SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

Using SentinelOne isn't part of my daily tasks. My team only uses it when there's a detection, so the tool is only kept as a screenshot or wallpaper and is only used when there's an alert. It doesn't give us many alerts anyway.

My company uses SentinelOne for EDR purposes for alerts, detections, and patch deployment. For example, some clients ask my team to patch multiple devices and apply policies to the devices, so my team updates policies, applies patches, and updates machines per Windows and Mac updates.

My company also uses SentinelOne for EDR detections and investigations, including forensic purposes.

The most valuable feature of SentinelOne is the good graph it provides. It has a specific page where it detects the recent attacks on other machines or the hackers, for example, group APT28 and all. It shows the active group or predators in the market, the tactics the group uses, and the recent attacks the group performed.

My company even asked a particular client to onboard devices on SentinelOne because it's easier to graph the alerts. The tool can provide you with a better graph that shows when the alert started, the process, the challenges, and the parameters of the processes.

SentinelOne also has a knowledge base embedded in it. You have to visit the page to get the details.

I also like that you can see the activities performed for the alerts received from your end. You have a bunch of people working on SentinelOne, and you don't have to worry about not knowing who received and resolved the alerts because you can get information on the activities on the tool. You can view the actions on the alerts and who has taken action. This is a valuable feature of SentinelOne that's not usually provided on the other EDRs because it's unrelated to the investigations. I can see who recently closed or resolved a particular alert on SentinelOne because the name of the person who took action will appear on the activity page.

Another feature I like a lot about SentinelOne that I can't find in other EDR solutions is the AI segregation and categorization of events. You'll be directed to the logon events category if you're looking into logon-related events. If you're looking into network-related events, you'll be directed to another category, the appropriate one. Based on your search, the SentinelOne AI will segregate the results into categories. You can click on the category and view the categories related to your events. The segregated results then make it easier to do the investigations.

An area for improvement in SentinelOne is the search feature. It could be easier. For example, you can select the number of results that will be shown to you, such as two thousand events, and you can even go up to twenty thousand events for the search you've made, but you can't go beyond twenty thousand. You can only receive up to twenty thousand if you find login-related, detection-related, or process creation-related events. That's the limitation in the search feature of SentinelOne, which ruins the task because it isn't enough when you're doing your investigation.

The retention period of the tool also has room for improvement. The retention period is a time when you can patch up the logs, even older ones. Still, on SentinelOne, the retention period is only one week or one week up to twenty-eight days, and that period is insufficient, especially for a security breach. If a security breach occurs within the company, it could be six months to a year, so if you want to view the logs, you cannot go beyond the limit set by SentinelOne.

The retention period of the tool is way less than what other EDR solutions provide. SentinelOne and CrowdStrike come with a shorter retention period, which means you cannot go beyond one month when investigating the logs.

One month is the timeframe of the retention period, and one week is real-time, as scheduled by the vendor. For forensics purposes, the retention period is critical, so what would make SentinelOne better is a more extended retention period that lets you investigate logs. If you want to patch logs, you can directly call or reach out to the vendor who can provide you with the logs. If the vendor has no logs, you won't get the initial alert when the incident starts.

What I want to see from SentinelOne in its next release is a faster search. I also wish that the twenty thousand event limitation be removed.

I've been using SentinelOne for nine to ten months now.

SentinelOne is a stable tool that never crashes. It's a good product.

Its stability is nine out of ten because, at times, the tool lacks robustness when searching. For example, if I want to search, it can take some time based on my ability to search. Searching on SentinelOne can be much faster because, search-wise, it could be a little laggy.

The scalability of SentinelOne is much better than other tools, so it's a ten for me, scalability-wise.

I haven't contacted the technical support for SentinelOne, but many of my colleagues had experience getting SentinelOne support. One case was about the retention period because a client had been compromised and needed more logs from SentinelOne, but the support team couldn't provide more logs as the retention period was too short.

My company chose SentinelOne over other solutions because it's powerful in the areas of detection, flagging for alerts, and logs. The alert creation is stronger in SentinelOne, so my company went with this tool.

