We performed a comparison between Malwarebytes and SentinelOne based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: SentinelOne, which is generally considered one of the leaders in endpoint security, comes out on top in this comparison. Users say it is a robust next-generation tool that uses intuitive AI and machine learning. SentinelOne is equally effective with most every OS in the marketplace today and can support legacy and new environments too. Users say Malwarebytes lacks basic automation and AI processes, which are commonplace in most endpoint security solutions today. Many processes rely on manual follow-up, which makes the tool cumbersome and slow.
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The stability is very good."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"We have a preference for their receptor. It's good at finding many EFC files. EFC files could have a virus."
"The Storyline feature has significantly affected our incident response time. Originally, what would take us hours, now it takes us several minutes."
"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."
"It is easy to manage and install. It has a very nice graphical interface that is very intuitive when end users are using it. You don't have to follow or read a book about 600 pages to have knowledge on how to use it. When SentinelOne is up and running, you can easily find your way."
"I appreciate the network control as well as the device control."
"The hunting feature is most valuable for detecting malicious or suspicious activity."
"The tool saves 50% of the staff's time."
"We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The support needs improvement."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"The EPP solution lacks the sophisticated artificial intelligence required for automating reports and letting you know about things in real-time. It stops a suspicious activity in real-time, but it doesn't let you know in real-time. You have to look at a report, and then you find out that something is wrong. You have to manually kick off a scan. With the Advanced EDR solutions, Malwarebytes has the ability to alert you in real-time, but they still don't do automatic remediation or quarantining of devices. That is something that you still have to do manually. So, the endpoint protection piece, which is just like their basic endpoint protection, lacks AI. For the advanced detection and response piece, there is an add-on that comes with it, but it still doesn't go far enough in terms of automatic remediation of viruses. It won't separate that virus from your network if something happens. You have to manually go there and do it."
"The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities."
"They need to improve how we install the software."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but, there's nothing much else to do. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."
"It is difficult to manage users in SentinelOne."
"Although the SentinelOne firewall seems to offer potential benefits, in reality, it hasn't proven to be very helpful."
"Security could always be better."
"Maybe they can develop some firewall aspects for it to better protect us."
"As a cloud-based product, there is a minimum number of licenses that need to be purchased, which is unfortunate."
