SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our endpoint security solution to detect malicious activity and unusual behavior. It is a great tool for analytics and forensic investigations, and it has a good feature for catching threats. I was particularly impressed with this feature.

We implemented SentinelOne Singularity Complete to secure our endpoints.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us consolidate our security solutions. We can create use cases and workflows in SentinelOne, and analyze alerts and logs. We can also create custom policies based on our needs. For example, we can create workflows for post situations, or detect specific types of attacks, such as persistence or defense evasion techniques. We can use these techniques to create our own custom use cases, which can then be deployed in production to detect these types of threats.

After deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we were confident we would not face any endpoint security threats. SentinelOne was able to block the type of events that were a true positive. Sometimes, we have also received false positives, but SentinelOne should detect this activity. So, that was the expectation, and SentinelOne has met it. This is very helpful.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete met our business needs and requirements. It was easy to deploy and manage as an administrator, and we can manage the console without having to constantly connect to the user or machine. We can do many things from the console alone, such as taking remote sessions, uninstalling any other solutions or products, and performing cleanup activities. This has been very helpful. We saw these benefits within one month of deploying Singularity Complete.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped reduce the number of false positive alerts we were receiving with our previous solution.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us save three hours per day of our staff's time. The single console makes it easy to manage compliance, including health check reports and the applications we are managing. We were able to identify and remediate malicious files through the console, without having to resolve the issue directly with users or other teams. This is a significant improvement.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational costs by eliminating the need for other endpoint security solutions. It is a cost-effective solution that provides comprehensive protection.

It has reduced our organizational risk by 90 percent.

The threat detection and prevention capabilities are valuable, providing development programming support that enables us to perform fair investigations. SentinelOne also provides security for installed devices for all operating systems, including Mac, Windows, and Linux, for users who cannot install SentinelOne themselves and need to connect with the administrator.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to support more common development languages, such as PowerShell and Python so that we can better use the solution.

In the release, I would like to have application management features and pre-defined command features that allow us to take control of the system. 

SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for six months.

I would rate the stability of Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

We have 24/7 support, but it is just moderate.

Neutral

SentinelOne is more secure and offers better scope for threat hunting on Linux than other security solutions, such as CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. SentinelOne Singularity Complete allows us to consolidate solutions and is easy to administer from a single console.

The initial setup is straightforward. After completing the proof of concept, we deploy the Singularity Complete solution for our clients. We install the agent and create group policies for detection and prevention. We use a configuration management solution to deploy Singularity Complete within five to ten minutes.

One person can complete the deployment.

We implemented the solution in-house.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete seven out of ten.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete's ability to be innovative eight out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a mature GUI.

We deployed SentinelOne Singularity Complete in one of our client environments with 13,000 machines and 1,000 servers.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete maintenance consists of daily monitoring for updates and prioritizing policies and requires around five administrators.

SentinelOne is a good strategic partner.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete makes it easy to perform operations and investigations.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an endpoint detection and response solution to detect advanced threats in memory and protect our environment from ransomware attacks.

We are ingesting data from Singularity Complete into our team. The integration between Singularity Complete and Splunk works well, pushing all alerts from Singularity Complete to our soft tool. We have also looked at other SentinelOne products, but we only use a few of them.

We use Ranger to detect rogue sensors by scanning networks for endpoints that do not have SentinelOne installed. We do not use Ranger Pro.

Ranger is used to identify endpoints that do not have SentinelOne installed, ensuring 100 percent coverage. However, we also use a network access control tool to verify that endpoints have the necessary security telemetry and toolsets installed. The NAC tool can either orchestrate the installation of missing components, quarantine endpoints or simply notify us that components are missing.

The biggest benefit for us, other than mitigating the risks, is that Singularity Complete has raised the bar for red teaming, compared to the previous tool we were using. Some of the agent coverage in the previous toolset was becoming a limitation, but Singularity Complete gives us better coverage and visibility, both for red teaming and in general.

