Easy to use dashboard and interface, and it's easy to create exceptions
We would have used this solution for endpoint detection EDR, which we don't currently have. We wanted to see how it works with the discovery of the history of some things that might come up The dashboard is easy to follow and use.  The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed…

Helps reduce our MTTD and MTTR while improving our network visibility
SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs more connectors for integration with more solutions. It seems there are currently two separate installers for the same device, one in MSI format likely for Windows and another in a potentially custom EXP format. Ideally, these could be combined into a single installer. If that's not feasible, the EXP format could be used as a self-extracting archive that automatically installs the software using the MSI installer. This would eliminate the need for two separate agents and provide a more streamlined installation experience. SentinelOne endpoint protection enters a reduced functionality mode during certain resource-intensive events. This mode temporarily limits some features and may require a machine restart. In some cases, the agent might even get disabled. To restore full functionality, we need to re-enable the agent and reboot the machine, which can be inconvenient. Ideally, SentinelOne should improve its handling of resource usage to avoid these disruptions. The technical support response time has room for improvement.

We have visibility into everything, and integration with our SIEM enables us to efficiently SIEM activity
The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture. We tried to deploy it within our hybrid management, where the clients are on-prem and the feature is in the cloud, just like the Adaptive Protection, but it's impossible. We would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it. We want to be able to manage it in hybrid mode so that we don't have to migrate all the management to the cloud to use this feature. That's the main improvement needed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Their platform is really easy to work with."
"The single pane of glass is probably the most valuable. That is a big one. We could see everything from one view."
"The most valuable feature varies from client to client but having absolute clarity of what happened and the autonomous actions of SentinelOne are what most people find the most assuring."
"The ability to get queries by pressing the "tab" button is a plus for SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne also provides equal protection across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I have all of them and every flavor of them you could possibly imagine. They've done a great job because I still have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support. It can support legacy environments as well as newer environments, including all the latest OS's... There are cost savings not only on licensing but because I don't have to have different people managing different consoles."
"Scalable endpoint protection solution that takes seconds to set up per device. It has a rollback feature and offers good technical support."
"SentinelOne offers several valuable features for threat detection and response."
"It provides network and asset visibility for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced rate firewall protection, the URL filtering."
"One feature I found most valuable in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is the firewall feature on the endpoint. The firewall feature helps users handle virus outbreaks."
"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"In reference to zero-day attacks, we immediately get signatures from the Symantec site. That is good."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
"Setting up Symantec is straightforward. Our DevOps team handled the installation, so I wasn't involved, but it wasn't that complicated. They are competent people with certifications in anti-virus management. They didn't need any training or help from the vendor."
 

Cons

"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."
"I am not a fan of the UI and feel it has room for improvement."
"I would like SentinelOne to add a threat-hunting report and more UEBA features. They could add more SIEM functionality. It would be nice to have the ability to easily drag all the logs from the agents, so there's no need for multiple agents installed on the endpoint."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs to improve the integration capabilities with SIEM."
"My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer."
"SentinelOne is causing a problem with the data service that causes one of our applications to crash randomly. We're still looking for a permanent fix, but we have implemented a temporary workaround that excludes that application from the scan."
"The adware and pop-up blockers have room for improvement."
"It is difficult to manage users in SentinelOne."
"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"Any traffic coming through should be recognized whether it is a legitimate URL or not."
"The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture... we would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it."
"The deployment of Symantec components could be improved."
"An area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be developed more because competitors have started providing EDR and XDR functionalities, but in the product, those are still missing. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be lightweight. Currently, the product is very heavy when compared to other vendors. It takes up too much space on the hard drive and the memory."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"Offered at a high price"
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"The solution is not expensive."
"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."
"The pricing model is simple."
"The cost of endpoint protection is fairly reasonable."
"For our use case, the solution is affordable. There are not any hidden fees."
"It's around $8 per client per month."
"We have not been beaten in the market by pricing, so we have been feeling good about that. The discussions we have had over the years keep us at a very low price per unit. It can always get better, but we also know there is a cost to the backend."
"The solution's price/performance ratio is reasonable."
"Its cost is yearly. It is not much costlier than other leading products available in the market. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
