SentinelOne Singularity Complete Reviews

We use SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our next-generation EDR agent to block attacks in our environment.

We had some issues at one of the companies, where they were unable to block a ransomware attack. In my opinion, the EDR agent that we were using at the time was outdated and primarily relied on identifying malware by its signature or hash. This means that it could only detect known attacks. I believe that this was the main reason why the agent failed to block the ransomware attack.

We have integrated SentinelOne Singularity Complete with Azure AD and Fortinet, and we are aiming to integrate the system with Mimecast. The integration is seamless when we log in with enough permissions we are ready to go.

Ranger provides network and asset visibility. The installed agents can scan across networks that they are in. We can also set Ranger to require a minimum number of agents on a site before scanning begins. This prevents Ranger from scanning home networks when someone is working remotely with only one agent. In the pilot program, we set the minimum number of agents to zero, so Ranger began scanning for other endpoints on the site as soon as it was installed.

Ranger requires no new agents, hardware, or network changes. It gives us much more insight into what is actually happening on our networks, which is what we were looking for. Additionally, the way that SentinelOne allows us to isolate protected endpoints from unprotected endpoints is very nice. It is a very easy step into a network access control solution without all the overhead of doing that. It is a very basic way to get on the same level.

At this moment, we feel that we are in full control of the stages of managed endpoints. We didn't have that feeling before, but now we know that if we don't receive an alert from the system after a while, then we can be 99.9 percent sure that nothing is wrong. When we do get an alert, we need to take action. It may be a minor or major issue, but we need to do something. Regarding new installations of agents on new endpoints, we had some initial concerns that the agent would try to block applications running on those endpoints. However this issue only occurred on 8,000 endpoints, and we were able to resolve it by setting up an exclusion for the affected application. This was minor work, but it used to take a lot of time to install new agents on new endpoints with our previous solution. Now, both IT and other departments feel confident that we are in control. This is a huge difference.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our false positive alerts. We used to receive hundreds of false positives each day until we implemented Singularity Complete, and now the false positive count is down to five per day. We also use the MDR services of SentinelOne. They are handling that for us, and we get a good insight into what actually happened. This is a huge difference.

Singularity Complete has helped free up time for our staff to work on other projects. Compared to the time we spent with the previous solution, we are now saving about 70 percent of our staff's time.

It has reduced our MTTD. It has also helped save our organizational costs. We are paying 20 percent less than our previous solution.

The user interface, ease of maintenance, and the efficient way to identify the root cause of an incident to see all the factors that contributed to it are the most valuable features.

The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents. The goal was to achieve full integration support, but this has not yet happened. The integration is incomplete.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for two years.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is extremely stable. We have not had any downtime on the cloud.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is scalable. To scale, we simply need to install agents, and the rest is taken care of by SentinelOne.

The technical support is quick to respond and provide answers.

Positive

We previously used Trend Micro but switched to SentinelOne Singularity Complete after a successful ransomware attack. We were already looking for a different solution because Trend Micro was time-consuming to maintain, difficult to extract information from, and generated a lot of false positives. We never felt in control of our security posture.

The initial deployment was straightforward. We first ran SentinelOne Singularity Complete in parallel with Trend Micro. This means that the agents can run in a monitoring policy or process, which sends us information about what the agent would block if it were in blocking mode. When we are confident that it is safe to switch to a blocking policy or policies, we can do so with a single click in the dashboard, and the agent or group of agents or all agents will start blocking. This is very easy to do, and we were able to deploy the agents to all endpoints in a matter of weeks.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a fair price.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not a static platform, and new features are released all the time. This adds new value to the product on a regular basis. Compared to other systems, which can be difficult to understand, Singularity Complete is seamless and easy to use. We don't need to do anything to activate new features, and we are notified by email when they are ready to use. It is then up to us to decide whether or not to use them.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a mature solution, and our organization is booming because of it. We're not experiencing the issues that we typically encounter with new companies or solutions.

We have 800 users and Singularity Complete is deployed across multiple countries and locations.

For maintenance, we need to ensure our agents are always up to date.

