We are a large global insurance company and we're trying to help proactively find a way for clients not to get breached by ransomware. This product is part of the way we do that.

What is most valuable?

The range and functionality are great.

The remote script orientation is good. 

The level of vigilance is impressive.

Its ability to interact with other third-party tools has been great for us. It can work through APIs and partners and integrate well.  

The solution's ability to ingest and correlate across other security solutions is helpful. It's been very important in terms of how we will move forward with the product. We're in the process of consolidating security solutions right now. Hopefully, it will help us reduce the use of some tool sets. It's helped us automate more and correlate better by bringing in data sets from different areas or systems so that we get a sense of threats. That's been really critical.

It provides increased visibility through Ranger. We don't need new agents or hardware. The ability to look for and find new devices that come onto the network helps us protect more efficiently.

It's been a great product in a couple of ways from my analysis of working on it. They have a great user interface, for example. It's easy to install and easy to support. It's allowing integration from all the different parts of our business and data points. Then there is the breadth of services that are tied into it. The support infrastructure overall has been great. 

Singularity can correlate with other data and it helps us put an automated lens around everything to reduce the amount of alerts we'll get.

We can scale with the solution and not have to scale more analysts. It helps us be more efficient.

It has already helped reduce the mean time to detect. The mean time to respond has been okay.

It's also helped us save costs. We're able to deploy a standardized solution that's really well-defined and offers very good training. The ability to scale has been wonderful and it's helped reduce the overall cost of the service we provide. 

Singularity helps us reduce organizational risk from a customer perspective. 

What needs improvement?

I'm able to have my analyst view everything from one console, and we have multiple boxes with them, and we have to log into separate consoles to access each of those one boxes. We really need a more centralized view of all of our environments. 

The MDM functionality and maturity still need improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years. 

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted technical support in the past. They've been very responsive and helped us drive problems to completion. We've had no issues there.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using Carbon Black previously. Singularity has been much better about mean time to detect. It's likely 15% to 20% better by comparison. 

Carbon Black also didn't operate from a place of integrity.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the initial setup and found it to be straightforward. I cannot really how long it took to fully deploy.

What about the implementation team?

We handed the setup internally.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is great. I don't have any issues with it.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Good scanning and protection but needs to have a faster setup process
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to set up."
  • "The solution can use up a lot of resources when scanning. It would be ideal if it was lighter."

What is our primary use case?

We outsourced the operation to a partner, a supplier, and they have managed those services. If the product does identify some abnormal behavior, our supplier is informed, and our main IT division or group IT division is informed. They correct the machine, and they do whatever they need to do.

What is most valuable?

Nowadays, there is a lot of malware and various other malicious threats. Our system is an internal system. There might be a firewall there, however, malware can still get through an email. However, this solution is very good at detecting abnormal behavior. They act very fast and quarantine machines well. 

We find that having an endpoint protection solution allows us to adapt and react faster. 

I can put something on my pen drive and get the solution to scan it and see if there are any issues. They can identify and block without affecting any core sections. 

The solution is easy to set up.

It's stable.

What needs improvement?

The solution works quite well and I don't have many notes for improvement. 

The solution can use up a lot of resources when scanning. It would be ideal if it was lighter. 

We find the initial setup does take some time, as you have to do a lot of whitelisting. We'd like the process to be faster. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a while. It's been more than two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is pretty stable. I'd rate it seven out of ten. It's pretty reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

You can scale the solution. However, you do have to pay more to expand as you need to purchase more licenses. At this point, we get additional blocks of licenses when we need them. We do not upgrade one license at a time. 

We have about 5,000 clients on the solution currently.

How are customer service and support?

I do not have much experience with technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We also have Microsoft Defender. They are two different products. We use Defender on our machines and workstations, however, not for endpoint security reasons. 

How was the initial setup?

IT installed the solution on my machine. 

That said, my understanding is the initial setup is not overly complex. At first, however, we had to do some whitelisting. You need to perform a few operations, and we had to reinstall the OS, install a backup, and handle whitelisting. While it takes time, it's not hard. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not sure of the exact pricing of the solution. That's handled by a different team.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have an IT department that may look at other options, depending on the use case. They've looked at, for example, Sophos, however, they found SentinelOne to be more suitable for us. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm an end-user and not very technical.

While the solution is cloud-based, there's an on-prem server, and that is for the administration of our nodes. Mainly, the subscription is controlled by the cloud.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Depending on the use case and if it makes sense for the company, I'd recommend the product.

Helps free up time, save costs, and reduce organizational risk
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the STAR Rules."
  • "While our current remote access to SentinelOne Singularity Complete is achieved through publishing, having a direct GUI interface would be a significant advantage for our user and administrator team."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete for EDR. It is a one-click recovery.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out for its ability to collect logs from any security tool we have, bringing together all our data onto a single, unified console.