Over time, Singularity Complete has helped to reduce alerts. At the beginning of the implementation, we had to spend some time training the system, accepting events, and so on. However, over time, the number of alerts has been reduced.

Singularity Complete has helped our MTTD by providing broader visibility into our environment.

We collect a lot of telemetry from Singularity Complete. We then use this telemetry to search for malicious processes, which we would not have been able to see before. In other words, in addition to the standard setup that we expect, we are extracting additional telemetry from Singularity Complet to identify malicious processes and other types of threats running on endpoints.

Singularity Complete can be improved by allowing for better nesting of policies. Currently, when we create a policy and want to apply two different policies to an endpoint, we cannot do so. Instead, we must create two separate policies and place the endpoint in each policy, even if the only difference between the policies is slight. This makes the policy nesting process cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, allowing for nested policies would be a valuable improvement to Singularity Complete.

The Endpoint Health telemetry could be improved. This is likely true of all tools, but I think it would be particularly useful for us to be able to see the sensor when it is running on an endpoint and starts to consume more memory, or if there is a memory leak. This would allow us to collect better telemetry on this topic.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for one and a half years.

Singularity Complete is stable, but there are occasional instances where the sensor monitors a specific process that starts to malfunction, which is naturally possible. In these cases, we need to investigate and add an exception to prevent the sensor from monitoring the process so heavily, if it is a valid process so that it can return to normal operation. Therefore, there is a significant amount of tuning required. If the tuning is correct, Singularity Complete operates quite well and is certainly stable.

Singularity Complete is scalable. We have 2,500 endpoints. I know other organizations that have over 70,000 endpoints.

We have technical support that we can access, but I think it could be stronger. Currently, we deal with some local support, but their knowledge is limited. I would like to establish a closer relationship with SentinelOne International support, especially for the upgrade we are planning next year. I was in Tel Aviv in June and July and visited the SentinelOne offices to speak to them about this.

Neutral

Our previous solution, Cybereason was not very good at detecting things happening in memory, so we were looking to replace it with SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The replacement had to be able to see things happening in memory and deal with ransomware attacks. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was able to meet our requirements.

The initial deployment was slightly more complex than our previous tool because we needed to understand and implement the exceptions. These exceptions included both standard exceptions and our own custom exceptions related to how applications behave. However, the complexity is justified by the better coverage and protection that the new tool provides.

Three people from our company were involved in the deployment, which took about six months. This included removing the previous solution and replacing it with Singularity Complete.

The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration. We make sure to benchmark the prices against other EDR solutions before renewal to ensure we are not overpaying.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

We started looking at the reception technology, but it was too much for us and required too many permissions. As a result, we did not proceed with it.

Ranger provides network and asset visibility, but we use other telemetry to build a data lake, which we then use to give us more holistic visibility.

Singularity Complete is definitely innovative. It offers better coverage of endpoints and sensors than our previous solution, as well as better coverage from red teams and other threats. It also provides us with much better telemetry from endpoints than our previous solution. This includes features that our previous EDR tool promised but did not deliver.

SentinelOne is a fairly mature product. I think we first looked at it about six or seven years ago when it first came out. It has definitely matured a lot since then. When we first saw SentinelOne, it had a lot of problems with automatically killing things without alerting us. However, we have definitely seen improvements in the solution from a product perspective. Additionally, there are now more modules and integrations available. We have looked at the reception part of it, as well as quite a few other pieces, including Rogue Sensor Pro. We have looked at a lot of little bits, so it has quite broad coverage in terms of what it actually will cover.

We have deployed Singularity Complete across the company and all lines of business, including our branches in South Africa and other parts of Africa. This includes approximately two and a half thousand endpoints.

Four people are managing Singularity Complete. Every six months we have to update the sensors. 

We have definitely told others about and shown them Singularity Complete, and we have told them that we are happy with it. When implementing Singularity Complete, we need to know what our expectations are and, obviously, test the solution thoroughly to prevent any negative outcomes.