The initial setup for SentinelOne was easy, and I manually performed it. It's easy to deploy a device onto SentinelOne. You have to run the agent, and the application, then the tool will be onboarded. It's that easy.

The deployment of SentinelOne hardly took me half an hour. Once you've learned how and executed the agent file on the machine, you'll start getting the logs. You'll test, configure, and collect the right resources and receive the logs.

I implemented SentinelOne, so it's in-house.

As a developer, I have no information on the pricing of SentinelOne.

I'm using SentinelOne, the EDR solution.

SentinelOne is deployed on the cloud, probably the public cloud, though I wonder if it's private or public. It's on the cloud because it has many more features and doesn't use up many resources even when there's a high workload, and as a tool, SentinelOne performs very well. It may be on AWS or Azure, though.

Within the company, twenty people personally use SentinelOne daily.

My company is a partner of SentinelOne, so my team recommends it to clients, especially if clients require more detection and easy onboarding.

I'd tell anyone looking into implementing the tool that it's fun to learn and use. You can use it without needing many clicks to isolate the machine or perform your required activities. One of the best features of SentinelOne is that it has minimal mouse actions. For example, when you click on a machine, you'll get the hyperlink that shows you the machine details, the uptime, when it was first and last seen, the memory, and all the machine details. You get the details in one location, such as the applications installed on the machine, the network-related configurations of the machine, and the machine processes. You won't get as many features from other EDR solutions. You can isolate the machine, repair and update the machine, update the knowledge base and software, and onboard a particular device on SentinelOne. The tool has many more features. It's a good tool.

My rating for SentinelOne is nine out of ten. Still, if the twenty-thousand event limitation is removed, then that's the time I'd give the tool a score of ten because if there's no limit set, then you can get all process details related to your investigation.

The primary use case is as an endpoint detection and response software. Basically, it is an enhanced antivirus, anti-malware, and anti-ransomware solution. It protects from ransomware attacks and other types of cyber attacks. It protects the endpoint from malicious actions.

Protection from cyber attacks is the feature we find the most valuable.

It's a stable product.

We find the solution to be scalable.

Technical support is good. 

The pricing is not too high.

It has a pretty simple user interface and is user-friendly.

They need to improve how we install the software. For the agent of SentinelOne in the endpoint, it's not an automated process. We have to download it and then upload it on the endpoint. That is something that can be made simple. The uploading of the software in the endpoint, if that can be done publicly, would be great. The setup should be available publicly. The agent installation should all be done in the cloud.

I've been using the solution for more than a year.

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution scales well. You can expand it as needed. 

We are a small organization and have around 200 to 250 people on the solution. 

The management is outsourced, and I find they are doing a very good job. We are satisfied with how we are able to get help if we need it. 

This is the first EDR solution we used. We did not have another solution in place beforehand. We only used basic antivirus software previously.

The initial setup is annoying since you have to download the agent and then upload it to the endpoint. 

For maintenance, basically, I'm the admin for SentinelOne. Also, there is a different organization altogether to whom we have outsourced the management of SentinelOne. They have their own employees. Their particular team would be working for our organization. They are an SoC organization, and they work 24/7 for various clients. We are one of their clients.

The pricing is reasonable. 

I'm not sure of the exact costs, as those are managed by a different team.

I'm a client and end-user. 

The solution is pretty easy to implement and administrate. We have not tried to integrate it with other solutions. While the pricing is reasonable, it's a bit more than typical antivirus software. That said, it has advanced functionalities that make the price worthwhile. Therefore, I would rate it nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for security purposes. 

It's an easy tool and it offers a different experience. It is a new generation product.

The initial setup was easy.

It's stable and reliable.

The product can scale as needed.

While I'm sure improvements are necessary, there isn't one specific area I've found to be lacking. 

Security could always be better. It always needs to be adjusted to keep up with what's happening. 

I've been using the solution for two years. 

