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.

814,649 professionals have used our research since 2012.

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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.

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?

We integrated the SysLog server with SentinelOne without any issues.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete saves clients time by offering a comprehensive security solution that combines automatic detection, machine learning, behavior monitoring, and zero-day attack protection, all in one place, compared to traditional on-premise solutions.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete significantly reduced the number of alerts.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete freed up three of our people to focus on other tasks.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete are machine learning because it saves us time, device control for data privacy, and the token. 

What needs improvement?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for eight months.

Easy certificate distribution, useful integration, cloud management and robust security
Pros and Cons
  • "The 365 management and analytics from the cloud is another great feature."
  • "It would be good to see some small tools to test files or hashes that are a potential threat, I know there are already products offering this."

What is our primary use case?

We are a Dutch distributor working for Infinigate, a company specializing in distributing security solutions across Europe. One of our vendors is SonicWall. 

What is most valuable?

The instant rollback for Windows support is a nice feature.

Certificate distribution is quite easy, for example, using BitBucket SSL Inspection in conjunction with the firewall. More and more web traffic is via HTTPS, everybody is sending encrypted data, which needs to be decrypted for security purposes, then delivered. The integration of SentinelOne and the SonicWall Capture Client makes certificate distribution easy, which is needed for a SSL security setup.  

The 365 management and analytics from the cloud is another great feature.

What needs improvement?

It would be good to see some small tools to test files or hashes that are a potential threat, I know there are already products offering this.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been distributing this solution to our clients for two to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is fine, I haven't heard about any serious issues. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Within the cloud, the solution is as scalable as required. The CapEX is quite low and you can scale this solution for thousands of users. 

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

Within our company, we use a Sophos product, as we have been working with them for 25 years and have a more established relationship. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. As soon as you install it, the policy is sent from the cloud, and perhaps some certificates, and you are up and running, so that's relatively easy. I would rate the setup experience a four out of five, as there is always room for improvement.

When I open my browser, and I'm behind the SonicWall firewall without Capture Client my browser will tell me that I cannot browse the internet until I install the client. Then there is a button in the browser to install it, I click on it as a user, and after a few minutes, I'm up and running. Now I can browse again, but with a client, so it's pretty easy.

What about the implementation team?

As a distributor, we advise our resellers and they sell it to their end customers, so most of the time the resellers implement. I often give demos and training, where I show them how to do it. From a distributor role, most of the installations are done by our resellers.

What was our ROI?

The CapEX is very low because you don't have to buy any management tools or install them on your hardware. It's all based in the cloud and comes with cloud advantages. 

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

Just buy the Capture Client and buy the installer itself in a license of 100,000, or whatever is needed. You don't need to invest in any management tools because they are already installed, and maintenance from the client will keep everything up and running. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I would advise people to consider this solution, because the combination of SentinelOne and SonicWall Capture ATP is very powerful. I would also advise people to have a look at the Capture Client and test the differences with other AVs.

SentinelOne has a patented feature with a Sandboxing technique, they have four Sandboxing techniques. They also have an AI technique, machine learning from SonicWall, and millions of sensors around the world to detect threats and zero-day attacks. This corroboration of security threat data shared by everyone makes the solution a powerful security engine. As Capture ATP also works on the firewall, it's not only their AV clients who are feeding the machine learning and the threat data, but also their firewalls.

Simple to install and manage, providing aggressive defense at a competitive price
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne is very simple to install and very simple to manage. It's very aggressive, so it does protection well, and it seems to be stopping attacks that other solutions cannot."
  • "The ability to integrate this product with an antivirus solution would be welcome. Even consolidation with more security products, like Umbrella networking abilities etc. to provide more on this platform, that would be great."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection. 

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne is very simple to install and very simple to manage. It's very aggressive, so it does protection well, and it seems to be stopping attacks that other solutions cannot.

What needs improvement?

The ability to integrate this product with an antivirus solution would be welcome. Even consolidation with more security products, like Umbrella networking abilities etc. to provide more on this platform, that would be great.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been implementing this product for our customers for a few months now. 

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 implemented this product for companies ranging from 10 to 200 endpoints, with many hundreds of users and it has been fine with this volume. 

How are customer service and support?

We get support from our local reseller in Israel and their support has been fine.

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

We trialed an ESET product, but it didn't provide us with the solution we needed. 

How was the initial setup?

The implementation time depends on the size of the network but it's usually very short, no more than a day or two.  

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

The pricing of the solution seems reasonable, we got a discount but it still seems reasonable. The licensing cost is $3 to $4 per endpoint and can be paid monthly or yearly, with the price changing according to commitment. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

I would say it is important to understand all the settings to deliver exactly what the customer requires.

Advanced threat protection with impressive scalability and reliability, particularly well-suited for enterprise-level cybersecurity needs
Pros and Cons
  • "It seamlessly integrates with other solutions, providing a high level of compatibility and effectiveness."
  • "Improvement seems necessary, especially with the focus on enhanced support."

What is our primary use case?

The use case varies based on the customers' requirements and specific needs.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution's Ranger functionality offers network visibility and a defined set of capabilities, particularly in terms of discovering and understanding network structures. 

The fact that Ranger doesn't necessitate new agents, hardware, or network modifications is a crucial aspect for us. It stands out as one of the primary selling points, especially considering the intermittent nature of changes like those affecting CPO. 

With the increasing prevalence of remote processes and a shift towards cloud architectures like SASE or SSE, moving towards a single vendor for security purposes could simplify the overall process. It aided in minimizing alerts, primarily due to the behavioral analytics component, which reduces a significant amount of noise. 

It contributed to time savings for our team, particularly for the projects and tasks I predominantly handled on my own.

The solution contributed to a decrease in our organization's time to detect incidents and respond to incidents. It aided the organization in cost savings and it contributed to a reduction in our organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable features resides on the endpoint, with the rollback functionality standing out as particularly noteworthy. It seamlessly integrates with other solutions, providing a high level of compatibility and effectiveness. 

The capability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions stands out as one of the strongest features. It excels in connecting incidents to create a coherent storyline.

What needs improvement?

Improvement seems necessary, especially with the focus on enhanced support. This is particularly crucial in the analytics domain, where the existing agent falls short in comprehensive performance. Additionally, there's room for enhancement in the mobile element. Although it's in their pipeline, the current state is not optimal, especially when considering the need to install it on people's phones.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is straightforward and solid. It's notably uncomplicated and easily manageable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is excellent, with a high degree of flexibility and ease.

How are customer service and support?

Mostly, we handled the support aspect for our clients. However, among the vendors, it's notable for being quite strong in terms of support. I would rate it eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

When it comes to deploying the agent across machines within the environment, it's a relatively straightforward process, akin to pushing it through the system's processor. The implementation strategy is contingent on the specific cluster, taking into account factors like the proof of concept and the desired objectives. In our case, we managed the implementation independently, involving only a few people. The deployment model is highly variable and depends on the customer's preferences. They typically communicate their preferences to us, and we adapt accordingly. Some opt for in-house hosting, while others prefer a cloud-based approach. It doesn't require maintenance. 

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

The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced. I would recommend it more as an enterprise-level product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete was selected from a range of different providers, evaluated against other companies, and then analyzed to be the chosen product for our managed service. The capacity for innovation, ease of deployment, and streamlined management set it apart from other solutions. Additionally, its leading capability to correlate incidents into a cohesive storyline is a noteworthy aspect.

What other advice do I have?

As a partner, I find them to be highly effective, especially since they are increasingly focusing on the enterprise market. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.
