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.

What needs improvement?

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.

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?

I use it pretty extensively. All of my highest-tier clients use SingularityOne.

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for three or four years.

What other advice do I have?

I would give the product a ten out of ten.

Good pricing and security but needs better support
Pros and Cons
  • "The best thing is it has a secure shell command that you can use to get into any endpoint and do some jobs."
  • "The only problem I have is they don't manually review the threat files. That's the only thing I'm concerned about."

What is most valuable?

It's pretty good. The best thing is it has a secure shell command that you can use to get into any endpoint and do some jobs. That's a pretty cool feature. 

It's pretty much the same as similar typical solutions. It is a CrowdStrike, or SentinelOne, or Windows Defender. They do the same thing. 

The pricing is pretty good. 

What needs improvement?

It's probably not that top-notch like CrowdStrike or Microsoft Defender. However, it's okay, it's not bad. 

The only problem I have is they don't manually review the threat files. That's the only thing I'm concerned about.

The support needs improvement. There are some limitations. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for less than six months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a very stable product. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. I'd rate it a nine out of ten. 

No matter what software you use, you need to do some fine-tuning.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. You can pretty much deploy to anywhere.

How are customer service and support?

In terms of if we need to send them some actual threat, they cannot manually verify it. That's the limitation of the company. However, for Microsoft, or Symantec, or CrowdStrike, you can actually submit a threat file, then they can manually review it. That's the only thing I've found so far with SentinelOne. The support is not that good. Obviously, probably eventually, they will get it in one year or two years' time; however, right now, it's not there.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

I've used CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and Microsoft Defender as well. 

SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black do the pretty much same thing. It all depends on the money.

The good thing about Microsoft and CrowdStrike is they can detect the device based on the traffic they're coming from. This is one of the advantages you have. With SentinelOne, this is where they're lacking. For example, for Windows Defender, if you're using your phone, you can figure out it's coming from your phone, or as long as it's coming to your enterprise network, you will know where it's coming from. This is one of the things I could not find in SentinelOne. You can only define it once you deploy it. However, without a proper deployment, you can't actually see it. For the other technologies, even though you don't deploy them, you can actually have a good understanding of the entire fleet and what's happening. For example, all emails are going to Office 365, so that's another way you get an excellent picture of the inventory assets. That's a very good NDM thing that you got it for free. With SentinelOne, they're not to that level yet.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy. It's even simpler than, for example, Windows Defender. 

The maintenance is very low. It depends on how big the organization is. The false positive rate is very low. Obviously, it should be maintained by a team. Regardless, if it's Windows Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Symantec, it has to be built and looked after by a soft team.

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

For the functionality you get, the pricing is pretty good. I'd rate it four out of five in terms of affordability.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I was actually evaluating Windows Defender. I just want to check to see the selling points and the advantages of having Defender over Symantec products.

What other advice do I have?

I didn't do a technical job; I just evaluated the product. I don't have a partnership with SentinelOne. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. They are pretty good overall. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Provides good security and protection against ransomware
Pros and Cons
  • "Offers good protection against ransomware."
  • "The anti-ransomware technology takes up a lot of disc space."

What is our primary use case?

This is an anti-malware and threat management product. We are customers of SentinelOne and I'm a system engineer.

What is most valuable?

We chose SentinelOne because of the protection it offers against ransomware. It provides good security that gives peace of mind.

What needs improvement?

We sometimes have issues with the disc space and that's because of the anti-ransomware technology they use. The volume of shadow copies becomes too large and we have to manage that. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable product. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable, we have around 500 users in the company. 

How are customer service and support?

I have issued some tickets to technical support and they were very responsive. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

We use an in-house person along with a third-party consultant for implementation.

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

I believe that SentinelOne is quite an expensive solution. 

What other advice do I have?

This is a good product, but it has some issues so I rate it eight out of 10.

Scalable solution with a straightforward setup that provides an enhanced level of endpoint security, but has issues with stability
Pros and Cons
  • "Scalable endpoint protection solution that takes seconds to set up per device. It has a rollback feature and offers good technical support."
  • "The stability of SentinelOne should be improved."

What is our primary use case?

SentinelOne is for users wanting an enhanced level of endpoint security.

What is most valuable?

What I like about SentinelOne is that it sparks your curiosity. I also like its rollback feature.

What needs improvement?

The stability of SentinelOne should be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using SentinelOne for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We're using SentinelOne through one of our partners, and we have had some stability issues with it due to Windows 10 features updates. It should be more stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

SentinelOne is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support for SentinelOne is fine.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for SentinelOne is straightforward. Setting up the solution doesn't take long, e.g. on a per-device basis, it would take just 30 seconds.

What about the implementation team?

We did the implementation of this solution ourselves.

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

Our customers pay for monthly for the license of SentinelOne.

What other advice do I have?

We're an MSP, so we deploy SentinelOne for customers, e.g. 70 to 80 endpoints.

We've had some stability issues with the solution, and that's definitely a concern. I'm still pushing forward with SentinelOne, because it's the only kind of option we have in this space.

In terms of recommending SentinelOne, I'd give it a six out of ten.

Easy to set up and transparently offers effective protection
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is that it just unintrusively works in the background to carry out the protection."
  • "Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed."

What is our primary use case?

We have SentinelOne installed on all of our workstations and servers. It is set up with the maximum protection except that Active is in Alert Mode, and everything else is blocked.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is that it just unintrusively works in the background to carry out the protection. You don't have to babysit it. Instead, it will alert if it sees something, you deal with it and carry on from there.

What needs improvement?

Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed. SentinelOne gives no clue as to the problem, so to diagnose what is happening can be difficult. To make it worse, the behavior is inconsistent. Two people in the office might have the application working correctly, but a third person using the same program will have a problem.

Nothing is displayed by the agent that is running on the workstations, but it would be helpful to have a mode available where we can see feedback as to what it is doing. We wouldn't want it running all the time because there would be more overhead, but it could be helpful for debugging or diagnosing problems.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne for between six months and a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of stability, it has been good so far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It appears to be scalable.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy.

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

Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it. That said, there are always ways to make things better.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Receptor is good at finding many EFC files
Pros and Cons
  • "We have a preference for their receptor. It's good at finding many EFC files. EFC files could have a virus."
  • "It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."

What is our primary use case?

We use the public cloud version.

What is most valuable?

We have a preference for their receptor. It's good at finding many EFC files. Normally, EFC files could have a virus, but we need to exclude some of them.

What needs improvement?

It corrects all of the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated. 

From the client-side, some scanning and other features can be enabled for scanning viruses better. If they want to scan for an individual reason other than viruses, such as scanning for legal files, they haven't been able to gather that from the client-side.

Some features could be more user-friendly. For instance, setting restrictions in the explorer for what level one must be to use it is not user-friendly. It is difficult to find what we're searching for.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Out of ten, I would give this solution 8.5 for scalability.

How are customer service and technical support?

When we need partners, they support us well. There have been no issues with that.

What other advice do I have?

It's okay. It's a better solution than other competitors.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.
