We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and SentinelOne Singularity Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The email protection is excellent, especially in terms of anti-phishing policies."
"It also gives me good visibility because, with Defender, I'm using a Microsoft product to defend Microsoft products. The integration was really seamless and I have wide visibility because it picks up almost everything. Literally, I can see almost every activity that happens, from the e-mail to the workstation itself."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the integration. It's a single console, so we don't have to switch around between multiple products. Another valuable feature is the ease of operations and maintenance."
"Defender enables us to secure all 365-related activity from a single place. It gives us visibility into everything happening in Outlook, protecting us against phishing and other email-based threats. Defender helps us detect any suspicious behaviors."
"At the moment we are satisfied with this product. It's a stable, scalable, and resilient solution for us."
"The initial setup was easy."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"The GUI is sometimes slow to fetch the device report and could be improved."
"The certification training for Defender for 365 needs to be deeper and incorporate Sentinel. I took all the security courses except one, and Sentinel isn't included."
"They have moved features from one console to another. Things have been moved around in the interface and it takes me time to find where certain features are."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