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.

We have deployed SentinelOne Singularity on each end-user machine, as well as on the majority of our servers, utilizing it as an antivirus solution. Additionally, we employ SentinelOne Vigilance for our Security Operations Center. Moreover, we extensively utilize this solution across all our machines for tasks such as inventory control, asset tracking, and software monitoring. Furthermore, we have incorporated Ranger AD to enhance security within our active directory setup.

We use Ranger and Ranger AD. We incorporate the data from our SentinelOne Singularity into our SIEM. Moreover, in terms of Ranger, they are both accessible through the same console. When I click, the information is readily available. It's quite straightforward. Furthermore, concerning the transmission of logs to our SIEM, I don't believe we've ever encountered any problems with the initial setup or ongoing functionality.

Ranger offers visibility into our network and assets, which is quite significant. While other tools are available, having this functionality integrated is advantageous since we have it incorporated into a couple of our tools. This covers everything from our switches onward; although there are different options available, Ranger stands out because we are already using Singularity for other purposes. Hence, having it included is beneficial. While it may not be a decisive feature, it's something we always keep enabled.

It is important that Ranger does not necessitate new agents, hardware, or network changes. The fact that it's present, and functions seamlessly, alleviates any need for concern on my part. Furthermore, it effectively identifies new elements.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped improve our response time. In areas where we don't have twenty-four-seven support, VigilanceOne will take over. We use VigilanceOne through SentinelOne, and it ensures constant monitoring. This makes me feel more at ease, knowing that there's continuous surveillance. With the addition of Ranger, Ranger AD, and VigilanceOne, I believe we have gained better insight into our entire network. This combination offers us an added layer of comfort.

It has helped reduce our MTTD and MTTR.

It has helped reduce our risk overall.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is exceptionally proficient at alerting and identifying any anomalies or unusual behaviors on the machines. While we do encounter false positives, it has successfully detected several instances of malicious activities on the machines. Having the capability to gain insights across our network, observe all our machines, and have a centralized view of what's protected and where things are is incredibly advantageous.

The process of uninstalling and reinstalling older agent updates needs improvement. I am aware that the newer versions of SentinelOne that they have been working on are more effective. One of our major frustrations arises when we attempt to remove SentinelOne Singularity Complete from a machine and it only partially uninstalls.

The initial tier of support, when we call or engage with them in conversation, assigns a representative to assist us. However, we have occasionally encountered difficulties with the initial person, either due to their lack of knowledge or failure to follow through. In such cases, we have had to seek assistance from others or navigate through basic support on our own. Despite this, it appears that everything is progressing in the right direction. This is why we chose to renew our contract with them and even expand our range of products with their company.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for three years.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

My feelings are moderate towards the technical support.

Neutral

We had Sophos Intercept X Advanced Cloud Security initially. We had acquired all these tools through a different program. Despite having these tools, a virus managed to get through and bypass all our defenses. This is why we opted for SentinelOne Singularity Complete – we wanted to test the effectiveness of the AI-based approach compared to the traditional signature-based method.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. During the initial phases of deployment, we had a couple of helpful individuals assisting us with the solution deployment, which resulted in a relatively smooth process.

The deployment was carried out by two administrators collaborating with one or two individuals from SentinelOne. Subsequently, we needed to initiate the installation and verify the installs. Consequently, I assembled a team of technicians for this task as well. To be specific, there were around two administrators and possibly four to six technicians dedicated to checking and ensuring the proper functionality of the setup. This was necessary due to the replacement of the old solution across twelve hundred machines within a limited timeframe.

The implementation was completed in-house.

I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair. While it may not be a budget-friendly solution, I think it's reasonable considering what we are receiving.

We evaluated other solutions through online research, but we were recommended SentinelOne Singularity Complete by a company with which we were collaborating. Since the solution performed effectively during our cleanup process, we decided to continue using it.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has matured over the last two years and is a more complete product.