We decided to start using the mobile agents because they were part of our initial purchase. We have already taken the next step and are now looking into Ranger AD. We will be looking into this next year to increase our security level. SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a very easy-to-use product that provides a high level of security and is very usable for us. This is how most security solutions should work. I am very positive about SentinelOne Singularity Complete as our security partner.

I suggest doing a POC to see if SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the right fit.

We use Singularity to secure our workstations and servers.

Singularity has added some features to our security setup. It adds layers of protection to our security servers and workstations. One advantage of Singularity over other traditional antivirus products I use is that it doesn't use as many resources as other products. 

If you resolve them permanently, the solution can reduce the number of alerts. Some applications keep triggering alerts, and you need to remove them, or they will continue to do so. We need physical signatures to prevent them from alerting again in the future. We can reduce the alerts by about 80 to 90 percent annually. Our old antivirus wouldn't flag some applications as malicious, but SentinelOne detected them, so we removed those applications, and it reduced our alerts.  

Singularity has reduced our organizational risk by about 80 to 90 percent. We were able to address those alerts and remove a lot of malicious files that our previous solution didn't recognize. We saw a significant advantage in the first year. We've experienced a massive improvement in our mean time to detect. We have a large user base, but Singularity Complete performs better than our previous solution.

Singularity has the same features as other antivirus products, but it provides an added layer of security and vulnerability protection. It's also light on resources. Singularity doesn't use a lot of CPU or memory. We can consolidate our security solutions into one centralized platform, and monitor all our workstations and servers from one place. 

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. 

I have used Singularity for 4 or 5 years. 

I rate Singularity Complete 9 out of 10 for stability.

I rate Singularity Complete 9 out of 10 for scalability. 

I rate SentinelOne support 9 out of 10 because they're very responsive.

Positive

I previously worked with Sophos and ESET. The primary reason we prefer SentinelOne is that it doesn't consume a lot of resources. 

Deploying Singularity is straightforward, and it doesn't require you to restart the servers in the latest version.

Singularity isn't cheap, but it's worth what we pay for it. 

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete 9 out of 10 overall. Singularity performs as well as expected, and it's less resource-intensive than other products.

We are an MSSP.

First of all, it helps us with a better response to the end users. Customers are depending on us to make sure we are making the right call, and then we are leaning on SentinelOne to make sure they are giving us the right call by giving us the right tools.

Singularity Complete has absolutely helped free up our staff for other projects and tasks. The amount of time that we are spending doing work that does not keep us on target is just a waste of time. The more it reduces that noise, the better it is for us and our customers. We have been using it long enough, so it is hard to tell how much time it has saved, but we feel that we have a better solution than most of the competitors that we are dealing with.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce alerts over time. We do not have a lot of the frustrations that some of our competitors do, which is our advantage. We have been using it for so long, so we do not have much to compare it to in terms of alert reduction. We are also partners with a competitor. We had to do that for a contract, and we get a lot of false positive noise coming out of that one.

Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational risk, but because we have been with it for so long, it is hard to compare it to others.

Singularity Complete helps us save on costs. We continue to get more volume, reduce our costs, and reduce our waste of time, but it is hard to compare the cost savings because we have been using it for so long. We have smooth operations, and we are just keeping it going. We are enjoying all the added features.

SentinelOne is our main strategic partner when it comes to the protection of our customer's data. We have not had a bad incident, and with the reputation that SentinelOne has in the vertical we deal with, it is the gold standard. We start with that, and then we are viewed as more of a serious partner than some of the lesser products that are out there.

In terms of Singularity Complete’s interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and other third-party tools, we are an MSSP, so we have to deal with a lot of other tools. The integrations are huge for us. It sounds nice to say this is the only solution and you have to use x tools, but it does not work in the real world, so you have to have those integrations.

The overview is valuable. There are a lot of instances out there, but Singularity Complete cuts the noise down by giving us graphics and color-coding information instead of massive tech dumps. It helps us concentrate on what is actually needed versus just the noise. There is just so much noise. It brings us the information we need to look at quickly.

The improvement could be in terms of reducing more noise and continuing to cut that down. AI seems to be the big thing with Purple. We are excited to get our hands on that.

I have been using Singularity Complete since its inception. It was probably 2016.

