Reduces organizational risk, saves time, and is easy to deploy
Pros and Cons
  • "The anti-ransomware capability to analyze the threats and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
  • "When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools."

What is our primary use case?

We are a partner of SentinelOne and we provide demo proofs of concept to customers. Most of our customers use traditional antivirus software, which does not have the capability to perform zero-day analysis, block ransomware, or block zero-day attacks. SentinelOne, on the other hand, is an endpoint detection and response and endpoint protection platform solution, which means that it has the capability to block zero-day attacks, ransomware, and machine learning-based threats. SentinelOne Singularity Complete does not have antivirus technology, but rather it is an anti-malware solution.

Our customers switched to Singularity Complete primarily for security and ease of use. It is easy to install, troubleshoot, and upgrade. Singularity Complete is purely cloud-based for our customers.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Completes' interoperability is straightforward. They have easy API integrations with all major integration platforms, so it's simple. There are no complications.

SentinelOne can ingest and correlate data well. It has its own EDR and XDR technologies, so it provides threat defense, detection, and monitoring. The models work like a SIEM for endpoints, so customers can correlate logs, identify patterns, and visualize everything. It is very visible.

I deployed Ranger for one of our customers with a large infrastructure. Ranger provides clear network and asset visibility.

Singularity Complete was very helpful to our customers during the COVID-19 pandemic because many of their employees were working from home. When employees work from home, they often need to open ports from outside to active networks, which can make those networks more vulnerable to ransomware attacks. One of my customers had a traditional antivirus running, but it was unable to detect the ransomware. I deployed Singularity Complete to understand the attack pattern and block it. The customer was so happy with SentinelOne Singularity Complete that they renewed their subscription for four years in a row.

Singularity Complete increases the number of true positive alerts by detecting attacks that antivirus software misses.

Singularity Complete helps save time.

Singularity Complete has reduced the MTTD by ten percent.

Singularity Complete has reduced the MTTR. Where a traditional antivirus may take ten minutes, Singularity Complete takes two to three minutes.

Singularity Complete helps reduce organizational risk.

What is most valuable?

The anti-ransomware capability to analyze the threats and user-friendliness are the most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools. It offers a variety of Falcon tools, including deep inspection, while Singularity Complete does not have all of these features. It still sticks to EDR or EDP. Therefore, I need improvements to match the features that CrowdStrike offers, such as a higher level of vulnerability assessment and a better understanding of the IOCs in our system so that we can apply fixes.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs improvement on Linux machines. We identified a few issues with most of our Linux customers' machines. Specifically, the application is not working properly after installation.

A major area of Singularity Complete that needs improvement is the restart option. We do not need a restart after installing a CrowdStrike agent. So for organizations that are running 24/7 and can't restart their machines, we do not recommend SentinelOne Singularity Complete.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with SentinelOne Singularity Complete for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity Complete can scale easily. 

How are customer service and support?

Overall the technical support is good but we sometimes have difficulty getting a hold of them.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used CrowdStrike Falcon, but SentinelOne Singularity Complete is easier to deploy. CrowdStrike Falcon has many features and policies that need to be configured, while Singularity Complete is straightforward. It has a single policy and is very easy to deploy compared to CrowdStrike Falcon. However, CrowdStrike Falcon offers more features.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment is straightforward. We receive a URL extension from the company and we set the policies and install the agent.

I deploy the solution for POCs using 20 machines. We demonstrate the deployment methods, and the customer completes the rest of the process. We typically complete this task in two days. For larger organizations that have a lot of departments and branches, the deployment can take up to 15 days.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is cheaper than CrowdStrike but more expensive than any traditional anti-virus solution.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten.

The Ranger functionality is not that important because it is optional, and most customers already have a solution for understanding their environment.

I would say that 90 percent of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a quality product with only ten percent with room for improvement.

SentinelOne will not sell to organizations with fewer than 100 endpoints. Most of our clients are mid- to enterprise-level.

Maintenance is required, but the SentinelOne team maintains the cloud deployments, so we don't need to worry about it. The endpoint agents must be upgraded whenever an upgrade is available or when we have to fine-tune policies for customers to reduce false positives. One IT support person can handle any maintenance for the endpoints.