Moderate maintenance is required to keep up with the end users.

I do consider SentinelOne a partner. I do believe that their program is developing, but I wouldn't use them for all purposes everywhere. This is due to my mindset. Nonetheless, I do perceive that SentinelOne is increasingly becoming more of a partner.

We use the solution for endpoint protection. Our clients are fintech companies, banks, and other organizations. The tool helps to pick up malicious files in the endpoint and protects the endpoint.

The Ranger feature is valuable. It helps us manage variable assets in our environment. The endpoints and nodes have SentinelOne engines on them.

The product must provide the ability to update applications from the SentinelOne Management Console. Using SentinelOne Management Console to patch applications will be quite useful.

I have been using the solution for 3 years.

I rate the solution's stability 7 out of 10. I've only had issues with the agents once. I reported it through the management console.

We use the solution in endpoints in different departments across the organization. The tool does not require maintenance. We can auto-update it from SentinelOne Management Console. We can push the auto-update agent from the console. I rate the solution's scalability 9 out of 10.

The support personnel always want to share links instead of joining sessions. Getting them on sessions that would probably help resolve the situation is quite hard. They don't always want to do it. That's the only issue I have with them. When we raise a support case, they get back to us and point us to a link to a community guide or solution. They don't respond quickly if the problem requires us to join a virtual session.

Neutral

The initial setup is not complex. The deployment takes about 30 minutes. It is quite fast.

Our customers have seen an ROI on the product. It takes them 4 months to see ROI.

The tool's price is reasonable.

We are partners and resellers. Singularity Complete’s interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions is fine. I've been able to push logs into our SIEM solution. We used our API. It was quite easy to do. The API token expires, so we have to regenerate and integrate it.

The solution’s ability to ingest and correlate across security solutions is quite fast. I don't have any issues with it. The Ranger functionality provides network and asset visibility. It's quite important. We can identify when endpoints that are not permitted or allowed on the network are active. It helps us isolate or deploy an agent on the endpoints. It's quite useful.

Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It is used for existing agents or endpoints. We can also identify neighboring endpoints that do not have agents. It's easy because we do not have to do any additional configurations. It leverages the current agents that we have deployed across endpoints. It's a good feature. We need not deploy another agent to work for Ranger.

A computer that doesn't have an agent is vulnerable to exploits. When Ranger helps to find the computer and network, it helps to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised. We can identify and isolate the computer and deploy the agent on it. Singularity Complete does not reduce alerts.

The solution saves deployment time. We can push agents from the management console to the endpoint. It will save us time from physically going to the endpoint and installing the agent ourselves. The product reduces MTTD by 20%. The product reduces MTTR by 20%.

If an endpoint gets compromised, we will have to spend money. The tool generally helps us stay safe and protects computers. Thus, the solution reduces costs in the long run. Unprotected endpoints are risky endpoints. Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk.

Singularity Complete is quite a good tool. I'm quite confident in its ability to detect threats. It is good to have SentinelOne as a strategic security partner. People planning to use the tool must go for it. It's a good solution. It does what it claims.

Overall, I rate the product 8 out of 10.

We use it for protection and endpoint detection across our entire customer base because we are a managed service provider. It is also for endpoint protection of our internal machines. 

We have Linux, Mac, and Windows. It has essentially replaced our antivirus solutions. It is our full endpoint detection. We then work in and partner with our outside XDR and our SOC. We interface SentinelOne identifications and alerts into the SOC so that they can manage those for us.

It is very strong in terms of the ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions. They have added cloud capabilities. Some of that is through acquisitions, but a lot of it is native. It allows us to bring in data from everywhere, analyze what we need to analyze, and make sure that we are as secure as we can possibly be. When we have SentinelOne running in an environment, it always makes us feel more comfortable. We require it for every one of our customers. They may have a license elsewhere, but regardless of that, we essentially say that if they are coming on and going to be a customer of ours, we are going to remove whatever they have, and they are going to SentinelOne just because it is a far superior product that we have tested and evaluated.

