Effective detection capabilities, scalable, and reliable
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the endpoint detection of threats, and it does not only rely on signatures for detection."
- "SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."
What is our primary use case?
We are using SentinelOne for an endpoint view of the corporate network.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the endpoint detection of threats, and it does not only rely on signatures for detection.
What needs improvement?
SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SentinelOne for approximately one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SentinelOne is stable.
I rate the stability of SentinelOne a five out of five.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of SentinelOne is not a problem. These solutions can easily host up to 10,000 endpoints if not more, and we have 500. We do not have an immediate need to scale, but it is not an issue. As the company grows, the company will increase the usage of the solution.
How are customer service and support?
I am satisfied with the support from SentinelOne.
How was the initial setup?
SentinelOne is not too difficult to set up. The full deployment took a couple of months. The lengthy installation was caused by the fact that many people are remote working and we had 500 systems to install the solution on.
What about the implementation team?
We did our own deployment of SentinelOne. We used three to five people for the deployment.
What other advice do I have?
I rate SentinelOne an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for endpoint detection.
What is most valuable?
The solution works well in general.
It's a small size and offers an easy deployment. It's very quick to deploy.
The solution is stable.
It's quite scalable.
What needs improvement?
Every site has its own key. I'm not sure how I can implement the key for the setup package. Therefore, with every installation, I need to do it manually and put on the site keys.
It is an expensive product. They could work on lowering the price a bit.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution is quite scalable.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup and deployment are easy. I can get it up and running in five minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is a bit high. It's around $8 per client per month.
What other advice do I have?
We are partners. We are using the latest version of the product.
I'd recommend the solution to others. We really like it in general.
I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten.

100% Reliable with fully autonomous threat mitigation and real-time ransomware file encryption roll back, without human intervention.
Pros and Cons
- "Our clients have been able to survive a ransomware attack without even knowing that they had had files encrypted and automatically rolled back - even their Point of Sale (POS) system did not miss a beat and the business continued as normal without interruption."
- "All is good for now, but we cannot rest, and continuous development - in particular with regard to the areas of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence - is required to keep ahead of the cybercriminals."
What is our primary use case?
The product is used to provide cybersecurity protection to SMBs predominantly in the financial, manufacturing, and retail industry as well as private individuals.
SentinelOne is key in achieving compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act in South Africa.
Resolving ransomware encrypted servers or personal computers is costly to the customer, both in repair costs and loss of business due to downtime. In addition, the customer may suffer reputational damage if any of its customer data is compromised.
How has it helped my organization?
Our clients trust us to protect their IT systems and data.
We use SentinelOne because it has proven itself and has never been breached. It offers us a 100% protection record and our company reputation stays intact.
Resolving ransomware encrypted servers or personal computers is both costly and time consuming to both the customer as well as the service provider - protecting against these attacks is a win-win for all.
The SentinelOne portal dashboard provides a good overview of all the sentinels deployed and offers quick access to review and resolve affected sites and endpoints
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that it works and is reliable.
Other solutions I have researched have all been breached, and as far as I can see, SentinelOne is the only one that has never been breached. It provides fully autonomous threat mitigation and ransomware file encryption roll back in real-time without human intervention.
Our clients have been able to survive a ransomware attack without even knowing that they had had files encrypted and automatically rolled back - even their Point of Sale (POS) system did not miss a beat and the business continued as normal without interruption.
What needs improvement?
SentinelOne's ongoing updates and rate of technology improvments are adequate for now, and have kept SentinelOne ahead of the cyber criminals, but we cannot rest, and continuous development - in particular with regard to the areas of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence - is required to stay ahead of the cyber criminal techniques and exploits. The "false positive" detection rate could be improved, if possible, but this should not increase the risk of the endpoint being breached.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for over 2 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is excellent.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is excellent.
How are customer service and technical support?
The customer support has been okay.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use a different solution previously.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We are able to handle implementations in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you are an end-user you should procure the service through a Managed Cyber Security Systems Provider.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Yes, I have looked into ESET, Crowdstrike, Cylance, Webroot, and many others.

Machine learning feature enables us to identify viruses but the reporting needs improvement
Pros and Cons
- "In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature."
- "The reporting needs improvement and I would like to see a more granular level of administrative privileges."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for antivirus.
How has it helped my organization?
In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature.
What is most valuable?
The machine learning module is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
The reporting needs improvement and I would like to see a more granular level of administrative privileges.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. It wasn't a long project, it took six months.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
We don't have a plan to increase the usage, it is purely based on our business requirements.
This product is nothing but different from a traditional anti-virus. We were very apprehensive to try it. Once we tried it, it gave us a good impression.

The forensics analysis feature provides substantial help in determining the extent of a problem
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for those with access to sensitive or confidential data. The cost of the solution is prohibitive for all of our users, but we do want to make sure that those with access to critical data have higher levels of protection.
How has it helped my organization?
Users who have SentinelOne are very pleased with the solution and its protection, no complaints.
What is most valuable?
The forensics analysis feature provides substantial help in determining the extent of the problem and how it affects the machines.
What needs improvement?
The SentinelOne is one of my daily consoles and I use it regularly to identify the root cause of some infections. However, when a file is flagged as suspicious it would be very helpful to have the system highlight precisely what event or characteristic of the file SentinelOne considers potentially dangerous. In this way it would help focus our investigations on the specific characteristics or actions of the file.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have had 100% uptime with the solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Given the way the solution works, I see no issues at all with scalability — both in the number of users or incidents as well as the degree of sophistication of the attacks.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support has attended to our issues quickly and with a good sense of the need to communicate continually throughout an issue.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Yes, we continue to use Kaspersky for our other users.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is very straightforward and simple. Our users who have the solution have spoken so highly about SentinelOne that other users who are not on the target list ask if they too can use the solution.
What about the implementation team?
Our in-house team implemented the solution, working with our local engineers in the different countries where we have offices.
What was our ROI?
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is rather elevated. However, the solution is the most transparent for the uses I have ever encountered as well as being normally very informative and accurate for our engineers.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated several other options, including Bromium, Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, Cylance, Forcepoint, Invincea, and some others.
What other advice do I have?
If you have the budget, this is a top-notch solution. We have used the solution for over a year now, and we plan to continue using the solution for our most critical users (those with access to sensitive or confidential data). Truly an excellent solution.

A reasonably priced solution with EDR capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "The tool's most valuable feature is EDR."
- "I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security's stability a four out of ten."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for EDR. We're in the process of deploying so log collection will be a use case later on.

We are certain it will improve our organization later on because today our cloud has limited AD and zero EDR. SentinelOne is replacing our current legacy and we're also getting the EDR functionality.
What is most valuable?
The tool's most valuable feature is EDR.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for two months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security's stability a four out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution's scalability a four out of five.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We chose Singularity Cloud Workload Security because our team wanted a cloud-native solution instead of a legacy.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is not complex. Our team got complex information, which made it complex.
What about the implementation team?
SentinelOne's team helped us with the deployment. We had an awesome experience working with them. There were some miscommunications also.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is reasonably priced.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security an eight out of ten.