We haven't had any issues with stability. It's reliable. there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's scalable. We are using management software on the cloud. Therefore, if we want to install 1,000 agents, it doesn't impact our business now. We can scale and it's got a central implementation method for agents.

Technical support has been very good and we are quite pleased with them. 

Positive

We actually use regular antivirus solutions as well, such as Sophos and McAfee.

It's a simple, straightforward setup. It is not overly complex or difficult. 

We have a small IT team and have found that we just need to have one person managing the product. 

We deployed it using an outside resource.

I cannot speak to the exact cost. Our managers buy the licenses. That said, it is my understanding that we are using the subscription model and pay for it yearly. I'm not sure if there are any other ancillary fees beyond that.

I'm a customer and end-user. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a good overall product. 

We are an MSP supporting various business verticals (including medical and pharmaceutical). Our core monitoring/deployment solution is SolarWinds RMM, through which we were recently introduced to SentinalOne. We use the bundled automation to install, patch, and monitor antimalware protection to endpoints. We are in the process of replacing Bitdefender with SentinalOne for several clients. 

Deployment is automatable through the RMM, though a little clunky to do. The provided automation was a little challenging, but once you get it configured it's quite effective. Once we got it deployed to our users, it operates seamlessly and with minimal impact on system resources. Even our clients with lower-end workstations report improved performance since switching from Bitdefender. 

After migrating, this also picked up some latent malware that was not previously detected & cleaned it immediately with almost no interaction required. I was impressed with how little this bogged down the affected system. This was in our pilot run, so I was on-site.

The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen. It has the ability to rollback a ransomware infection instantly and with minimal disruption to the user & provides robust reporting. 

I tested this by deliberately infecting an unpatched test machine with WanaCry. First of all, SentinalOne blocked the initial infection attempt. I had to put S1 into "notify only" mode on that system to actually infect the machine. Once infected, WanaCry did what it does... encrypted all the documents I had copied to the test machine and put up the background. 

We immediately got a notification on our dashboard that a system was infected. At the same time, we got a popup on the client machine notifying us of the infection, with the option to auto-repair the damage. It took less than a minute (granted, we only had about 200 MB of files on the test system) for S1 to repair the damage and put the machine back to normal with no evidence of the infection.

You also can't remove the client from the local machine without approving it within the dashboard. This is a nice feature to prevent tampering by either hapless users or even skilled threat actors. 

Set up is very labor-intensive. You have to provide multiple codes from multiple places within the S1 dashboard in order to use the provided automation, and it's different for each client (or "sites" as they call it). It very much feels like an enterprise application that has been adapted for SMBs, but not very thoroughly. It would be better if they had a "site package" similar to the one offered by SolarWinds for the RMM. You just run the package on the client machine and done. 

The stability is excellent so far. Once installed, it's "set it and forget it."

Scalability is great if you're scaling up, but scaling down may prove to be challenging.

Technical support is provided for us through SolarWinds, and they're very knowledgable.

We used Bitdefender (also through SolarWinds) previously. SentinalOne was pitched by SolarWinds a few months ago as an alternative with robust ransomware protection. Being a small MSP, a single ransomware infection at a client could spell disaster for our business. We are always looking for the latest technology, but not marginal improvements. 

The setup script provided by SolarWinds (proprietary to their RMM) was a little challenging to get going, but once it worked, it worked perfectly. Except it didn't run on Win7 systems because it uses Powershell commands from a later version than what's available on Win7.

The vendor team provided support, but we did the deployment.

We're making about seventy-five percent over the per-seat cost, and it's easy to sell at that price point.

The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year.

We really hadn't seen EDR solutions in action before. Our decision was based primarily on the fact that it has SolarWinds integration. 

Definitely worth the money compared to heuristic solutions, especially for clients who tend to "stretch" their hardware as long as possible. The low impact and robust reporting go a long way to make this an easy sell, and the cost is excellent for the price point. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is primarily used for endpoint protection and integrating vulnerability reports from assessments. It also provides device control, exclusion management, and block listing capabilities. 

Our clientele represents a diverse range of industries, including insurance and manufacturing.

