I use it pretty extensively. All of my highest-tier clients use SingularityOne.
CEO/Team Lead at Intech Computer Solutions
Well designed and does what it says it's going to do
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is that it does what it says it will do. It fulfills its claims. It’s not really common for products to do that today."
- "In terms of improvement, the documentation could be better. I would also like to see SingularityOne compatibility with Huntress, and the tighter integration between them would bring more to the table."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
All of my business's machines use SentinelOne complete with Singularity and XDR, which ties into things like Azure AD and whatnot. It's really great. Although I don't get the 24x7 Managed Security Operations Center wonderfulness through it.
It is a well-designed product that does what it says it is going to do. It protects endpoints, finds anomalies, and remediates them based on the automation plans I've set up.
It is a really great product.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that it does what it says it will do. It fulfills its claims. It’s not really common for products to do that today.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvement, the documentation could be better. I would also like to see SingularityOne compatibility with Huntress, and the tighter integration between them would bring more to the table.

Senior IT Security Analyst at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
Easy to set up and good for protecting endpoints with helpful documentation available
What is our primary use case?
SentinelOne is an antivirus and an EDR platform. We are using is simply for its antivirus and EDR features.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been dealing with the solution for just over one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability has been very good.
There are thousands of both users and servers. Everyone uses it.
How are customer service and support?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
We handled the initial setup ourselves. We did not need any outside assistance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing is part of the procurement team. I can't speak to the exact cost of the product.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Security Expert at Infinigate
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.

IT Operations Manager at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
Offers better protection for corporate environments particularly with a lot of cloud integration and platforms like Office 365
Pros and Cons
- "All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us."
- "In terms of improvement, I would like to see better alerting to let us know if there is anything wrong with SentinelOne working on the endpoint of the computer."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case of this solution is to have as a next-generation security product for our endpoint devices.
What is most valuable?
All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvement, I would like to see better alerting to let us know if there is anything wrong with SentinelOne working on the endpoint of the computer.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable. We don't have any plans to increase usage.
How are customer service and technical support?
We haven't had to engage with their technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were previously using another solution and it was a corporate decision to switch to this solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took around two weeks.
What about the implementation team?
We did the integration in-house.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We didn't evaluate other options before choosing this solution.
What other advice do I have?
I strongly recommend this solution. I would recommend that you get onto a next-generation endpoint security device like this one. It's much better protection for corporate environments particularly with a lot of cloud integration and platforms like Office 365. If you're going to start using those sort of services, then you really need a next-generation endpoint protection device like SentinelOne.
I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Chief Information Officer at Amadys
Simple deployment and the solution just works
Pros and Cons
- "SentinelOne is a stable solution."
- "There is room for improvement with the management interface. It could be more user friendly."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case for SentinelOne is antivirus and malware protection.
What is most valuable?
I found the detection the most valuable.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement with the management interface. It could be more user friendly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne for less than a year but more than six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SentinelOne is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SentinelOne is a scalable solution. We have some 300 people using it in our organization and plan to increase usage as the company grows. Every machine we roll out gets that product.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Trend Micro before we switched to SentinelOne. We made the switch because SentinelOne is not signature-based, it's an AI solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. It entails simple installers and we deployed it through policies. We deployed it as a package on all PCs and servers and it took two weeks.
What about the implementation team?
Deployment can be done in-house with one technical person.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend it. It just works.

Information Security Engineer at Infoprive
Easy to set up with great AI and helpful technical support
Pros and Cons
- "The product can scale."
- "I'd like to see more documentation."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for EDR to protect critical devices.
What is most valuable?
The AI feature is great, as are its automatic features. The solution can scan for malware easily. And then the ransomware protection is excellent.
It's pretty easy to set up.
The technical support is great.
The product can scale.
What needs improvement?
The solution just needs to step up and take on other solutions. Some are a bit stronger in comparison.
My improvements have been qualitative. For example, previously they didn't have a mobile device solution. However, two months ago, or three months ago they released the mobile version. Previously, they could only cover Linux, Windows, and macOS. However, two months, three months ago roughly, they start supporting mobile devices.
I'd like to see more documentation.
SentinelOne documentation is only available to partners or people who own SentinelOne. There is no public documentation of SentinelOne. With other EDRs you can literally fix your problem by going to the documentation publicly. There is always public documentation. However, with this product, public documentation is hidden from subscribers. If you Google some SentinelOne issue, you don't find any answers. There needs to be more public information about the product.
We added some sessions with a customer to go through testing, including a UAT session and testing session of the solution, and the customer listed some things they wanted to see in the solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been dealing with the solution for 14 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Overall, the solution is between 90% and 95% stable. Sometimes it causes a blue screen and causes the device to crash. It causes servers or computers to crash. That's a huge gamble. You could install SentinelOne on your computer and if you do, there's the risk that your production machine could go down when SentinelOne came on. Stability is a gamble for SentinelOne. There's more chance of crashing your computer. And the only solution when that happens is to go and install it through safe mode.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is actually scalable.
Our customers are small, medium, and enterprise companies. We support all of them, both small and medium enterprising arms.
How are customer service and support?
SentinelOne technical support is awesome. If there is a five-star option, I'd give them six stars. They give good support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm also working with CrowdStrike Falcon. I have worked with Carbon Black as well. SentinelOne is better than Carbon Black.
The priority of EDR before any complex feature is the ability to detect and then prevent malware attacks. That will be main reason of an EDR. SentinelOne does a very good job of detection of online threats. Once you get targeted by a ransomware attack, SentinelOne will notice that. Carbon Black doesn't do that.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation process is pretty easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable. I'm an engineer and therefore can't speak to exact pricing.
What other advice do I have?
We're a partner.
We sell SentinelOne. We implement and deploy. We have a partnership, basically.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
My advice to other users is if you are going to any solution out there, number one is to make sure if there are issues tey can be easily fixed. With this product, you won't have to have a problem going for three months unsolved or going for two months unsolved.

Protects endpoints against malware and other threats
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of this solution is the user-friendly interface."
- "This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."
What is our primary use case?
We are an IT company that sells solutions, and this is one of the products that we provide to our customers. We work on certain opportunities that require the capabilities of SentinelOne, but we do not use it for our own purposes.
This solution is used to protect endpoints against malware and other threats.
A lot of the deployments are hybrid. In Lebanon, the cloud is not used to a large extent. Most of the customers use on-premises solutions.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of this solution is the user-friendly interface. Our customers ask for something that is easy to use, easy to manipulate and doesn't require too much intervention. This is where SentinelOne scored big against CrowdStrike and Carbon Black.
This solution is easy to install.

This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been working with this solution for about one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability seems ok at this point because there is no negative feedback from the customers.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This solution is scalable and expandable with no issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have support from both vendor and distributor, and up to now, it has been satisfactory. The response has been very good, which is something the customers really appreciate and is always considered a plus.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. The deployment is very easy and very fast, taking perhaps two or three hours, depending on the size of the project.
It is a centralized deployment.
A maximum of two people are required for the setup and maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation of this project is a joint effort between our team and the vendor's technical team.
What other advice do I have?
I have done POCs with this solution for two customers and there has been no negative feedback.
My advice for anybody considering this product is to do a POC and check to ensure it fits their environment. In some areas, this may be the best product to use, but in another environment, another product or another solution would be a better fit. It's always a matter of doing the POC and trying to get the most out of the product, depending on the environment.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: Reseller.