Its stability is fantastic. We have no problems.

We have not hit the top end. We are probably running 10,000 agents and have not seen any degradation in the portal.

Their support is very good. We have not had anything come up against that, and our staff has learned to depend on SentinelOne, which, as management, is a little uneasy because we are operating without a net besides SentinelOne in some cases. What we are paying for it is worth it. There is this peace of mind. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

Positive

Years ago, we were probably running four to five solutions, but then we kept comparing it with them. We were like, "This is the noise we are getting from X. Let us load SentinelOne." The noise reduced with SentinelOne. That proof of concept worked for us.

We currently have an agreement with a competitor where we have to pick up the remaining part of their contract. That is not a place where we are going to increase our expenditure, but we are waiting for that contract to come to an end. The customer knows SentinelOne, but they are tied into another solution till the end or mid of 2024. We are just waiting for that. What makes SentinelOne Singularity Complete different from others for us is the peace of mind. We know we are covered, and we feel that we are covered. Anytime we have had an incident or event, they have always been there for us. They have responded quickly, and we have not had any flashbacks or second attempts at it. Usually, we could stop it the first time, and that has worked for us in all the years we have been with SentinelOne.

It is easier now than it was back then. We deploy it every month on somebody new. We have enjoyed that. 

Just yesterday, we had a customer convert from a separate partner to us, and that migration from company to company within SentinelOne was flawless. It was just us doing the migration. We have been there for so long, so we just bring it straight across. The process is very straightforward and easy. This partner of SentinelOne was going to uninstall the agents, and I paused them and asked them to just transfer. They had never gone through that before. We took that over and moved all the agents over without any loss of coverage to the actual customer.

For deployments, we have a staff of 40, but onboarding is a no-brainer.

We have seen an ROI. It is a very profitable investment for us. SentinelOne is very valuable, and with our price being lower than the expectations gives us a great margin.

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.

To someone who is researching Singularity Complete, I would say that you can read all the information, but the proof is in the actual work and the history that it has so far. We have got no complaints about the quality and maturity of this solution. 

Make sure you are comparing it to whatever you have because that gives you comparative data. If you walk in, sometimes, you do not know you are getting the best of breed right there.

It is a ten out of ten for me, and it gives me peace of mind.

We deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete as an EDR on our customers' endpoints for real-time monitoring and incident response.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our alerts by up to 15 percent.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has enabled our staff to redirect their time toward other projects and responsibilities. We do not have a dedicated SOC team, but we utilize SentinelOne to manage security incidents. The incident volume is manageable for our team to handle, and we do not require full-time staff solely dedicated to security tasks. Instead, we rotate incident management and response responsibilities among our team members.

SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our MTTD and MTTR. The initial and immediate response required to collect foreign evidence or logs is handled by SentinelOne. This provides us with the locations or parts where the infection spread and where the incident originated, which helps us in troubleshooting or at least getting a vague idea of where to start. We can then dive into the threat setting to see what kind of information we can gather from the logs. So, I would say that SentinelOne has assisted us in this way. Additionally, we have Proofpoint in our environment because we use it as a backup defense.

The real-time alerts, deep visibility, and threat-hunting modules are the most valuable features.

I am particularly interested in the new app vulnerability module that is included with the Singularity Complete edition. We are currently evaluating its capabilities to determine its suitability for our needs.

Given that SentinelOne is primarily a host-based intrusion prevention system, I would appreciate it if they would consider providing a comprehensive vulnerability assessment report that goes beyond just application vulnerabilities. Currently, the scope of the vulnerability assessment seems limited, and I don't believe it adequately covers the full spectrum of vulnerabilities that may exist on endpoints. This is a capability that I feel SentinelOne is still lacking, and it's the reason why users still need to rely on other tools for certain isolated cases. If SentinelOne could provide this functionality, it would eliminate the need to look beyond their solution for vulnerability assessment. Apart from the vApp component of Singularity Complete, I believe SentinelOne is already excelling in other areas. However, this is one area where I believe they could introduce additional features to make SentinelOne a truly comprehensive security solution.

