We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Security and SentinelOne based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Both solutions received very positive reviews from users. SentinelOne wins out because of users’ reports of high ROI and advanced customer support.
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"The product does not slow down the machine."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"It effectively catches unwanted stuff. It has saved our bacon over many years."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
"In terms of the engines that SentinelOne uses, it has stopped various scripts from running and it's highlighted lateral movement that we weren't expecting."
"The overview is valuable. There are a lot of instances out there, but Singularity Complete cuts the noise down by giving us graphics and color-coding information instead of massive tech dumps. It helps us concentrate on what is actually needed versus just the noise."
"SentinelOne's auto-rollback feature is the most valuable."
"Previously, we had some processes related to incident response which required more steps. We needed to upload to VirusTotal, Sandbox, et cetera. Now, this process is shortened because all of the information we need is already in SentinelOne. We can briefly analyze and even respond from one management console. If someone has SOC, using the API, they can control everything. It's very cool. I think this is the future."
"The remediation and rollback features are pretty impressive."
"Device control and network control are valuable."
"It is a robust solution. It provides great visibility."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution is not stable."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The support needs improvement."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"There are some new antivirus technologies that rely on AI, artificial intelligence. ESET does not have this technology right now."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete."
"It would be nice if the console stored data daily, so that you could look at a timeline of events on a machine over a period of time, and currently this is not possible."
"The overall integration functionality for this solution could be improved."
"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."
"The application management needs improvements, but I understand that they are working on it. We talked to them a few months ago, and it is something they are trying to get up to speed and fix. This way, we will be able to disable critical apps or vulnerable apps through SentinelOne. We will be able to patch applications or disable applications through the Application Management tab."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end."
"SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics."
"There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful."