The Ranger functionality helps identify vulnerabilities in our environment.

Singularity Complete is a complete security solution that goes beyond just alerts. It provides a dashboard that displays all configured security alerts, including lateral movement, consumer attacks, and any other relevant events, on a single console for easy monitoring and response.

Singularity Complete helps free up our time and has reduced the mean time to detection.

It also helps reduce the mean time to remediation and helps cut our client's costs by 75 percent.

Singularity Complete helps reduce organizational risk and improve compliance.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the STAR Rules.

What needs improvement?

While our current remote access to SentinelOne Singularity Complete is achieved through publishing, having a direct GUI interface would be a significant advantage for our user and administrator team. This console access would provide a more intuitive and efficient way to manage the platform.

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?

I would rate the stability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is excellent.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out in the EDR market by offering a unique million-dollar guarantee, demonstrating their confidence in the product's ability to effectively protect our systems. This financial backing signifies a strong belief in its performance, something no other EDR vendor currently offers.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a zero-maintenance product. It's supported by their management defense research team which is working on the console update as well as the automation of the agent-client updates.

I would recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

Improves our visibility and response across multiple platforms in our enterprise network
Pros and Cons
  • "The visibility and, obviously, the protection aspects are second to none when it comes to speed. Another thing we fall back on is the option to roll back an endpoint if it is infected. There is a shadow copy so that if a PC downloads malicious content, we can roll it back to the state it was in before that package was imported."
  • "Their documentation could afford to be a little bit better communicated. A lot of times we have to look at things in the knowledge base, and much of that could be communicated better, but that would probably be the only thing that needs to be improved."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case would be for active XDR protection. We wanted an innovative XDR to keep up with the rising dangers of malware, ransomware, et cetera.

How has it helped my organization?

Our visibility and response to a lot of the things that come with an enterprise network have improved. We have users doing multiple things across different platforms. There are applications, servers, endpoints, and certain things that fit in the wild, and it does a really good job protecting all of them.

It has saved time for my team because of what we can do in terms of device control that it provides externally. We have total control.

When it comes to detection, we have email alerts when a threat comes across, so it's pretty quick. And if we have predefined responses to certain threats, then obviously, our response is instantaneous. But in a lot of cases, we like to have our administrators take a look at it and make sure it gets remediated as quickly as possible.

As for security, SentinelOne Singularity puts us in a better place than most solutions. We can look at platform reviews that keep us in the loop regarding what's not considered a good solution.

What is most valuable?

The visibility and, obviously, the protection aspects are second to none when it comes to speed. Another thing we fall back on is the option to roll back an endpoint if it is infected. There is a shadow copy so that if a PC downloads malicious content, we can roll it back to the state it was in before that package was imported.

It also has a lot of flexibility with its ability to ingest things.

And the AI feature of the solution is prompt in how it learns a certain network and how it responds to certain things. If you do come across false positives, it's relatively easy to get around them.

What needs improvement?

There are some obstacles you have to overcome when it comes to whitelisting and the like, but that's true of every XDR platform.

Their documentation could afford to be a little bit better communicated. A lot of times we have to look at things in the knowledge base, and much of that could be communicated better, but that would probably be the only thing that needs to be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would give it an A-plus in stability. A lot of times, when you download a new endpoint protection agent or an AV agent, you might run into a lot of compatibility issues or programs kind of freezing up.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would give it an A-plus for scalability as well.

How are customer service and support?

Our experience with their technical support has been straightforward and good. We got good, timely responses.

As a strategic partner, they're "the new guy on the block." There is some talk of them being bought out. I have heard some rumors like that. But from what I've seen, SentinelOne is just as good as, or better than, any other security partner out there.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did use an endpoint protection platform, but I can't comment on which one we used.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the whole process of deployment. One thing that wasn't SentinelOne's forte was compatibility with a script for an on-premises software distribution tool. Most of what we did was homegrown to deploy the agents to the machines.

What about the implementation team?

We did it in-house. There were a handful of us involved, probably 10 at least.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't deal with the cost side of things, but the licensing, as far as endpoints go, is a pretty straightforward and simple process.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at a couple of other solutions but, again, I can't disclose more about those.

What other advice do I have?

The speed and user friendliness that this platform offers break down some complex aspects of the security industry, and the solution lays them out in a way that a general user can understand.

Definitely compare and contrast Singularity with other solutions. It depends on what fits best for you, what industry you're in, how mobile your network is.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Interoperable, saves time and reduces alerts
Pros and Cons
  • "It has helped to reduce our organizational risks."
  • "Using the filters takes a little bit of time to get to used to."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for antivirus protection. We do know it does more, however, we're trying to just get the antivirus program up and working and functioning at this point.

How has it helped my organization?