I would like to generate a vulnerability assessment report that leverages the national vulnerability database or, if possible, calculates the CDSS score by conducting an endpoint assessment using the SentinelOne agent that is already deployed and resides on endpoints 24/7. I prefer not to deploy additional applications solely for information gathering, as the SentinelOne agent provides ample data for this purpose.

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Complete for three years.

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

I would rate the scalability of SentinelOne Singularity Complete nine out of ten. I have not encountered any issues when deploying for our clients.

The technical support is generally good, but there are instances when they need to consult with the development team before providing a resolution, which is understandable. However, there have been occasional issues with the IVR system not functioning properly.

Positive

I have experience using Cisco Nexus and the Nmap Scripting Engine to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen security postures. I have also used Wazuh, primarily for its comprehensive PCIBSS SOC and GDPR compliance reports, which provide detailed vulnerability listings and mitigation strategies. I believe this focus on compliance is crucial as cybersecurity standards become increasingly mandatory for businesses.

We discontinued using Wazuh because we were unwilling to pay $25,000 annually for a product that provided only CIS benchmark support, a basic vulnerability report, and essentially replicated capabilities we already possessed. I believe a Nexus subscription would be a more cost-effective alternative, costing only a quarter of Wazuh's price while still fulfilling our vApp exercise logging requirements. I am capable of conducting vulnerability assessments, applying patches, re-scanning for vulnerabilities, and proceeding to penetration testing. Our primary goal is to provide vApp capabilities to our clients, and that is where we are seeking a solution. If SentinelOne offered this functionality, we would not need to explore alternative options. However, since SentinelOne lacks this crucial capability, we must seek solutions elsewhere.

The deployment is straightforward. We have scripts to do the automatic installation while onboarding. The deployment takes no more than ten minutes.

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of ten. I've been using the solution for three years now. It's been generally reliable, but certain capabilities are needed in today's environment that are lacking.

Our clients primarily utilize Office365, we also assess Microsoft Defender for 365 to ascertain if it might be a more viable option, especially if clients intend to enroll with Intune and MDM. This option would be more cost-effective as it is already included within their existing licenses.

Most of our clients are small to medium-sized businesses. This is why the logs and the number of endpoints are not very high. So, unless we specifically require the use of Ranger, we don't need it. However, cybersecurity compliance standards are becoming increasingly stringent. As a result, we are looking into obtaining a solution that can help us perform at least the vulnerability assessment and patching tasks, along with complaint handling.

SentinelOne is an innovative cybersecurity solution. In terms of reputation, SentinelOne excels, particularly in passing third-party and independent audits. Having SentinelOne in our environment gives us the confidence to say that our EDR capabilities are well-managed. So, in that regard, SentinelOne is outstanding. Feature-wise, while SentinelOne's patch and new feature releases aren't always perfect, I would rate them an eight out of ten.

SentinelOne is a well-established product in the market. The addition of new features and modules to the existing platform is a significant step forward. The positive reviews of the product further reinforce its value.

The maintenance revolves around moving to the next stable version. Our standard practice is to always test the version before rolling it out. Therefore, internally, we generally update all the endpoints as soon as we have identified the next stable version. This is the only maintenance that is required, as we are using the cloud version.

SentinelOne is a reliable tool that we rely on. However, when it comes to strategic solutions, we need a tool that can provide us with the capabilities to have a broader discussion with the company's management. I'm not sure if SentinelOne can export reports that could be presented to upper management. If we are seeking management approval for a security budget, we can't simply base our conversation on an EDR solution. We need to address a wider range of security concerns as well. Another drawback of SentinelOne is its lack of support for SysLog from network devices. This is a limitation that often leads people to consider integrating SentinelOne with other solutions, such as a SIEM. My feedback is that if I have to deploy SentinelOne and pay $70,000, I would expect it to provide comprehensive capabilities so that I don't need to look for additional solutions. Otherwise, it becomes tough for technicians and the company as a whole to manage multiple solutions for different security modules.

I am not an end-user of Singularity Complete. I'm a service provider. We have a complete team that focuses on handling incidents from this platform for our customers. We are an extension of their team, and they outsource these tasks to us.

