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."Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"Defender for Office 365 has helped eliminate having to look at multiple dashboards and that is the aspect I like most about it. It is simpler, effective, and convenient. The users like the process efficiency."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"I would say that 90% of the spam and phishing attack emails get blocked right off the bat."
"The benefit that stands out to me is the ability for multiple individuals to collaborate simultaneously within the same document. Additionally, there is the option to save the document directly in the integrated OneDrive or SharePoint."
"Does a thorough job of examining email and URLs for malicious content."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"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 incident and threat logs are great."
"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."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should be more proactive."
"The XDR dashboard has room for improvement."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"We need a separate license and we don't know how to get the license that is required."
"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."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
