We primarily use the solution for security purposes. 

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years.

831,158 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

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

How was the initial setup?

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. 

What about the implementation team?

We deployed it using an outside resource.

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Visually appealing and customizable console, as well as a powerful API
Pros and Cons
  • "We love the API. We use it to generate robust reporting, and we also developed tools to perform agent actions remotely without needing to provide all IT staff with console access."
  • "It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne to secure our entire environment, including all user endpoints and servers. We are also currently testing the Deep Visibility addon. We were using a definition-based AV prior to SentinelOne, and we were getting daily/weekly infections of a variety of malware. We are a mix of PC, Mac, and Linux. We have on-premises machines and servers, as well as cloud VMs that we were wanting to protect. We wanted to purchase a Next Generation AV client that would be algorithm-based instead of definition file-based.

How has it helped my organization?

SentinelOne has provided amazing security. We were getting new cryptolocker variant infections several times per month and the month following our SentinelOne rollout, the numbers dropped to zero. We have not had a single infection since.

The new console is not only visually appealing and simple to use, but it allows you to customize and apply labels to different areas. I don't have a good gauge on how much money SentinelOne has saved us, but we only get a handful of security alerts in our console each day. It has freed up our security staff to perform other tasks. 

What is most valuable?

We love the API. We use it to generate robust reporting, and we also developed tools to perform agent actions remotely without needing to provide all IT staff with console access. 

The agent will now also report the location in AD. This allows you to create dynamic collections of machines in the cloud console based on their location in local AD. You can replicate your AD OU structure into the console and run deployments and reporting based on OU. It's a very powerful feature and something that was missing in our last product. 

What needs improvement?

The agent update schedule is a little sporadic, and the updates are frequent. You are definitely going to want to have a good management solution in place, such as SCCM, Intune, or Jamf in order to maintain the environment properly.

There is agent data, such as last known IP address, that is not stored historically. It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible. You can see a snapshot of the data at the moment, but once it changes whatever was there previously is not stored. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The agent is very stable, especially the later versions of the product. Agent never crashes and consumes minimal system resources. New agent versions are constantly released (which can be slightly difficult to manage if you don't have a good endpoint third party management solution like SCCM\JAMF). Release over release both stability and features have improved and been more fleshed out. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable and easy to deploy over any of the standard management solutions.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer service and our TAM are both very good. They are responsive and have never been unable to answer a question we asked. 

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

We switched because or old solution flat out was not picking up infections. It was really almost rather useless. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. We do not have any on-premises infrastructure. Rather, we are using sentinel one in full-cloud mode. It was really just a matter of deploying the agent to the endpoints.

What about the implementation team?

Our in-house team handled the deployment.

What was our ROI?

ROI is kind of hard to quantify but we definitely do feel like we get our money worth.

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

The costs are really rather minimal for what you receive with the product. No real advisement here. The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Carbon Black. SentinelOne was more economical, and the feature set was comparable so we ultimately went with it.

What other advice do I have?

Be ready to dedicate a good amount of time to learn the API. To really get the most from the product you need to tap the REST API.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Discovers and deletes problem-causing processes, but the support team lacks knowledge
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool deletes the problem-causing process and prevents issues."
  • "They should train their own people so that they can train us better. The theory is good."

What is our primary use case?

Every five years, we research tools that could replace our old software. We combine our AV and intrusion detection. We were trying to find out if there’s an agent for the whole nine-yard, and we came across SentinelOne.

What is most valuable?

The product has an automated process where we find security issues. It’s a 24/7 behavior analytical tool to execute certain actions. The tool deletes the problem-causing process and prevents issues. It discovers, kills, and protects. The software is good. I don't see much of an issue with it.

What needs improvement?

They should train their own people so that they can train us better. The theory is good. If the product is good, but we cannot rely on it or pass it along to the customer, it's useless. When we purchased the solution, we were told that certain functions could be done. I understand it is part of sales, but I feel like I'm being fooled. We couldn't test it because it was in production. We first had a proof of concept but didn't connect it to our Azure portion.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete since February.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product's stability is okay.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool's scalability is average.

How are customer service and support?

The support people of SentinelOne do not know the different products offered by SentinelOne. How can they support their customer if one person knows one thing and the other doesn't? They tell us the issue does not come under them and point us to a different team.

There is a SentinelOne support team and a Singularity support team. SentinelOne's support team is okay. Once, the technical support and help desk director got involved with all our issues. However, the director got involved after we strongly complained about the issues. That's not the way it's supposed to be.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

I have used Arctic Wolf.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment was good. The solution is cloud-based.

What about the implementation team?

We took help from SentinelOne to deploy the solution. We paid for it, but it was not worth the money we paid for. Two people from our company are required for the deployment. The solution requires maintenance.

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

The licensing is okay. I don't see any issues with it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated other options. We were trying to have one solution for everything. We heard that SentinelOne purchased another company. Other products like Rapid7 provide multiple solutions and products for our needs. We saw that SentinelOne provided us with one product and one support system. However, even while using SentinelOne, I have to contact different teams.

What other advice do I have?

When we purchased the solution, it did not do what we expected. We didn't use all of the features. It has quite a few options. There are a bunch of more add-on modules. Other products from SentinelOne are not good. I am really disappointed with them. The user must understand the solution by just reading the training documents. The team claims it is professional, but it lacks a lot of functions.