Singularity has multiple mechanisms to identify threats and transform them into incidents. The solution not only detects but also prevents threats. On the investigation side, it helps our analysts analyze events to understand exactly what's happening and why these events have been generated.  

Singularity helps reduce the number of incidents generated. We can configure it to reduce false positives, but we also need to implement a SOAR platform to automate the resolution of some frequent incidents. 

Singularity Complete saves us some money because we don't need to implement any other additional solutions. SentinelOne is more powerful than an antivirus and can secure the environment without the need to implement an IPS, IDS, or a next-gen firewall. It's a good choice for a medium-sized business. The solution reduces organizational risks in terms of the continuity of activity, maintaining confidentiality, and external threats like malware and ransomware.

The most valuable feature is the rollback functionality, which is highly impactful. We can roll back deleted or compromised files. The Ranger feature is also interesting. It enables the solution to visualize the logs and assets that are not yet covered by the platform. Ranger also enables deployments and revisions. It doesn't always work, but it's effective  90 percent of the time. 

Ranger doesn't require us to deploy an agent on our architecture or integrate anything. We activate and configure it, and everything works. You can choose to visualize assets that have no agent installed so we can get full coverage of all the assets. You can also tell it to block connections to any assets that aren't covered. 

We can identify activities and sensitive connections that we can isolate from the network. We can set all our agents to not communicate with certain IP addresses or assets without the agent. For example, we can limit IoT devices, surveillance cameras, printers, etc. This functionality is critical for covering the gaps. 

SentinelOne is making a lot of moves to acquire various companies, but the roadmap isn't clear, and it is still uncertain how the new acquisitions will integrate. For example, SentinelOne recently acquired a mobile security solution, but there is no real integration between the platforms. 

We also have a SOAR platform that helps us reduce the number of incidents that our analysts must handle manually. It would be nice if Singularity Complete had native security automation and integrated mechanisms to reduce the number of false positives. 

I have used Singularity for about three years.

I rate SentinelOne support eight out of 10. SentinelOne offers excellent support.

Positive

I rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete eight out of 10 overall. It needs some improvement in some areas, such as backup functionality and performance, but it's a good solution. 

We need to provide a form of antivirus for our cybersecurity insurance. The new term now is EDR or endpoint detection response. I tested out several vendors including CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Cisco. SentinelOne definitely stood out. My use case is pretty for much protecting all of my end-user devices and all of my servers on-premise and in our virtual environment.

We were trying to solve for visibility and license management. We used to use other products, and licensing became an issue. We would have issues where clients would not really be connected all the time. They would just randomly lose connection. And that was with McAfee. 

ESET was another one that we used in the past, and we just kept running the issues with the physical server. So having a cloud-managed EDR solution, the agent-based, cloud-managed solution, has worked very well for a few years now at multiple companies. It's the first thing I bought when I came to my new company.

I really like Ranger. I like the deep dive of Ranger in an incident section. Diving into each incident and being able to see complete visibility of when the action was taken against something that it deemed a threat is valuable. Using those incidents in Ranger is definitely up there on my list of favorite features. I have multiple locations all across the globe. Being able to separate my devices, per location, is super helpful.

It's good at ingesting data and correlating. It has zero issues with ingesting data with the agents installed. I've had no issues with that. Being able to go through and create exclusions for specific types of data, like SQL has been really tough in our environment. Being able to just go through and customize those exclusions and working with the support team is great. We also have Vigilance, which is another SOC that they offer. That's a fantastic service.

Everywhere I have an agent, it sees everything, and it does so when I deep dive into a threat or a proposed threat. It does pick out host names, and IP addresses, and it just gives you a really clear picture where you can read it.

I like that Ranger requires no new agents or hardware. Anytime you can keep it lightweight enough. If you add a function and you only pay for your yearly fee for an extra function without making changes in your environment, that's huge. 

I love the reporting. The reporting definitely helps me see the entire network and find what open ports are out there. I can work with my network team to get those things closed, which is fantastic. I like the ease of looking at the graphs and the reports.

The solution has helped reduce our alerts. Instead of waiting on a monthly basis and then executing a plan, I'm able to keep up with it all throughout and day to day. That granular control has left me very impressed.