With SentinelOne, we have not consolidated security solutions, but we have reduced our TCO because we do not have to support customers utilizing other endpoint protection solutions. We simply would not work with other solutions. We enforce SentinelOne to be the only endpoint protection solution that is monitored or managed by us. That obviously has helped our TCO in terms of the knowledge base and being able to support and protect our clients, but we have not reduced any applications or vendors that we work with because we stuck with SentinelOne from day one.

We have used the Ranger functionality a little bit. It provides network and asset visibility. It lets us see everything else that may be on the network that we may not already have an idea of. Just by having an agent in the environment, it lets us see additional switches that may have vulnerabilities or new machines that may pop up on the network that we are unaware of. There is a large benefit to that, for sure.

The fact that Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes is crucial to it being effective because a lot of different solutions out there require you to have something else running on the network to be able to perform the functions of Ranger. However, the way they designed SentinelOne, we can essentially have the regular SentinelOne singularity agent installed on a machine out there and enable the Ranger functionality on the agent. It will then do the work for us. Rather than having an additional appliance or an additional software service running in the environment to capture the information that we are looking for, we get it from Ranger. Ranger can help to prevent vulnerable devices from becoming compromised, but we have not used it this way.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete without a doubt has helped reduce alerts. With the policies that we enable across the board for our customers through SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we can onboard new clients, and as we onboard them, we are able to quickly and easily protect their environment without filtering through a ton of random alerts that are typically false positives when you are onboarding a new customer. That, to me, has been a huge benefit to having SentinelOne and reducing our overhead to manage the new customers that we are bringing on.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks by reducing the false positives that we get for our existing customers and when we onboard new ones. It obviously allows us some engineering time to be focused elsewhere. We have been able to do more automation and tie in other protection solutions into SentinelOne, such as our XDR with our SOC.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our mean time to detect (MTTD) without a doubt. We get alerts regularly from the console that get notified to our SOC and also internally. We are able to respond to those very quickly. In fact, on average, about 90% to 95% of the time, SentinelOne Singularity Complete automatically remediates the solution based on how it is set up with our policies. Therefore, we do not have to do anything other than verify that it was a legitimate threat that was blocked.

Our mean time to respond (MTTR) is a lot faster than what we experienced with other solutions in the near past. It is almost immediate. It sees the process kick off. It remediates it 90% to 95% of the time, and even when it does not remediate it, it alerts us immediately. We are not waiting for a weekly scan or a daily scan that the other solutions typically use because it is all in real-time with the Singularity agent.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk. It is one of those solutions that lets us sleep easier at night when we have it on a machine. Security, in general, is not set-it-and-forget-it. It is not a single layer. You have to have multiple layers. We have other solutions that we partner with SentinelOne to try and make the environment as secure as possible, but SentinelOne is definitely the starting point. It gets us protected, and it makes our lives easier with the device. We feel more confident that the device is secure from everyday end users who do not necessarily know the difference between a fake or a phishing email that has a fake Adobe or Word Document attached to it that they are going to download and try to run. It definitely makes our life easier, and in my role, it helps me sleep a little better at night knowing that all of our machines are protected by that, both internally and across the board of our customers.

The ability to quickly and easily identify threats on our machines is valuable. The fact that it protects the environment as a whole is also valuable. They have the ability to identify network nodes, and they have Ranger as a component of the solution that allows us to see the whole picture. We can see on what we have SentinelOne and on what we do not. There is always that concern that you protect what you know, but items can be brought into the network that you are unaware of because you are not sitting at every customer location every day or every office every day, so the ability to quickly identify anything new on the network has been a huge benefit to the application. It is something that they have added over time. It has been huge for us.

Interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and other third-party tools is an area where you can run into some issues. Because of the way the agent works, there are sometimes things that are blocked or prevented from happening that are not identified as a threat, and therefore, not alerted in the console. Sometimes, we do have to dig through the logs, run tests, and adjust the whitelisting or exclusions to make sure that other applications will run properly. It is very effective, and it protects our environment like no other solution that we have ever worked with or tested. It is very strong, but you have to get in and look at the visibility reports and the information in the system, in the console, and on the dashboard to really identify if something is being blocked and causing a performance issue for a customer or on a machine. They have the flexibility there, but it can be a little frustrating at times to find the needle in the haystack until you get used to the console and understand how it works. So, there are times when it can impede the ability of an application. The way I typically look at that is that the application developer or whoever developed the app is probably using some functionality that is not standard, and that is why SentinelOne is effectively not allowing it. The only issue there is that we do not always know that SentinelOne is not allowing it. It could be impeding the traffic for an application or a database connection, but we do not know that initially. It does not flag that as a threat or block anything, so there is no alert.

They have device and network control that they have added over time. It allows you to take over control of the firewall through the network control, and you can block and manage CD-ROMs and USB devices. One thing that I always thought would be beneficial for device control is the ability to enforce encryption on USB and external hard drives. You do not have to have a separate agent to handle any of that even if it is just tying into BitLocker on Windows devices or BitLocker To Go capabilities. To me, that would be a huge benefit to the product so that there is no other application, and you do not have to privately manage BitLocker settings for USB devices or external hard drives.

Between my current organization and prior organization, I have been using SentinelOne for close to nine or ten years.

We have not had any incidents where we have had to contact them for an emergency. There were no ransomware outbreaks and no major attacks or threats running through our environment, so I have not had to deal with that level of support. Typically, we reached out to their support when we had a question on interoperability or we were seeing some weird effects or an agent upgrade not wanting to push from the dashboard properly. For the most part, their support is pretty strong. The turnaround time is usually pretty good. We had only one ticket that had to be escalated above the initial tier 1 support. They get prioritized based on criticality, and even that ticket was closed within eight calendar days. To me, it was not a critical issue. I did not think it was an issue, but it took eight days. That was well within the expected time frames. I would rate their support a nine out of ten.

In the past, I have used Trend Micro. This was prior to endpoint detection times. It was more than nine years ago. I used Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Norton, and McAfee. I have also used ESET and Malwarebytes. Typically, we were using those in layered approaches. We put ESET and Malwarebytes on the same machine because they served different purposes, but I have not used those in nine or ten years.

By implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we were not necessarily trying to solve a problem. We wanted to try and find a best-of-breed solution that was more effective than legacy AV because legacy AV is based on somebody getting hit by the virus, and then it allows the fingerprint to be used to block hashes, etc. Somebody has to get hit, and then everybody else can benefit from that. That was the old model, and we wanted to go next-gen. We wanted to make sure that we were using something that could be as protective as possible on zero-day outbreaks. After reviewing many of the solutions out there, we felt like SentinelOne was the best of the breed. That is justified year over year, and that is why we have continued to stay with them both in my last organization and this one. When you review different reports that are out there every year, SentinelOne is the leader year after year.

It has helped us save a lot of soft dollar costs. I do not know if they offer it to everybody, but we have the ransomware insurance policy from SentinelOne that provides us a certain amount of reimbursements per endpoint should there actually be a ransomware outbreak. In all our time, we never had to use it because there simply has not been a ransomware outbreak on a single one of the machines that has SentinelOne properly installed on it.

We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay.

Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is an MDR solution. It is used mainly to detect advanced threats in our teams and on-site teams.

I have used two different vendors before Singularity. Each had its pros and cons. However, Singularity is the most complete tool for EPP and EDR. From a financial, operational, and performance point of view, it is very efficient to have a single solution.

Ranger is a good feature. The XDR functionality provides the timeline of the attack. The product provides deep analytics for threat hunting. My team uses it to detect incidents and for threat hunting. I like the app inventory feature. It is very good for detecting unauthorized apps by our security policy.

