SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

We use the tool for malware protection and the XDR portion to track intrusions and possible exploitations.

I find the product very easy to maintain and troubleshoot. Their engineers are very helpful if you need additional assistance. It's one of the best products I've used. It's easy to use from my standpoint, both for troubleshooting and with the support we get from their team if necessary.

I find its interoperability with other solutions very good. When there are issues, because everything eventually has issues, the team is very good about running logs and finding out what portion is having issues. We can either exclude a portion of it or make it work. They find a solution.

We haven't had any issues with how we ingest or correlate data across security solutions. We use APIs and things like that to ingest data. For us, we haven't had any issues with the tools we use, but I can't speak for other organizations.

We now have threat hunting, visibility, and malware protection in one console. There are other portions we don't leverage because we choose to keep them separate, like our firewall, but we could if we wanted to.

The solution has helped us reduce false positives. We still get alerts, but I think they're more dynamic now. We have fewer issues with systems. It doesn't take as many resources, so we don't have outages caused by hijacking resources. We've probably reduced our issues with that by 90 percent from the previous program we were using.

The tool has helped free up our team's time. Especially when it comes to upgrades, I went from taking several months with the previous software to getting it done in a week or two for 15,000 to 17,000 assets. It's freed up months.

While I don't track mean time to detect specifically, I know it's very quick because of the way it detects intrusions. It's anomaly-based, not signature-based. It will flag something, review it, determine whether it's a false positive or actually malicious, and then quarantine it. It's pretty instantaneous. We've averted several ransomware attempts before they could infect anything.

Our mean time to respond has decreased significantly. The response is much quicker now, especially since very little gets reverted to us for handling. The Vigilance AI portion usually takes care of most of it, determining the severity of something and whether it needs human attention.

It has helped us save costs, particularly regarding fewer infections throughout the network. While I don't have exact numbers, we've had a reduction in costs associated with reimaging machines due to malware.

It would be nice to be able to adjust the canned reports manually and choose the specific data we want to report on instead of being limited to their pre-set reports.

I have been using the product for three years. 

In terms of stability, we have no downtime from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. We may have some complications with interoperability when we deploy something new that didn't get tested, but that's usually not SentinelOne's fault. It's usually because a third party changed something that had already been whitelisted.

We haven't had any issues with scalability. It scales very well from small to large. We're at 16,000 endpoints, and it's very easy to deploy and manage.

I've contacted technical support myself. Their response time depends on the severity with which you submit the case. For low priority, it takes about a day or two. For high priority, it's within an hour or two, according to their SLA. They're very prompt.

Positive

We switched from Symantec to SentinelOne Singularity Complete mainly because of cost and technology changes. Symantec wasn't changing quickly enough as technology moved toward the cloud, and things were going faster. Broadcom was still using heavy, clunky on-premises agents that used a lot of resources. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was new, next-gen, smoother, and quicker with less downtime. They manage their end in the cloud, so we don't have to maintain our console.

We saw the benefits immediately after deployment. The deployment was seamless, easy to learn, and easy to use—very intuitive. The initial deployment was pretty seamless and easy. It took us about six months to fully deploy, but that was because we did it in segments. We're a global organization with many different entities, so we had to do it segmented. It probably would have taken us a quarter if we had just set it out all at once.

The only maintenance we require is keeping our agents up to date. We do this manually because we go through a change approval process to ensure we don't introduce anything that will harm the system. We then test and deploy.

We used SentinelOne's guidance, but we did the deployment ourselves in-house.

My impression of SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a strategic security partner is that it's state-of-the-art, easy, and uncomplicated. As an engineer, I find the product easy to deploy, maintain, and efficiently. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

I advise new users to read the manual before they start using it. Understand all the different modules to utilize them as intended and get the best out of them. Also, use their support if you have questions before you deploy. Get a game plan and follow their recommendations.

Our primary use cases involve Endpoint Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response.

My positive experience with SentinelOne lies in its comprehensive version, allowing for rollback and replay of events, which is especially useful for EDR. The strength of behavior-based solutions like SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, CyberArk, and others lies in their ability to reveal the consequences of opening a file. Witnessing the impact of a virus gaining control over a computer or understanding the ramifications of opening a file adds a layer of insight.