Singularity offers complete interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and third-party tools, and our clients have reported no issues.

The Ranger functionality provides network and asset visibility, allowing identification of installed and uninstalled assets within the environment. This capability contributes to maintaining a clean and organized environment.

It can prevent unauthorized access and use of USB drives, a common source of malware. Personal USB drives can carry malicious software that infects an entire network. Therefore, SentinelOne Singularity Complete plays a crucial role in protecting organizations from these external threats.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete enables in-depth root cause analysis and the ability to add exclusions as needed, effectively minimizing alert volume.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps users save approximately one-third of their time, allowing them to focus on other tasks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps reduce our mean time to detect and helps reduce our mean time to respond by 25 percent.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps reduce environmental risk by identifying vulnerabilities.

The visibility feature is crucial for effective detection analysis. The user-friendly console ensures ease of use and learning, even for beginners. Furthermore, the tool's capacity to consolidate various security solutions and perform risk correlation analysis enhances its value.

The primary issue is the console's random automatic logouts, requiring users to repeatedly re-enter their username and password. This problem needs to be addressed.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about six months.

The system has experienced interoperability challenges and high resource utilization, particularly with CPU and RAM.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is highly scalable.

The response time of customer service could be improved.

Neutral

The initial setup involves configuration policy setup and deploying the agent, which is straightforward if done through tools like SCCM.

Deployment can be managed by one person when using SCCM or similar tools.

The manual effort used for tasks like remediation has been reduced, contributing to ROI.

While SentinelOne Singularity Complete carries a higher price tag than some endpoint security solutions, customers find its robust features and return on investment justify the cost. However, it remains a more budget-friendly option compared to CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike is a comparable endpoint integration solution. SentinelOne is priced higher than CrowdStrike.

SentinelOne's console offers a more user-friendly experience compared to CrowdStrike and Trend Micro One, making it particularly well-suited for beginners.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

We have many endpoints in multiple locations.

Maintenance is only required if an agent is disabled or cannot connect to the controller; otherwise, no manual intervention is needed.

As a security partner, SentinelOne is on par with CrowdStrike and has strong potential to become a leader in its field.

I recommend SentinelOne for its ease of use and management, especially for new customers. The user-friendly console and straightforward deployment process facilitate a quick learning curve. Furthermore, its cloud-based architecture minimizes the burden of updates.

We use the solution for endpoint threat detection. 

The tool has helped us streamline and centralize things with a single solution. We are a small organization with a handful of people managing multiple sites. It is a simple tool with an easy-to-use UI. The product has an intuitive and up-to-date GUI. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's most valuable feature is reporting. People with less technical knowledge can understand the things happening. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end. 

I have been using the product for a year. 

I have not used support yet, which is a good thing. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete tries to go above and beyond to integrate with different vendors, which is good. It is very nice to pick a different vendor for my needs and pull in all the information I need. It is very beneficial to have a single point of activation. 

As with any tool, figuring it out has a learning curve. However, getting the information easily and quickly from the same tool is nice. It is also nice to login to a single platform instead of multiple ones, which was the case in my previous company.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete does a good job of reducing alerts. We run attack tests against our network. We can create a real-world scenario. 

The product has reduced our organizational risk. Any tool designed around security mitigates risk. 

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has centralized things and helped us save costs. It makes getting information in and out of the system easier for a small group of people. 

I like everything that the product has done as a strategic security partner. They are willing to work with other companies and are not afraid of being groundbreaking. They are working on AI. 

I rate it an eight out of ten. 

The primary use case of the solution is cybersecurity. The solution provides endpoint protection against direct threats and insider threats.

The most valuable features are Deep Visibility, Remote Script Orchestration, and Ranger.

The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities. I would like to see an interface where I can in one view change the security posture of all groups with one click. I would like to have a listing of all the groups and then apply what's relevant to all the groups at once.

I have been using the solution for one year.

The solution is extremely stable.

The solution is scalable.

The tech support is brilliant.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about four weeks to deploy.

The implementation was done in-house.