It's allowed us to really cover all of our endpoints, including servers, Macs, and services. We're hoping to do a kiosk mode in some of these services for our labs and facilities, and we're hoping that SentinelOne can actually do that. We're going to work with them to make sure we can get that rolled out.

What is most valuable?

The fact that they have a lot of search features is very helpful. We can go into their filters and we can filter out by specific computer name, for example. We can specify if we want Macs or we want Windows computers, or if we want just laptops, or desktops. There's just a lot of versatility as to how we can look up the devices and really drill down.

The interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and other third-party tools is good. For other third-party tools, I've used other antivirus software that doesn't have this type of interface. This gives you a lot more latitude to control the computer to basically push out updates and monitor what's going on with the endpoints immediately. It really helps with everything that you need to be on top of quickly, and it really helps that we can monitor everything in real-time.

It integrates smoothly with other solutions. We were able to push out the software and the agent to all the endpoints rather easily. There were only a few stragglers who just weren't physically on and weren't getting the endpoint, however, the rollout went pretty smoothly. The few endpoints not covered were ones that weren't turned on or not in use.

My impressions of the solution's ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions are positive. It works really well. 

We like the fact that we actually have a dedicated person at SentinelOne that we can talk with and work with.

It's helped to reduce alerts. The alerts have really gone down. We've actually had a lot of good coverage. There really haven't been that many alerts or issues. They've actually caught a lot of issues and threats before it's even been a problem. It's really helped cut down on the amount of work that we have to do on our end for troubleshooting and the prevention of viruses or phishing attempts.

This solution helped us to free up the time for other projects and tasks for your team members. We just rolled out a new software program, and it allowed us to focus on that more rather than having to deal with virus alerts that come through from our previous virus program. They've really managed it for us and really helped us find more time to work on the projects that we really need to focus on to advance our business rather than worry about threats that are coming through. It's been quite a time saver. 

It helped to reduce our organization's mean time to detect. It's got a much nicer interface to work with, and it's really helped to have them as a working partner rather than our previous vendor which was just a little harder to get a hold of and not as easy to work with.

The mean time to respond is much quicker than what we did have. 

It has helped to reduce our organizational risks. We save a lot of hours by not having to deal with all the alerts and managing them. It has saved us many hours of work and really helped us focus on what we really are there to do rather than working on the threats that come our way.

The solution does allow us to be innovative. The product has a nice interface and is quite robust in comparison. We like the options and availability and how it allowed us to manage our endpoints.

What needs improvement?

Using the filters takes a little bit of time to get used to. There are so many. You have to scroll from side to side in the filter section to find them. It's not very user-friendly. 

Some of the options they have up top are a bit much. It is a bit daunting. It minimizes, and then you have to click on select filters for it to completely open, and then you've got a scroll to the right or scroll to the left. Even if you maximize your screen from left to right, there are still more filters to scroll through. They're not well laid out.

I haven't used the reporting feature much, however, having a little bit more options in reporting would be helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using the solution about six months ago. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have about 400 endpoints. They are all deployed in one location.

It is a scalable product. If we need to add more endpoints, we can. That said, we have yet to scale. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support has been really good. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We had a current vendor called Carbon Black who did our antivirus software, however, it wasn't it wasn't working as well as we would have liked. So we went with SentinelOne to give us a more complete solution.

There is just a lot of functionality on the end of SentinelOne that we just didn't have with Carbon Black, and it just made a lot more sense to go with this. Even though it was priced a little bit more.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in the deployment of the solution. The process was very simple. SentinelOne took care of most of it for us. 

SentinelOne pushed out the agent for us. 

We did not need a lot of resources in terms of staff members. We were involved in the planning yet not too much of the implementation. We're still working on covering the last few machines. 

There is some maintenance, however, they are mostly updates and those are pushed out by SentinelOne. 

What about the implementation team?

We had a representative from the vendor who helped with the deployment. 

What was our ROI?

I can't speak to the exact numbers in terms of ROI. However, other programs do not have as much support and in that sense, support, along with savings, has provided some form of ROI. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My understanding is the pricing is reasonable. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated other options as well. We looked at Norton, McAfee, and Avast, which were built-in. We went with this product based on the support we would get and the fact that they were personable and easy to work with. We have a dedicated customer service rep that we can talk with about any issues.

What other advice do I have?

We do not use the Ranger feature at this time. We would need to upgrade if we wanted to use that, apparently. So we just decided not to go with that.

The quality is good. I like the way it works and the amount of options it has. However, it has so many options and functionalities you need to really figure out how it works. It takes care of a lot of things for you. You can just set it and forget it. 

They are great as a strategic security partner. They worked closely with us and were good at explaining the layout and how the solution would work. They are very helpful.

I'd recommend the solution for users looking for antivirus or endpoint management. It's got great features for both small and large companies. I'd talk with SentinelOne about a company's individual needs. They are quite flexible.  

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