It stands out for its seamless interoperability with other SentinelOne products and tools, facilitated by REST interfaces. This integration is particularly potent when connecting SentinelOne as an endpoint solution to firewalls like Fortinet, allowing the firewall to receive insights from SentinelOne clients. In today's landscape, where file transfers often occur through encrypted channels, traditional firewalls face challenges in inspecting these streams effectively. SentinelOne's endpoint security addresses this by analyzing downloaded files in their decrypted form, providing a crucial layer of protection. The bidirectional information flow between the firewall and endpoint security, enabled by SentinelOne's REST API, empowers proactive threat prevention and detection, contributing to a robust cybersecurity posture.

Utilizing SentinelOne has significantly reduced the number of alerts for us. We might have experienced more false positives and missed potential attacks without it. Its alert system is efficient, with a low rate of false positives compared to other solutions I've heard about. Managing alerts is straightforward, and the platform allows for creating white lists to handle false positives, such as those related to old printer drivers. The administration is user-friendly, offering features like multi-factor authentication for secure connections to the console and automatic updates within the SentinelOne interface.

It has proven to be a time-saver for our staff, significantly reducing the likelihood of falling victim to various cyber threats. By addressing the spectrum of attacks, from initial malware infiltration to potential worst-case scenarios like Active Directory compromise, SentinelOne has played a pivotal role. It effectively diminishes the probability of becoming a target for attacks that exploit stolen passwords, infiltrate the company's IT infrastructure, and escalate privileges, ultimately leading to severe consequences such as a randomized Active Directory.

The platform is user-friendly, easy to administer, and aligns well with GDPR requirements, which is crucial for us. What makes SentinelOne stand out is its speed and efficiency, consuming minimal computing resources. It operates by checking data only when it's accessed, synchronizing with the process that opens the data which is well-designed and effective.

I don't actively use SentinelOne's Ranger functionality because we haven't implemented it university-wide. While we've employed it in specific cases, my experience with it is limited. However, it provides valuable insights into past events, allowing you to trace the history of a virus download or malware activity. For instance, you might discover that a virus was downloaded two weeks ago using the Safari web browser, saved to the computer, and later opened with Excel, triggering certain actions before SentinelOne intervened. The ability to roll back such ransom actions is a valuable capability provided by SentinelOne.

It primarily operates on local machines, monitoring processes, and not always providing detailed insights, relying on external information to determine the nature of a file. This limitation becomes apparent in more complex scenarios, such as analyzing or assessing the content of files at the byte level, especially in cases involving files like Excel, where there may be some difficulty in discerning potential issues. They should consider incorporating a cloud-based service where users can upload suspicious links, documents like Excel sheets, or ambiguous files to observe their behavior in a sandbox environment. Currently, with SentinelOne, the process involves setting up a separate network and machine for this purpose, requiring users to upload the file and monitor its behavior on the dedicated machine. Offering a free and accessible service like this would be a noteworthy enhancement to their product, providing users with a convenient and efficient way to analyze potentially harmful content.

I have been working with it for four years.

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

I would rate its scalability abilities nine out of ten.

I am highly satisfied with their technical support; it is truly excellent. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Positive

Comparatively, SentinelOne has certain drawbacks, particularly when measured against CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike offers a free sandbox at hybrid-analysis.com, allowing the examination of links and downloaded files on a virtual machine. This proves especially valuable in assessing potential phishing emails. Uploading the file or link to hybrid-analysis.com provides a detailed analysis, complete with screenshots of what transpires on the virtual machine. This includes actions like the opening of links, prompting CEO impersonation attempts, and other background information. While SentinelOne may lack these specific features, its advantage lies in being an all-encompassing solution, whereas CrowdStrike functions primarily as a managed service, which may not align with specific preferences.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment of Singularity Complete involved some consultation, as we collaborated with a partner who facilitated the onboarding process with SentinelOne. While the partner occasionally provides support, larger issues are infrequent, and overall, the deployment has been relatively smooth. We have implemented it across various locations. There is some maintenance involved in managing Singularity Complete.

It's challenging to quantify precisely, but the implementation of Singularity Complete has significantly reduced organizational risks. Currently, we employ it on critical systems, constituting approximately fifty percent of our infrastructure.

Creating separate groups for various types of computers, like Windows servers and clients, enables efficient management and customization of security configurations tailored to specific needs. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.

It is our primary software platform for endpoint detection and response and vulnerabilities.

Our overall fleet posture and our security have increased a lot. It is much easier to get the agents out onto machines no matter what their operating system is, and it gives equitable reports back no matter what our platform is.