It gives me peace of mind. My staff isn't really using it. I know I have 24/7 eyes on it. 

It has helped me reduce my mean time to detect. I would be lost without the tool. It definitely helps me figure things out really quickly. I can figure out the whole story very quickly. 

It helps with my mean time to respond. It definitely helps with that. I get an alert in my email immediately, which lets me just know that something happened to my environment. That's something that I previously did not have in my old tool set.

I do want to see Vigilance reach out with that Identity. I don't have Identity, however, it's a very good tool. There is another tool that I use called Purple Knight that does very similar things. I'd like to see adding Vigilance to the visibility of Identity. 

One thing I don't like is the exportable report. They're not as useful as I'd hoped they would be. I always feel like I have to finagle them a little bit before I can present them to the executive board. The reporting needs to be beefed up a bit more. Everything feels a little lacking. They're trying to keep it simple, yet it is a little oversimplified. 

I really wish it could be an app on my phone. If I could open up an app on my phone and get all the alerts or look at my environment and see the health real quick, that would be ideal. It doesn't have to be a full feature.

I'd like the ability to have text alerts, for example, if something gets quarantined. 

The website, if you are trying to figure out what all the products are, it's kind of busy. I don't know what all the products are. The marketing is a little tough to follow. 

I've been using the solution for three years.

I haven't experienced any stability issues. 

The solution is extremely scalable. It's super easy to push out to thousands of clients if you really need to. I haven't had any issues. It scales very well.

Usually, technical support is very good. They are very knowledgeable. It's usually 24 hours for a response. I've had a couple of phone conversations with them. Right now, we're going basically through email. They give me a ton of information. They're open to working with my third-party MSP. Right now, the MSP brought up a concern about a very specific function that needs a little bit more tending to in the exclusion arena. 

Positive

We had Defender at this company before.

I was involved in the initial setup.

The deployment is very straightforward. It's super easy to just download your agent, and you get your site token, you install, and you push it out. We use the PDQ at my last company. Here, we use SCCM. We push it out with the MSI, with the site token pre-installed. I see it on my dashboard. It's easy.

My last deployment was handled by myself.

The solution does not require any maintenance anymore. It used to be kind of a headache to go through and have to update the agent. And just to remember to do it. Now I get the email. It tells me there's a new agent out there. I go read up on what the changes are, which is great. Then I go in there and set up the auto-install on the agents, and it just hits them on the schedule. You only have to really pay attention to it once in a blue moon when a new agent is installed or there's a general release.

I installed the solution myself.

I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal.

I'm a customer and end-user.

I haven't really done any third-party tools. I've looked into their Identity tool which is one of the newer offerings that they have. It's a very nice offering. It is rather expensive. That said, it is very nice to be able to see Active Directory all in one pane of glass. Honestly, the hardest thing about my job as a security professional is having all these different tools so the more I can see everything in one area, the better it is.

The quality and maturity are important. The company is relatively new in the space, however, they are pretty mature in the market and pretty well-respected. 

SentinelOne is a great strategic partner. I can't see myself doing security without them at this point. They are one of the backbones of my security platform. They were the first pieces even before I bought Cisco Duo or Meraki. 

I'm excited to see where this will be in the next ten years. I can just see this platform just going crazy. I would love to see maybe a little bit more focus. We have to deal with a lot of sensitive equipment that run specific jobs and I love how SentinelOne, and specifically Ranger, is very passive in its ability. It complements our OT. I would love to see some way of getting away from the super expensive platforms of Tenable and bringing in some of these functions that Tenable offers from a scanning platform fully into SentinelOne in the future.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

This is a best-in-breed solution. If you're looking at anything in comparison, do your due diligence, do proof of concept between whatever companies you're looking into. However, SentinelOne is the best-in-breed.

We use the tool for malware protection and the XDR portion to track intrusions and possible exploitations.

I find the product very easy to maintain and troubleshoot. Their engineers are very helpful if you need additional assistance. It's one of the best products I've used. It's easy to use from my standpoint, both for troubleshooting and with the support we get from their team if necessary.