I suggest always doing a POC. If the customer is currently using traditional antivirus technology, they may not understand EDD, EPP, or EDR technology. Therefore, I always recommend a POC to help the customer understand these technologies. Customers should never implement an endpoint solution without a POC, because we don't know what endpoints are running on their system or how compatible the new solution will be with other endpoints. For example, if we are implementing a DLP solution, we should ask for a POC with all available agents, or we can deploy a test machine to understand the solution before implementing it in production.

Great malware hunting, reduces our detection, and response time
Pros and Cons
  • "Malware detection is valuable."
  • "SentinelOne's customer service has room for improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our antivirus and malware detection solution.

Very unique integrations that share data with security vendors via the API
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities."
  • "DLP support would be a good addition."

What is our primary use case?

Our company is a platinum partner and uses the solution to provide endpoint protection for customers. 

A few new customers require the on-premises solution but others use the cloud technology. 

What is most valuable?

The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities. 

Integrations talk to other security vendors and share data with the help of the API. No other product offers this functionality. 

What needs improvement?

The solution is a bit costly for some customers. 

DLP support would be a good addition. Currently, there are multiple vendors and agents on endpoints. The solution looks at data from a specific documentation view so it would be beneficial to use that same documentation to look at DLP. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for six years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable so I rate it a nine out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very easy to scale. Scalability is the best and the GUI itself is very fast with no issues. A customer with 10,000 clients still gets fast responses. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is very good and helpful in getting results. 

The turnaround time for solving bugs or finding workarounds for customers is quick. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is simple and the solution can be deployed using any tool. Vendors can also remotely deploy the solution.

If the solution is set up properly with the right policies and processes in place, then it won't require too many maintenance resources. Customers can also utilize the solution's NDR service instead of staffing that position. One technician can easily handle ongoing maintenance.  

What about the implementation team?

We implement the solution for customers. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly. There is a bit of pricing flexibility with the solution, but initial quotes can surprise customers. 

I rate pricing a six out of ten. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The solution stands out because has excellent detection and integration capabilities. In my opinion, the solution is better than Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto. 

What other advice do I have?

Customers are very happy with deployments and stick with the solution year after year.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Good protection and management provided by this product
Pros and Cons
  • "The protection and management provided by SentinelOne is good."
  • "I would like to see the reports from SentinelOne more customizable, as there are very few options."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne daily for endpoint protection and restriction on using USB devices. 

What is most valuable?

The protection and management provided by SentinelOne is good.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see the reports from SentinelOne more customizable, as there are very few options.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne for four months. I work as a senior network security engineer.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The management of SentinelOne is easy, it does not put too much burden on the machine. We will be upgrading to Windows 11 in the upcoming months, we will be able to better comment on stability after that.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our organization has close to 3,000 machines with approximately 2,000 users. It is easy to scale.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using McAfee prior to SentinelOne. McAfee has a wide range of reports and is more customizable than SentinelOne. We switched from McAfee because we were no longer satisfied with the support they provided. They were no longer providing prompt responses, tickets were taking too long to get resolved.

The other reason we switched was that McAfee was a traditional antivirus working on a definition basis. They have not moved on to the next generation of antivirus. McAfee needs to focus on the behavior of the program and machine files. If you want this, you need to choose a different McAfee product. They were not putting everything in one place, but rather offering a buffet of offerings, driving the cost up.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of this solution was simple. We did the setup ourselves, but did require a little help from the vendor.

I would give SentinelOne a four out of five for ease of setup.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment of SentinelOne is easy. If you calculate the installation of the product and make all the packages ready, it takes about a week. Implementation was another month to go through and replace the older systems and install the new ones.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing of SentinelOne is less than McAfee.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise anyone looking to implement SentinelOne to look before you set up. Know how many machines are working in your network and which type of communication they are doing, whether it is internal or on the internet. No matter what solution you pick if it is SentinelOne, Carbon Black, McAfee, or Symantec check the usage of your machines.

I would rate SentinelOne a nine out of ten overall.