So far, it is one of the most interoperable applications and platforms that I have seen. There is the ease of bringing things in with the marketplace and the willingness of the company itself to work with you to help you address anything that they do not currently have.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. Being new in the department for a year and a half, I am not the one to say how much time it has saved, but it has made my life easier by several hours a week. It gives me a straight line and a story for what I am looking for, so I can quickly identify whether something is to be expected and just a false positive or if it is actually a problem. Usually, when it is a problem, SentinelOne would have already mitigated it.

Singularity Complete has absolutely helped reduce alerts. It has drastically reduced alerts across the board. There is a 40% to 60% reduction. This reduction is because it is tunable. It is very tunable, and you can tweak it to meet your needs where you are not just stuck with what a manufacturer or a software developer said in terms of the alerting that you are going to get.

Singularity Complete has definitely helped reduce our organizational risk. Our risk score has gone down by 15% to 20%. We have better coverage and better insight into what is being covered.

Singularity Complete has probably saved us costs. I do not have enough insight into those budget numbers, but they keep adding things to it, so my guess is that it has saved us costs.

SentinelOne is one of our most important partners. The help that we get from their engineers, success team, and support really and truly has been unparalleled.

I am going to be a little biased because I am a Mac guy. I have been a Mac guy for twenty years, and the feature parity and the capabilities of a Macintosh agent are unparalleled in the industry. It is the first anti-malware and antivirus that does not make you feel that you bought the wrong processor. It is really good and lightweight. 

It seems like they are doing a lot with their automatic updates. They can maybe slow down the actual release cycle to make it easier to deploy the most recent and then do it using the live update. They can continue to work on that because trying to get agent changes through change management platforms and get approvals and testing can be quite difficult.

I have been using Singularity Complete for three years.

I am blown away by their support. Every time I reach out to my customer service manager, they are returning questions after hours. You do not see that from a lot of companies. I would rate their support a 10 out of 10.

Positive

We were not officially using a similar solution. We had other products that we were using, but we did not have a full solution like SentinelOne. We were using multiple things. One of them was McAfee. We switched because they got bought by Trellix, and nobody knew what was going to happen with them. That was our most recent one and what I am most experienced with.

I was involved in its initial deployment. I packaged the Jamf mobile device management installation package for our Macs. As far as security products go, it was the easiest one. The instructions were great. They were aligned with the vendor, which is something not common. Usually, it is like, "Here is what you have to do with your vendor." SentinelOne took that extra step, and it deployed right out of the box.

We have on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud deployment. Our cloud provider is primarily AWS, but we also have a little bit with Google and Mandiant, so we have a hybrid cloud. We are in the middle of a migration. The cloud is fairly new for us, and securing it has been a priority.

We have our deployment segregated on endpoint types, but our entire organization has it.

We did it directly on our own. We rolled it out very quickly. We had been dealing with McAfee before it, so this was like a breath of fresh air.

We had two or three people working on it, so it went out very smoothly.

I believe we have seen an ROI. If nothing else, the investment that they are making, as analysts, engineers, and architects, we feel that we can get more done in SentinelOne and have a better stance overall for our organization. 

They evaluated a lot, but that was before I was in the department, so I do not know exactly which ones they did.

I would advise listening to your sales engineers and letting them give you ideas because SentinelOne can do things that you have no idea about.

For next-generation platforms, it is at the top of what is a small stack right now, and that puts them ahead of a lot of other people.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It has been fantastic for us.

It's our main EDR solution on campus for our university. It's the main solution that we deployed to our host throughout the university.

I wasn't here for the initial implementation, however, it was to replace a previous product that we had, so we wanted to move to something cleaner, easier to use, and an overall better product.

Its basic use, which is just an EDR solution for actively hunting and killing threats, is good. It does what we had intended it to do, and that's what it does a great job of.

The main feature, its EDR capabilities, is the most valuable. It is great for security monitoring and blocking when needed. It offers good basic operations of an antivirus solution.

Singularity's ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions is good. It does not ingest as much as it gives out. Right now, for us, there is not any ingesting happening for it right now. We don't have that set up.

The interoperability with other solutions or other third-party applications has been pretty solid. It's pretty standalone by itself. We're exporting a little bit of data from it, however, and we haven't had any issues.

Our mean time to detect is good. I wouldn't have the numbers on that, however, it's relatively quick. From some of the stuff that we've done investigations on, it's within the minute. It responds when it sees something within minutes and runs through its normal process of blocking and then alerting us about whatever was done.

The response comes to us. That's a human response. It's just the detection and alerting system, and then the response falls on us, and that varies depending on workload.

