We performed a comparison between SentinelOne and Sophos Intercept X based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: SentinelOne comes out on top in this comparison due to its easy setup, high performance, attractive price, and impressive ROI.
"A crucial aspect for our team is the inclusion of identity and access management tools from the vendor."
"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"Among the most valuable features are the alert timeline, the alert story, which is pretty detailed. It gives us complete insight into what exactly happened on the endpoint. It doesn't just say, "Malware detected." It tells us what caused that malware to be detected and how it was detected. It gives us a complete timeline from beginning to end."
"The integration between all the Defender products is the most valuable feature."
"The integration, visibility, vulnerability management, and device identification are valuable."
"Microsoft 365 Defender's most valuable feature is the ability to control the shadow IP."
"The EDR features are valuable. By getting the EDR features, we have more control over the device. We have information about events in real-time and more protection against zero-day threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. We can monitor every event or action that a device is going through. We can get an idea if it is something malicious or if we have to take any actions."
"The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good."
"This solution can be used with any device, mobiles, desktops, or any appliances."
"The updates and a lot of the day-to-day fiddling that you would have to do with it, can all be done from the cloud so it's easy to manage, and very easy to administer."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The key factor that attracted me to Sophos Intercept X was the multi-platform. I have multiple clients that have mixed environments of Mac and Windows. I am able to deliver a standard solution, regardless of the platform."
"This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"Very stable solution."
"We are able to write some custom rules on SentinelOne."
"In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature."
"The most valuable features include the agent installation and update processes."
"SentinelOne is preferred because of its great features and nominal cost."
"All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us."
"The user interface, ease of maintenance, and the efficient way to identify the root cause of an incident to see all the factors that contributed to it are the most valuable features."
"The product can scale as needed."
"The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment."
"The management features could be improved, particularly in terms of better integration with Intune, Microsoft's cloud-based management solution."
"The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."
"The only issue I've had is, when it comes to deployment, the steps I must take around policy setup. That is challenging."
"One of the biggest downsides of Microsoft products, in general, is that the menus are often difficult to find, as they tend to move from place to place between versions."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"There is definitely scope for improvement in the automation area. Because the solution is a SaaS platform, we don't have the overall ability to automate stuff.... There is no direct way to go ahead because it's a SaaS platform."
"The cost can be high if you want to build custom license packages. Another area for improvement is the policies. In Azure, we need to implement policies in JSON format, but in 365 Defender 365, it would be helpful to use a different format so we can customize the platform."
"Automated playbooks and automated dashboards would be preferable to the way the data is currently being presented."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"They should keep doing what they're doing. Both of them have entered the EDR/MDR space, and they're keeping up with their competitors. I have a hard time understanding why their capabilities aren't garnering more attention."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates."
"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"I would like to see a better control panel for the managed service side of it."
"The only concern we have is that there are a few features that were not readily available."
"The management console."
"The MDM functionality and maturity still need improvement."
"We need to analyze the threats and make decisions based on that, so the analytics could be better at analyzing exactly where the threats are coming from."
"SentinelOne needs to improve its endpoint deployment process."
"SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."
"Using the filters takes a little bit of time to get to used to."