I have raised a couple of comments regarding the speed of investigating incidents and performing analysis by the MDR service team. We are a telecom company. We are sensitive to the information of the users. The speed of investigation of the MDR service team must be improved.

I have been using the solution for one year.

The product is pretty stable. It didn't create any issues on the endpoints, laptops, and PCs.

We haven't tried to scale the tool yet, but the solution will be scalable after we increase our license.

The support team is very collaborative. We have a dedicated account manager who is also a part of our support line. We do not face any delays or major inconveniences from the support team. I rate the support an eight out of ten. I will give it a ten out of ten when SentinelOne has better coverage in the Middle East.

I have used Kaspersky, CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black. After using these solutions for a year, I chose Singularity Complete. The other solutions are existing products and are leaders. However, Singularity Complete is better than them from a financial and technological perspective.

The initial setup is not complex. It's similar to any endpoint solution implementation. We require one staff to deploy the solution. We mainly use AWS as our cloud provider. We also use GCP.

We did the implementation ourselves. It was like any other solution. We faced similar issues. They were not big issues, though. It doesn't require a lot of technical expertise.

We have seen a return on investment because we have saved at least 50% to 60% since we bought the tool. It is an achievement when we get one solution instead of two at 50% less cost. It improved our KPIs.

The licensing is convenient, straightforward, and very clear. I care more about the breakdown of the license than the licensing itself. Some vendors have very complex licensing schemes. SentinelOne's licensing scheme is very clean.

Carbon Black has a competitive version of Singularity Complete, but it is not at the same level as Singularity Complete. It lacks features like threat hunting and Ranger. So, I chose Singularity.

We didn't have any major issues related to the integration. However, we had some issues related to the implementation on the server site. It was solved by upgrading the agents. Initially, we had a couple of issues related to integration, but after that, it was solved.

The solution gives us more visibility into alerts but doesn't reduce them. It might help after we conduct the patching and vulnerability management, but we haven't tested it yet.

Singularity Complete has helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. We have a full-fledged SOC team that uses SIEM tools. We use it to complement our SOC and our XDR and MDR solutions. We have Singularity Complete as a technology for further investigation and threat hunting.

When we get an alert from the SOC team, we use the tool to do the analysis and threat hunting in 30 minutes per incident. It is a considerable saving in the team's time because we have limited engineers and security analysts. The tool saves 50% of the staff's time.

The product has helped us save on operation and acquisition costs by 70%. We have replaced two solutions from other vendors with Singularity Complete. Singularity Complete has surely helped reduce our organizational risk. We had a lot of alerts from the previous vendors. Now, we see fewer alerts.

Compared to its competitors, Singularity Complete is very mature. It exceeds in some areas, especially in threat hunting. I have seen other solutions. They have very strong capabilities in detection but not in threat hunting. Singularity Complete makes a difference with our analysts when they perform threat hunting and threat analysis.

I like the product's vision very much. Everything has to be on a single agent, and the integration is very much worked on. It has a very good integration roadmap. It has a very complete and strategic vision. It doesn't sell only endpoint products. I like the completeness of its vision.

People who want to buy the tool must test all the features to see how they will get value from the product because it's very complex and feature-rich.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an antivirus product. We also use SentinelOne's product called Vigilance, which monitors and takes action on active threats in the environment. So, basically, if someone clicks a file, Vigilance recognizes it and takes action for us, providing recommendations and remediation steps. This is a huge value add, and it's in addition to Singularity Complete's ability to monitor threats on devices from the cloud and offer remediation steps.

Our previous antivirus solution was not providing adequate protection. Threats are evolving and mutating rapidly, making it difficult for older antivirus solutions to keep up.