The ROI is good. Once you go through the stabilization phase and get to know and understand the customer's environment and configure accordingly to what the customer needs, the return is there immediately.

The license is paid annually and is competitive. There are features that are not included in the licensing cost but it does include Vigilance and STAR.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

On average, once the implementation phase is complete the solution only requires two people to maintain it.

SentinelOne is an antivirus and an EDR platform. We are using is simply for its antivirus and EDR features.

The solution is overall very good in terms of protecting endpoints and servers from malicious activities, malware, cyber attacks, viruses, worms, and so on. It offers really good security.

The initial setup is easy.

We have been happy with the stability.

It is possible to scale the product.

There is good documentation available, and support works to help users resolve issues.

It doesn't have application control capability. Other antivirus or EDR solutions have that. I would be happy if SentinelOne added that to their platform. This is the first point.

The second point is SentinelOne should provide support for legacy open-source operating systems. For example, old versions of Oracle are not supported by SentinelOne.

The third point is that SentinelOne does not support a few platforms, including IBM AIX and UNIX-based OS. These three platforms are almost all used in all enterprises, and SentinelOne does not support them. If SentinelOne provides agents for these missing platforms, it'll be very good.

It would be ideal if they offered video support for troubleshooting issues.

I've been dealing with the solution for just over one year.

The solution is stable and reliable. We have been happy with its performance. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

I'd give it a four out of five in terms of stability.

The scalability has been very good.

There are thousands of both users and servers. Everyone uses it.

I have raised a lot of tickets, and their support is very good. However, with other members, when we have raised tickets in the past, we were able to have technical sessions through Zoom, WebEx, or Teams very easily. That's true, for example, with Microsoft, Cisco, McAfee, and Kaspersky. With SentinelOne, they are providing very good support, excellent support, however, their engineers are not very interested in providing online sessions, which is more convenient.

When you face any issue, they always provide documentation and videos - and that's very good. However, sometimes it's required that they show us how something is done. Doing some sort of video call helps with the walk-through. SentinelOne engineers, most of them, are not so much interested in doing this.

We did previously use a different solution. However, I can't speak to which product that was.

Other solutions that I usually use in other organizations were on-premises.  This one is cloud-based. The point is, when you have your antivirus or EDR solution on-prem, that's your responsibility to troubleshoot the core server and do that maintenance patch and all of those kinds of tasks. When the solution is hosted in the cloud, all of these responsibilities belong to the provider, in this case, SentinelOne. When a new patch is getting released from the vendor, normally, if we were using legacy platforms, we would have to upgrade each endpoint one by one. By using cloud-based EDRs, it can be done automatically and reduces maintenance time.

The solution is very easy to set up. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

The implementation strategy was very simple: removing the old antivirus solution and replacing that with SentinelOne.

It took us three months to migrate and deploy.

We have ten to 14 people that can handle deployment and maintenance. Only one person, however, needs to handle typical maintenance tasks. 

We handled the initial setup ourselves. We did not need any outside assistance. 

Licensing is part of the procurement team. I can't speak to the exact cost of the product.

We are a customer of SentinelOne.

SentinelOne does not have a version. SentinelOne is a centralized platform that is hosted in the cloud. It's the agent that we install on servers and clients, it has versions we are using the latest version of agents. 

The product has two deployment options, cloud deployment, and on-prem deployment. Most people prefer to use cloud deployment in the way we do.

I recommend this solution often. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

My advice for other companies that do not use SentinelOne is this: that everyone, every company, likely has its own antivirus solution, whether it's McAfee, Symantec, Kaspersky, and so on. These platforms provide only an antivirus solution, however. If they replace their solutions with SentinelOne, they will have two features: EPP, endpoint protection from antiviruses, and EDR, endpoint protection and response features. They will not need to install two applications, one antivirus, and one EDR, on their clients' computers; only one agent can do anything.

SentinelOne provides an amazing amount of visibility over clients and servers. Anything done on a server, on a client, with a network connection, login, logout, changes in directories, et cetera, is recorded. Using query searches, you can find what happened very easily.