The integration is fine, but the feature is not how they market it. It looks good on paper, but it's not what we think it is. It's not a ready product in marketing. I am disappointed with it. The interoperability is still under development. Not many people know or understand it, including people from SentinelOne. When we call and try to figure out what's going on with the solution, not many understand what it is. There is a lack of training on their products and services.

The Ranger functionality is fine. It’s only been six months since we started using it. We're still learning as it goes. I think Ranger is probably better than Singularity. Sometimes, they send false positives. It's not really a big feature for us. It's good. They're trying to prevent any networking attack, but I don't think it’s there yet. They're just trying to discover what is on the network, but we already have other tools for that.

It is important for us that Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. Ranger is just trying to discover whatever issues we have. I don't think it can prevent it. I don't think it can block issues or protect our devices.

Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

Offers advantages like real-time detection
Pros and Cons
  • "The XDR capability is quite good."
  • "The solution should include USB blocking for specific machines."

What is our primary use case?

Our company serves as resellers and solution engineers for our enterprise customers. We deploy and support the solution in customer environments. 

What is most valuable?

The XDR capability is quite good and offers advantages such as its real-time detection that is superior to CrowdStrike. I hear that face detection capabilities have also been added. 

What needs improvement?

The dashboard should include troubleshooting because it can have problems. 

Sometimes, the XDR does not configure its policies for data security on time. 

The XDR should include ECI compliance, multiple data securities, and the load balancer for network firewalls under one umbrella. It would be beneficial to buy a salient solution that does everything. 

The cloud side could be improved to include security, advanced integrations with other products, storage accounts, monitoring, and support. 

The solution should include USB blocking for specific machines. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for one year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable with no issues. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is half and half. They offer good support but response time is slow. Sometimes, you have to contact multiple engineers to get good information and that is a challenge. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What about the implementation team?

We deploy the solution for customers. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The solution's XDR is superior to CrowdStrike. 

What other advice do I have?

I am satisfied with the solution and rate it an eight out of ten.

Quick deployment, beneficial lateral movement, and integrates well with Active Directory
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory."
  • "SentinelOne can improve by having better integration with Active Directory."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne mainly for lateral movement, ransomware, anti-malware, AI engine, and forensics.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory.

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne can improve by having better integration with Active Directory.

For how long have I used the solution?

SentinelOne can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud.

I have been using SentinelOne for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

SentinelOne is stable. However, the only issue I had was with legacy system, such as older kernels. The newer systems are more stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of SentinelOne is good, but my biggest concern is they need to find some way to automatically install their agents to specifically Microsoft Windows devices because not every IT infrastructure has SECM of others that automatically deploy it. It would be helpful during the migration of new customers.

We have approximately 4,000 systems using the solution and plan on adding another 400.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't had the opportunity to interact with SentinelOne support.

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

I have previously used Microsoft Windows Defender.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of SentinelOne is very easy. You only need to turn it on and it starts working with a couple of clicks. The ease of implementation is SentinelOne strongest feature.

What about the implementation team?

We have three people deploying SentinelOne. As part of the team deploying the agent, there are multiple teams involved, and each one can deploy an agent when they have their own time.

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

SentinelOne can cost approximately $70 per device.

What other advice do I have?

The advice I would give others that are thinking of implementing SentinelOne is if they have any other solutions, I would highly recommend them to start using it, especially if they have Active Directory. It's very good at picking up weird anomalies.

I  rate SentinelOne an eight out of ten.

Excellent for detection and device blocking and offer good network control
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is both stable and scalable."
  • "The delay in updating inventory is ten minutes. If it can be improved, it will help a lot."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for anti-malware, policy enforcement, and blocking USBs, for example. It's used for detection in general, and for protection and threat blocking.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very straightforward to set up. 

The features are great. It is excellent for detection and device blocking.

The network control has been useful, as well as the firewall control. 

The solution is both stable and scalable. 

What needs improvement?

The inventory is a good feature. However, it's not up to date. The delay in updating inventory is ten minutes. If it can be improved, it will help a lot. 

For the general IT management, there is a need to correlate the software version from inventory with the CVE information. For example, we have the CVE, however, it doesn't take into account the current version. We need it to stay up to date with the latest version. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for less than one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product can scale very well. 

We have less than 50 people on the solution currently. We are using it in a smaller environment.

We do have plans to increase usage in the future. We are, in fact, still deploying it. So the department is not finished yet.

How are customer service and support?

We get technical support from the vendor. 

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

I've also used Microsoft Defender.

How was the initial setup?

It offers an easy implementation process. It's not overly complex or difficult. Setting everything up on the cloud is simple. The deployment was done in a matter of days. In the end, it took less than a week. We had two people handle the deployment process. 

What about the implementation team?

We did have some outside assistance. They helped with half of the process. 

What was our ROI?

We found the ROI to be quite high. However, it would vary, depending on the contract. It's a good investment. I'd give it a five out of five.

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

I cannot speak to the exact pricing. That said, it's very reasonable. I'd rate it five out of five in terms of affordability. There are cheaper options; however, it is quite affordable. We pay a yearly licensing fee. 

What other advice do I have?

We are a customer and end-user. We deal with a SentinelOne partner. 

I can't speak to which version we are using.

Whether or not the solution would work for an organization depends on the environment and other factors. That said, we are very satisfied with the product overall. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Helps to centralize and mitigate organizational risk
Pros and Cons
  • "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 should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for endpoint threat detection. 

How has it helped my organization?

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. 

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for a year. 

How are customer service and support?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

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.