I find its interoperability with other solutions very good. When there are issues, because everything eventually has issues, the team is very good about running logs and finding out what portion is having issues. We can either exclude a portion of it or make it work. They find a solution.

We haven't had any issues with how we ingest or correlate data across security solutions. We use APIs and things like that to ingest data. For us, we haven't had any issues with the tools we use, but I can't speak for other organizations.

We now have threat hunting, visibility, and malware protection in one console. There are other portions we don't leverage because we choose to keep them separate, like our firewall, but we could if we wanted to.

The solution has helped us reduce false positives. We still get alerts, but I think they're more dynamic now. We have fewer issues with systems. It doesn't take as many resources, so we don't have outages caused by hijacking resources. We've probably reduced our issues with that by 90 percent from the previous program we were using.

The tool has helped free up our team's time. Especially when it comes to upgrades, I went from taking several months with the previous software to getting it done in a week or two for 15,000 to 17,000 assets. It's freed up months.

While I don't track mean time to detect specifically, I know it's very quick because of the way it detects intrusions. It's anomaly-based, not signature-based. It will flag something, review it, determine whether it's a false positive or actually malicious, and then quarantine it. It's pretty instantaneous. We've averted several ransomware attempts before they could infect anything.

Our mean time to respond has decreased significantly. The response is much quicker now, especially since very little gets reverted to us for handling. The Vigilance AI portion usually takes care of most of it, determining the severity of something and whether it needs human attention.

It has helped us save costs, particularly regarding fewer infections throughout the network. While I don't have exact numbers, we've had a reduction in costs associated with reimaging machines due to malware.

It would be nice to be able to adjust the canned reports manually and choose the specific data we want to report on instead of being limited to their pre-set reports.

I have been using the product for three years. 

In terms of stability, we have no downtime from SentinelOne Singularity Complete. We may have some complications with interoperability when we deploy something new that didn't get tested, but that's usually not SentinelOne's fault. It's usually because a third party changed something that had already been whitelisted.

We haven't had any issues with scalability. It scales very well from small to large. We're at 16,000 endpoints, and it's very easy to deploy and manage.

I've contacted technical support myself. Their response time depends on the severity with which you submit the case. For low priority, it takes about a day or two. For high priority, it's within an hour or two, according to their SLA. They're very prompt.

We switched from Symantec to SentinelOne Singularity Complete mainly because of cost and technology changes. Symantec wasn't changing quickly enough as technology moved toward the cloud, and things were going faster. Broadcom was still using heavy, clunky on-premises agents that used a lot of resources. SentinelOne Singularity Complete was new, next-gen, smoother, and quicker with less downtime. They manage their end in the cloud, so we don't have to maintain our console.

We saw the benefits immediately after deployment. The deployment was seamless, easy to learn, and easy to use—very intuitive. The initial deployment was pretty seamless and easy. It took us about six months to fully deploy, but that was because we did it in segments. We're a global organization with many different entities, so we had to do it segmented. It probably would have taken us a quarter if we had just set it out all at once.

The only maintenance we require is keeping our agents up to date. We do this manually because we go through a change approval process to ensure we don't introduce anything that will harm the system. We then test and deploy.

We used SentinelOne's guidance, but we did the deployment ourselves in-house.

My impression of SentinelOne Singularity Complete as a strategic security partner is that it's state-of-the-art, easy, and uncomplicated. As an engineer, I find the product easy to deploy, maintain, and efficiently. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

I advise new users to read the manual before they start using it. Understand all the different modules to utilize them as intended and get the best out of them. Also, use their support if you have questions before you deploy. Get a game plan and follow their recommendations.

Our primary use cases involve Endpoint Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response.

My positive experience with SentinelOne lies in its comprehensive version, allowing for rollback and replay of events, which is especially useful for EDR. The strength of behavior-based solutions like SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, CyberArk, and others lies in their ability to reveal the consequences of opening a file. Witnessing the impact of a virus gaining control over a computer or understanding the ramifications of opening a file adds a layer of insight.