We have not experienced any interoperability issues. Initially, SentinelOne flagged some older software that was trying to run, but we could allow an exception to continue using the software. SentinelOne would still scan the software's location, but it would not block the processes from running. This flexibility is very useful.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete gives us peace of mind when it comes to day-to-day threats, knowing that nothing will get past them and they are always vigilant in detecting and responding to active threats on the network. It helps us sleep better at night.

It does not produce many alerts, but it has reduced the number of threats we have. Alerts are good, but only if they are not too frequent. When there is an active threat, the alert is clear about what is happening, who is affected, and the name of the machine. The alerts are also concise.

It allows our staff to focus on other more important items.

SentinelOne has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR because we pay for Vigilance.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete reduces our risk of major attacks, lowering costs.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our organizational risk.

The fact that SentinelOne is actively looking for threats and runs them against the hash on the Internet to determine if they are malicious or not, is what takes it to the next level compared to other antivirus products. SentinelOne is more than just an antivirus software, it provides insights into threats and shows the flow of attacks. It also allows us to set policies in the cloud so that any other system that is affected by the same bug or virus will be automatically killed, removed, and rolled back. Cloud automation is truly amazing.

I would like to see a privilege access management feature added to SentinelOne Singularity Complete. This would allow us to generate alerts when users try to run applications as administrators to approve or deny these requests and create policies within SentinelOne. I think this would be a great addition to the suite, as it would eliminate the need to purchase a PAM solution from another vendor. It would also give us greater visibility into user activity, as the SentinelOne portal is already very good.

SentinelOne needs to improve its endpoint deployment process. To illustrate, compared to ConnectWise, a remote management software that also has some security features. In ConnectWise, we can generate an installation package based on a group and deploy the software to all endpoints in that group without the need for a script.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for three years.

I would rate the stability of Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Singularity Complete ten out of ten.

We pay for Vigilance, which is a 24/7 instant response team. However, if we did not pay for Vigilance and I had a question for technical support, they would usually respond within a few hours or the next business day, depending on the issue. I feel that they ask too many irrelevant questions when we are generating a ticket, but I understand why they do it.

We were using Carbon Black before, but SentinelOne Singularity Complete is much easier to use. The portal is more intuitive, the email alerts are more intuitive, and everything about it is easier on the eyes. It has a simpler view. Their cost was comparable to Carbon Black, but the solution was much better.

The initial deployment was moderate. It would be much better if SentinelOne had a better way to induct the site token into the installation process, rather than requiring users to create a script.

The deployment took a couple of weeks to complete and required two people. We captured 80 percent of the endpoints within the first day, and then it took a couple of weeks to catch the more subtle ones.

Nothing good is cheap, and SentinelOne is no exception. However, as a market leader with a great product, they don't have to be so timid with their pricing. I would like to see lower prices, but I understand why they charge what they do. It is what it is when it comes to SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

I would focus more on how the product is delivered and maintained. Maintenance of any type of antivirus product is always an important question when it comes to how to maintain this product and how to use it without dedicating a lot of resources to it. SentinelOne has just introduced an automatic upgrade feature for their client agent that allows us to set a policy to always keep our agents on the general mobility version. This will automatically upgrade our agents for us, saving IT a lot of time. Before, we had to manually upgrade our agents from the cloud, but now this process is fully automated. This is a huge value-added feature, and the agent is not very disruptive.

We have SentinelOne Singularity Complete deployed on our Windows servers across the country. Around 15 people are using the solution.

We must constantly monitor the portal to review items that Singularity Complete has blocked. Occasionally, we must decide whether to allow or deny access. We must definitely stay engaged with the portal, as it is not a fully hands-off solution. This is appropriate, as some interaction is necessary. However, the level of interaction required does not bother me.

If I were to recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete to anyone else, I would definitely help them understand these types of products. People who are looking at cloud antivirus are usually coming from on-prem antivirus, so they may be shocked by the price. I would help them understand that yes, cloud antivirus products cost more than normal antivirus, but they offer peace of mind. Once they understand this, they can start to appreciate the value of the product.