The quality is obviously great. They are mature. They change, they adapt as any security tool would in response to the threats in the threat landscape.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of much that’s wrong with the product. It's a pretty solid tool from top to bottom. I've had some issues with the specific agents, however, we are moving off of that particular OS that we were having issues with. Other than that, it's been a pretty solid tool.

We had a problem on the Singularity side. So for that particular issue, I’m not sure why it didn’t work with the OS, a Windows Server. It was an issue with some of the clients connecting to the console. We’ve been working with them and haven't been able to find out a single cause of failure.

I've been using the solution for a year and a half. 

We haven't had any issues. There is nothing that's noticeable and it's never offline for long periods of time. 

It's pretty scalable. There are a few operating systems that we've had issues with. Other than that, everything else has been pretty scalable.

Technical support is super. They are very helpful and relatively quick to respond. Sometimes they take a little bit to respond, however, it's not super long. 

The company also has good online knowledge and it's pretty helpful. Usually, we'll access the database knowledge first and then go to support. 

Positive

We used CrowdStrike previously.

I was not involved in the initial setup. 

I'm not hands-on. I'm more on the management side. Basically, we make sure that they connect, and I'll handle the management once everything's set up. I'm handling monitoring. Deployment is handled by another team. We have maybe ten team members who manage deployments. 

The maintenance is minimal. It's pretty self-sufficient. We just do normal reviews. 

From my point of view, the deployment is straightforward. 

We use internal teams to handle deployment. 

I'm not sure of the pricing. That's above me. I'm a technical person. It's not my arena.

They also have this feature called Ranger. That one we don't have implemented. That's an extra fee, so we don't have it.

Overall, I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's been a pretty solid tool. 

I would probably recommend it over some of the other ones that I've seen only based on the ease of use. It does what it's supposed to do. It's been relatively fast and is also pretty complete from what we've seen. The product is not very difficult to learn.

I review the data logs from each SentinelOne agent using Skylight to develop queries. We have been using Star Alerts to create custom alerts based on those rules. We also partner with their Vigilance team for 24/7 monitoring.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to gain widespread visibility into global markets and to facilitate easy agent deployment for EDR and XDR solutions.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete's interoperability with other SentinelOne and third-party applications is excellent. We recently used a proof of value to integrate some of our other email products, such as Proofpoint, with SentinelOne Singularity Complete. The ease of use has been amazing. Singularity Complete has been a great data ingestion platform, and we have already gained a wealth of data that we never had access to before.

Singularity Complete's ability to ingest and correlate data across our security solutions has been effective. We can see a significant number of events from our DNS logs, firewall logs, and email tenancy. Overall, it has performed very well thus far.

We ended up getting rid of QRadar and relied heavily on Singularity Complete. Singularity Complete allowed us to deploy the SentinelOne agent on a significant number of domain controllers and collect much more information than we could with QRadar alone. We needed to purchase additional licenses to quantify the data more effectively. However, Singularity Complete provided the same if not even more enrichment because it allowed us to see a lot of things about the transitioning of IP ranges, the ingressing of traffic from different IP ranges if they are open to the internet, and who is contacting those ranges via different endpoints. Overall, Singularity Complete has provided a significant improvement in data ingestion over our previous solution of QRadar.

Overall, we have seen a quicker response time with Singularity Complete. We are able to drill down into events in a much more granular way. This allows us to respond better, correlate the information that Singularity has gathered, and come up with a definitive answer to certain questions. Because of Singularity's enrichment of the data that we currently have, we are able to answer these questions more accurately, carefully, and with more specific timestamps. Since we have some of these deployed globally, it is very important for us to get the centralized time zones correct so that we know exactly when an event occurred.

Singularity Complete has helped us reduce the number of false positives. It provides us with a wealth of data enrichment, which allows us to distinguish between normal and abnormal events in our environment. This is important because we have billions of events happening every ten minutes across our many deployed endpoints. In the past, we would waste analyst time investigating alerts that turned out to be false positives. However, with Singularity Complete, we can now quickly identify which alerts are most likely to be legitimate and prioritize those for investigation. For example, if Singularity Complete tells us that a particular event has been seen a thousand times on one endpoint but only twenty times on another endpoint, we know that the twenty occurrences on the second endpoint are more likely to be abnormal and worth investigating.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff's time for other projects. With all the data enrichment that Singularity Complete has provided us, we are no longer chasing false positives. We are able to set our custom Star rules so that we receive the alerts that are most relevant to our organization, rather than broad alerts that may or may not be relevant. This allows us to focus our attention on what matters most and to investigate more accurate alerts. As a result, we are able to dedicate time to other projects. Before Singularity Complete, our analysts spend two to four weeks. With Singularity Complete in place, we've seen a reduction of two to three weeks, depending on the vendor. On average, analysts now spend three to ten days analyzing logs.