It stands out for its seamless interoperability with other SentinelOne products and tools, facilitated by REST interfaces. This integration is particularly potent when connecting SentinelOne as an endpoint solution to firewalls like Fortinet, allowing the firewall to receive insights from SentinelOne clients. In today's landscape, where file transfers often occur through encrypted channels, traditional firewalls face challenges in inspecting these streams effectively. SentinelOne's endpoint security addresses this by analyzing downloaded files in their decrypted form, providing a crucial layer of protection. The bidirectional information flow between the firewall and endpoint security, enabled by SentinelOne's REST API, empowers proactive threat prevention and detection, contributing to a robust cybersecurity posture.

Utilizing SentinelOne has significantly reduced the number of alerts for us. We might have experienced more false positives and missed potential attacks without it. Its alert system is efficient, with a low rate of false positives compared to other solutions I've heard about. Managing alerts is straightforward, and the platform allows for creating white lists to handle false positives, such as those related to old printer drivers. The administration is user-friendly, offering features like multi-factor authentication for secure connections to the console and automatic updates within the SentinelOne interface.

It has proven to be a time-saver for our staff, significantly reducing the likelihood of falling victim to various cyber threats. By addressing the spectrum of attacks, from initial malware infiltration to potential worst-case scenarios like Active Directory compromise, SentinelOne has played a pivotal role. It effectively diminishes the probability of becoming a target for attacks that exploit stolen passwords, infiltrate the company's IT infrastructure, and escalate privileges, ultimately leading to severe consequences such as a randomized Active Directory.

The platform is user-friendly, easy to administer, and aligns well with GDPR requirements, which is crucial for us. What makes SentinelOne stand out is its speed and efficiency, consuming minimal computing resources. It operates by checking data only when it's accessed, synchronizing with the process that opens the data which is well-designed and effective.

I don't actively use SentinelOne's Ranger functionality because we haven't implemented it university-wide. While we've employed it in specific cases, my experience with it is limited. However, it provides valuable insights into past events, allowing you to trace the history of a virus download or malware activity. For instance, you might discover that a virus was downloaded two weeks ago using the Safari web browser, saved to the computer, and later opened with Excel, triggering certain actions before SentinelOne intervened. The ability to roll back such ransom actions is a valuable capability provided by SentinelOne.

It primarily operates on local machines, monitoring processes, and not always providing detailed insights, relying on external information to determine the nature of a file. This limitation becomes apparent in more complex scenarios, such as analyzing or assessing the content of files at the byte level, especially in cases involving files like Excel, where there may be some difficulty in discerning potential issues. They should consider incorporating a cloud-based service where users can upload suspicious links, documents like Excel sheets, or ambiguous files to observe their behavior in a sandbox environment. Currently, with SentinelOne, the process involves setting up a separate network and machine for this purpose, requiring users to upload the file and monitor its behavior on the dedicated machine. Offering a free and accessible service like this would be a noteworthy enhancement to their product, providing users with a convenient and efficient way to analyze potentially harmful content.

I have been working with it for four years.

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

I would rate its scalability abilities nine out of ten.

I am highly satisfied with their technical support; it is truly excellent. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Comparatively, SentinelOne has certain drawbacks, particularly when measured against CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike offers a free sandbox at hybrid-analysis.com, allowing the examination of links and downloaded files on a virtual machine. This proves especially valuable in assessing potential phishing emails. Uploading the file or link to hybrid-analysis.com provides a detailed analysis, complete with screenshots of what transpires on the virtual machine. This includes actions like the opening of links, prompting CEO impersonation attempts, and other background information. While SentinelOne may lack these specific features, its advantage lies in being an all-encompassing solution, whereas CrowdStrike functions primarily as a managed service, which may not align with specific preferences.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment of Singularity Complete involved some consultation, as we collaborated with a partner who facilitated the onboarding process with SentinelOne. While the partner occasionally provides support, larger issues are infrequent, and overall, the deployment has been relatively smooth. We have implemented it across various locations. There is some maintenance involved in managing Singularity Complete.

It's challenging to quantify precisely, but the implementation of Singularity Complete has significantly reduced organizational risks. Currently, we employ it on critical systems, constituting approximately fifty percent of our infrastructure.

Creating separate groups for various types of computers, like Windows servers and clients, enables efficient management and customization of security configurations tailored to specific needs. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.
