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.

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.

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.

It has provided overall endpoint status visibility
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne’s Rollback is its best feature."
  • "They could add “right click>scan” where most users were trained to do so in handling flash drives."

How has it helped my organization?

Before it was a challenge for us to know who had an existing endpoint issue or who had the most attacks within the corporate network. Since SentinelOne was introduced, it has provided overall endpoint status visibility for us. Giving us the ability to easily pinpoint endpoints which had the most attacks and respond at a faster rate.

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne’s Rollback is its best feature. No solution can ever provide a 100% protection, but their rollback feature closes this gap in endpoint security giving end users a ray of hope in the event of a worst case scenario endpoint breach, especially in ransomware attacks.

What needs improvement?

They need to improve their UI and the way they show that the scanning is running on the endpoint. Sometimes users wanted to see whether their AV is working via visual context.

They could add “right click>scan” where most users were trained to do so in handling flash drives.

Also, add remote code execution via the management console, application control, device control, and all other common features found on the legacy antiviruses. This would help administrators to fully shift from legacy to Next Gen EPP without sacrificing usable features.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There have been a few cases where the agent cannot report to the management console, thus this requires a manual restart of the agent via a command prompt.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are no problems with scalability, I could say that the product is easily scalable, since it is not limited to a physical server.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is quick and very helpful. They often response within the day or by the next business day.

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

As of now, SentinelOne still serves as an augmentation for our existing AV, but some of our devices are now using it as their sole endpoint protection.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is very easy and straightforward. It is just like installing an ordinary program and it automatically reports back to the management console.

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

The price for it is very competitive compared to other Next Gen EPP. You can really get a great value for it when it is integrated with EDR.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

No, since we already had experience with other products. As of today, we have tested one of its competitor using AI, but their overall protection still cannot be compared to how SentinelOne protects your endpoint. 

What other advice do I have?

They have an impressive product.

Understand how endpoint protection technologies work, since they do not rely on signature databases anymore. Also, follow deployment guidelines, such as initially deploying it in their production environment using a monitor only policy and giving the agents maturity of at least one to two weeks to allow the management console to build a solid behavior base for their environment.

The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment."
  • "Deployment strategy for large organizations that do not use active directory (AD)."

What is most valuable?

If I am breached, they will pay the ransom on my behalf.

Cybercrime is growing in the world of technology, the defense in today’s world has no accountability. If breached, all that is said is that it is zero-day, and you still pay license fees to those vendors. The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment.

How has it helped my organization?

With automation, the time wasted on malware, like ransomware, is dealt with on a scale where everything is centralized. The IT Technician does not have to wait for a user to bring the machine to IT, as all they need is an active internet connection.

What needs improvement?

  • Deployment strategy for large organizations that do not use active directory (AD).
  • Windows updates have not been done on the client side, so minimum requirements stop the installation.

For how long have I used the solution?

One year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

None.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

None.

How are customer service and technical support?

Excellent, they have customized reports on threats in our environment that we do not have knowledge of.

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

Yes, Sophos, I switched because SentinelOne does more things and guarantees against ransomware and can find hidden threats that other solution could not find.

How was the initial setup?

It is both straightforward and complex to install.

Machines on Windows 10 are easy and seamlessly installed.

Users machines that are not updated require updates to be done first before the solution can be installed.

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

Spend money on the security for the endpoint. That is where the data lies and where hackers try an attack, not the network or firewalls.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Sophos, AVG, Avast, McAfee, Kaspersky, and ESET.

What other advice do I have?

Ask about accountability for hidden and dormant threats that could be in your network.