Singularity Complete substantially reduced our MTTD.

Our MTTR has been substantially reduced by Singularity Complete. We are now able to respond within the hour of receiving the alert.

Singularity Complete has helped our organization save costs by eliminating the need to replace equipment infested with malware. We can now detect, remediate, and roll back malware attacks as needed, thanks to the visibility that Singularity Complete provides. We can drill down into actual alerts, not just false positives, and eradicate any malware that may be infecting our systems.

Singularity Complete has reduced our organizational risk by providing us with much broader visibility into various endpoints deployed globally. This allows us to see what is normal in our environment, rather than reacting to what may not be normal.

The most valuable aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Complete are the ease of deployment with the Sentinel Agent and the enhanced visibility with Skylight, which provides correlation of logs and all endpoint data in a centralized location.

The ingestion and correlation of data would be improved by integrating with email security solutions such as Proofpoint or our email security solution. We do not yet have a marketplace integration, so we had to build it from scratch. As a result, it has been somewhat difficult for this particular use case, but the data is available and we are able to correlate it with users, not necessarily with endpoints, but we are making progress.

We often experience interruptions to our investigations in SentinelOne Singularity Complete. It would be helpful if we could resume our search query from where we left off, even if we lose internet connectivity or the platform is caching results. This would reduce our MTTR by eliminating the need to wait for the platform to load results again. We expect some load times due to the amount of data in our environment, but the current load times are too long and sometimes produce no results. We would like to see the overall response time of the platform improved.

One area for improvement would be per-user dashboarding. This may be a permissions issue, but we currently only have organization-wide dashboards. I think per-user dashboards would be beneficial because they would allow users to focus on their specific investigations. For example, when a user opens Singularity Complete, they can see a dashboard that is tailored to their current investigation.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for three years.

I would rate the stability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a seven out of ten. We have sometimes encountered problems where queries do not load or take an abnormally long time to load, especially when we are narrowing down the search range to a fourteen-day period, which is standard for us. We have also seen queries that run for twenty minutes or so and then log us out. Additionally, the time narrowing feature, or at least the custom time slots, where we can specify a date, such as September 18, may not work depending on how we write the query. We have had to get used to the custom syntax for the time stamps. Finally, we have sometimes seen data that does not update as often as it should.

We have not experienced any problems with scalability. We are able to onboard new machines, and within a day or two, we see more data populate for those machines. So far, scaling has been very helpful for us. This is one of the reasons why we wanted to onboard with Singularity Complete, to get that visibility and to get it right away.

Most of the technical support team members I have spoken to at the level two and level three levels of support have been very helpful and willing to share resources and documents from the help portal and knowledge base articles.

Positive

We previously used IBM Security QRadar but it did not provide the level of data ingestion we required so we switched to SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

We have seen a return on investment from SentinelOne Singularity Complete, based on our reduced time to detect and respond to threats, as well as the overall risk reduction to the organization.

Our organization is very satisfied with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, especially compared to other options available. It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most.

We evaluated CrowdStrike, but the way their deployment platform worked would not work for our organization.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

We just started using Ranger this week. So far, we've done small test use cases to see what our endpoints can communicate with. Ranger has identified a significant number of machines, including printers, other endpoints, and personal machines, which gives us a better understanding of our network security.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has come a long way. I believe it used to be called Power Query or even Data Set at one time. We're currently using the Skylight portion of Singularity Complete, which is a newer addition. Compared to where it was, Singularity Complete is now leaps and bounds ahead. It's the product we use when we need a lot of raw data and the ability to customize what we're looking for in our environment. The wealth of information that we get from every endpoint with the Singularity Complete agent installed allows us to create a large number of custom rules and alerts. This saves us a lot of time, especially for our analysts, who no longer have to respond to as many false positive alerts. 

We have a maintenance process in place for our custom rules and alerting. We have a dedicated team of members who are responsible for maintaining these aspects, but overall, we have not encountered any major issues that have impacted our team. A lot of this maintenance does occur outside of office hours.

With SentinelOne Singularity Complete, experiment and use it to its fullest potential, even if a mistake is made. It is a robust platform, so causing any serious damage is unlikely. Some specific features to play around with include custom roles, alerting, fields, power queries, search queries, data retention, and customized displays for the analysts. Tailoring the platform to specific needs will help get the most out of it. Singularity Complete collects a lot of data, so make sure to parse and categorize it in the most efficient way for the organization.

One of our use cases is that we wanted some type of visibility into our vulnerabilities and insight into our endpoints.

Ranger really helps us because, even though we're a smaller team of security professionals, it gives us a good eyes-on-glass approach. And if there is a known vulnerability, we can automatically see that without having to spend more time looking at it. In the past, we would do all of this manually. We would have to go into our systems and see which IP address is coming from the outside world and see the IP address, workstation, current version, hostname, MAC address, et cetera. Now, we can easily see that in the report that we get every day.

We used Rapid7, but Singularity has certainly helped reduce alerts. We have a threshold set in Singularity so that if one of our critical devices is vulnerable, we get automated email alerts. The alerts tell us what we need to look at in terms of logs and the like, and they help us automate some of our internal processes.

Personally, it has saved me a lot of time, about one-third of my day. And our mean time to detect has been reduced by anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. But our mean time to respond has been pretty much about the same. I'm logging into SentinelOne every day and I see what's going on. If there is anything that needs to be talked about with our sysadmin team to get patches rolled out, we have a meeting about it every week. SentinelOne, overall, has brought our organizational risk down by at least 35 to 40 percent.

It helps us with our compliance efforts too, especially for auditing. If someone asks, "Do you have a list of all your endpoints?" we can definitely say "yes." And if they ask, "How is it categorized, by IP address, workstation, or OS?" we can see it's on this particular network and it's made by that manufacturer.

With Ranger, we can see the device inventory, the networks, how many workstations we have that it's scanning, how many printers, how many mobile and IoT devices, and servers.

It identifies what applications are vulnerable. If I go to the applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Reader, I can see our current list of vulnerabilities: How many are vulnerable and how many need to be updated with patching. One of the most valuable aspects is the ease of finding specific vulnerabilities.

About every month, when I go into SentinelOne, if there is a vulnerability that we know about, I search for that vulnerability—for example, Adobe. There are different versions of Adobe, but I'm not able to compile them into one report. I have to create separate reports for those versions. Some of the reporting could be improved a little bit. I wish all Adobe products could be included together, or that you could mix and match Adobe with some other software or video player.

We have used SentinelOne for the last year and a half, and we're pretty happy with it.

I haven't had any issues with the platform. There hasn't been any crashing or lagging. Everything seems to be current. Overall, it's pretty seamless and I get really good results with it. I include it in my routine every morning and afternoon. I review the SentinelOne reports to see what vulnerabilities have been detected.

It is definitely scalable. You can really expand it and, for us, that is huge. As our organization grows, we will likely look at acquisitions, and, with those acquisitions, we will definitely get the other company's devices deployed through SentinelOne. It will allow us to grow and have their devices in the SentinelOne console as well, and have visibility.

I have contacted their support for a vulnerability issue, and they were able to help out with that. They told me how to get it remediated and what scan to perform.

It has helped us consolidate our security solutions. At one point, we had Rapid7 and SentinelOne. However, we realized we could take what Rapid7 has and consolidate it into one platform. At a high level, they're almost the same tool, but SentinelOne has a few more features and functionalities.

Also, we could see how many operating systems we have in our current environment through the standard image system we had. But now, we can see that through SentinelOne. That has been a key takeaway because we can see how many Windows, Linux, Apple, and Android devices we have.

In addition to Rapid7, we were looking at CrowdStrike for our endpoint detection, and at Sophos as well. Clearly, SentinelOne was the best for us.

SentinelOne is definitely a leader in the marketplace because it has a lot of features to offer. There are some pretty good integrations with it as well, and there are things you can change in the settings and how it's deployed.

The quality of the solution is great. I don't have any complaints other than that small reporting issue I mentioned. In terms of maturity, Singularity is one of the top-notch eyes-on-glass solutions that you can have, especially as it relates to your endpoints and vulnerabilities. It gives you that technical deep dive into what the vulnerability is, what workstation it's on, and whether there are any other endpoints affected.

There are some integrations that we could possibly use, but we haven't used any. There is one with KnowBe4 that we are looking to use.

As for maintenance, I don't have to do any in my role, but it does require some, such as upgrading versions.

If you're looking for a solution like SentinelOne, and you're looking to get an eyes-on-glass approach for your endpoint devices and your vulnerability management program, this could be one of your top solutions. Overall, I'm happy with it and my team is very happy with it. Our scans are fully automated and that is never an issue for us. It offers a lot of capabilities, expansion, and growth. If your company is looking to grow, it's definitely all there for you. You get a really good report on your devices and your networks.

It is an all-in-one agent on multiple operating systems that can detect malicious and suspicious activities. You can also use it to respond to different threat signals that you get from the platform.

There are multiple engines that run different types of detection, such as behavioral-type activities, that it can detect. It can also detect malicious activity based on a hash. It's a pretty great tool.

Overall, the level of detection and visibility we get have vastly improved, and that means the protection for our company has improved likewise.

Singularity has helped reduce the number of alerts we get. We were using FireEye at one point, and it was producing a ton of false positives. We have seen a major reduction in false positives, and that has saved our team's time. We have time to do other projects now.

In my previous company, we were using a Cisco product, and there was a ton of time wasted. Out of a 40-hour week, about eight to 10 hours were wasted, and with Singularity, we were able to get back about nine of those hours. Obviously, there are alerts coming in, and you have to investigate them, but the number was greatly reduced. In my current company, about 15 hours a week were wasted with false positives and wild goose chases and alerts. Now, we may put an hour into investigations. The great thing about SentinelOne is that you can get right down to what's going on with the events and deep visibility. It has saved us around 12 to 14 hours a week.

It's pretty quick when it comes to time to detect because you're right on the endpoint. Some agents have a delay in terms of when they report back to a console or a reporting server, but with SentinelOne, it seems that the agent is talking to the console right away. There isn't a huge delay.

Our mean time to respond is also very quick once we see the threat come in. It depends on the policy that is in place and the type of threat. If it is something suspicious, which we don't always have a set response for with the platform, we are able to easily look at what's going on a couple of minutes before the threat and what comes after. We can see the artifact on the endpoint, what is executed and what the user was probably doing. That means we're able to respond really quickly with all that visibility.

When it comes to cost savings, in the first company where I used SentinelOne, man-hours were saved, and it was cheaper to use SentinelOne than the Cisco product.

One use case where we've reduced risk has been due to users using something risky. They were trying to use an application that's like a keylogger. We've blocked it, and we've also created a rule using a star to detect when people are trying to use it. We have also set up rules to detect downloads of risky software, and that's protecting us too. It's protecting us from risk, but there's not a lot of reduction other than some protections and blacklists.

The deep visibility is a valuable feature. I can use it during threats or alert signals that we get. I can also use it when we have alert signals from other security tools that we have. I can use the SentinelOne platform to dive into those, even though there's no alert from SentinelOne, and zero in with a timestamp using its deep visibility to look at an endpoint and see if there's anything going on that might be correlated to a threat.

And Singularity's interoperability with other solutions has been a major bonus. You can put exclusions in place for other security platforms. For example, if you're using Symantec, you could easily put in an exclusion for that. The way that you can put them in, with the scope and the different groups, is really great. Singularity also provides pre-baked exclusions for interoperability with other pieces of equipment. For instance, for Microsoft SQL Servers, it already has pre-baked exclusions that you can put in for interoperability. It's far beyond the other platforms that I was using before.

In terms of ingestion, it's definitely taking in a lot of information at the endpoint level. You still need a human to do some of the correlation of the activities. The SentinelOne platform is looking at the endpoint, but you still need a human on the other end to analyze what the human at the other end of the endpoint was doing. But overall the solution does pretty well at correlating activities. I have seen some serious threats come in, and it definitely detects them right away with a pretty good correlation to the threat.

During my use of it over the years, they've been continuously improving it.

My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer.

And I'm on the fence about whether to keep the agents a little bit longer than they do, before they go end-of-support. That might be an improvement, but I'm not positive about that.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for about four years.

Uptime is all the time. 

I've only had one experience where there was a disconnect between the agents and the console. It was pretty brief, but that is when I opened a case with support. I had never seen that before, so the uptime is awesome. It's up 99.9 percent of the time.

It's very scalable. We are working on a special project, in which we want to set up a lab for a special event. I talked with our support, and they said we could set up another site. It's really scalable.

As I mentioned, I recently had a case because there were a lot of agents offline for a moment. Their support responded within one minute. That was an outlier. Every other case that I've opened up with them has not been a priority-one issue, but they usually respond within about five to 10 minutes, and they have been really great. I have not had an issue yet with support.

Everyone I've worked with in support is awesome. They always have the answers. Even if it's a complex issue, we usually get right down to it. I'm really happy with support.

Positive

I have used it in two different workplaces. Both workplaces were replacing platforms that just did not perform well and did not give you good visibility into what was going on on the endpoints. Both had a higher rate of false positives, and neither had the various detection engines that SentinelOne provides.

I was involved in the initial deployment of the solution in my previous place of employment and it was straightforward. It was only made complex by our own IT department.

There is a little maintenance. I check on a daily basis because you can build out multiple groups. When a new agent is deployed, I have it start off in a specific group to get the agent installed, and then it does a full disk scan. There is a little maintenance—and maybe no one else does this—but I log in and check for new systems. Once they have their full disk scan completed, I'll move them over to the production policy. You could do that on a weekly basis but I do it daily. The morning maintenance is less than five minutes for me, and you could definitely do that weekly as well.

I did it mostly by myself. I had another engineer working with me but that was it. It's really easy, a no-brainer. And that was for about 1,200 endpoints

I'm not a manager, but the return on investment may be in saving man hours.

When we were checking out different platforms we did get a price from Microsoft and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money.

I've used several different platforms. We had a demo of the Carbon Black EDR, and I've used the FireEye EDR, Symantec, and Cisco.

We did a comparison between CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and looked at Microsoft's EDR products.

As far as consolidation of security solutions goes, I have some suggestions for my leadership. I think we can definitely consolidate. For instance, we have a certain network segmentation where we have multiple security tools, including the SentinelOne agent and other agents on the devices. These devices are lower-end systems that don't have super-high specs like you might have on a power user's PC. In that area, we could eliminate one of the security agents and leave the SentinelOne agent. We would be covered in several different areas, such as FIM. I could create a custom rule to watch a certain configuration file, and if it changed, we would receive an alert. You can definitely use it to consolidate. Although we haven't done that yet, we're going to start because it's possible with the SentinelOne.

I believe we could save money by reducing the number of agents on those endpoints. If you walk that back to the yearly cost when we buy licenses, we should be able to save money on licensing for the other agent that we're using.

SentinelOne is very mature as an EDR platform. I would definitely put it in my top two. Across the breadth of everything I've dealt with using SentinelOne, even support, it's definitely top-two and you should check it out. I don't have a bad thing to say about it.

You definitely have to check out SentinelOne. They are firing on all cylinders for multiple areas that you want to consider when buying a tool like this. They're at 100 percent. When it comes to visibility, they present the information so that it's easy to read and understand. Responding is really easy to do. Support, which is a big factor nowadays, has faltered at some companies over the past four years, but support from SentinelOne has been awesome. Put SentinelOne in your PoCs. If you're looking at a couple of companies, you have to look at SentinelOne.

SentinelOne as a provider is a major player in hardening the protection of our environment.

We use Singularity Complete as our EDR software. It's replacing our old antivirus solution. It covers about 80 endpoints. 

SentinelOne has improved the overall security posture of the firm without creating a lot of hassle for our end-users. Everything is a bit more secure. We think Singularity Complete has helped us reduce our organizational risks. 

SentinelOne detects threats automatically and performs the remediation itself, so we don't need to constantly look at the logs. It reduces the meantime to respond because it automatically responds to the detected threats.

We started using SentinelOne Singularity at the start of this year, so it has been nearly seven months.

I have had no stability issues so far. 

We only started using it at the beginning of this year, so the number of users has stayed the same. I have no experience scaling it up, but it's easy to add more devices to the platform. I don't foresee having any problems with scalability.

We receive technical support from our partner, so I have no experience with SentinelOne support. 

We previously used Bitdefender as our antivirus solution. We switched to SentinelOne because we wanted to improve the overall security of our endpoints. SentinelOne offers more advanced and comprehensive protection than a traditional antivirus solution.  

We contracted with a partner to deploy SentinelOne, so I wasn't involved in the deployment. Our partner also handles the maintenance.

SentinelOne is more expensive than our previous tool, but we're hoping to see a return by saving money on recovering from some kind of incident.

I rate Singularity Complete a seven out of ten for affordability. It's more expensive than our previous solution, but it does its job well. At the same time, there is some room for improvement. Cheaper is always better.

Though Microsoft's solution was suggested, we only seriously considered SentinelOne. That was the one that stood out during research. Also, I heard from my peers that it was the best one, so I didn't look at other options.

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten. I recommend it. SentinelOne works as advertised. It's an innovative solution, but it's hard for me to compare it to other products because I don't have much security expertise. It's a mature solution that has no bugs that I've experienced. I have confidence in it.
