Offers excellent support, stability, and flexible pricing
The support is very timely and accurate. I would rate the support as a nine out of ten. The response times from Binary Defense have been in line with the agreed-upon statement of work. They have consistently followed through on the features and promises outlined in their quotes and statements of work. We are pleased with our overall partnership with Binary Defense and hope to see the relationship continue to grow. A good enterprise MDR provider, like Binary Defense, should feel like an extension of your team. Their approach makes it seamless and ensures the client feels supported, which might not be the case with other providers.

Effectively ingests and correlates data from all our security solutions
SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively ingests and correlates data from all our security solutions, providing a unified view for better threat detection and response. SentinelOne Singularity Complete aggressively identifies and quarantines potential threats. It effectively catches threats that other EDRs might miss. Overall, we find this level of aggressiveness acceptable for an endpoint protection solution and are satisfied with SentinelOne Singularity Complete's performance. We saw the benefits immediately. SentinelOne Singularity Complete significantly reduces alerts by filtering out many false negatives. This allows us to identify actual threats as soon as they are categorized, separating true positives from the filtered noise. This helps us focus on the real threats, eliminating the need to sort through irrelevant alerts. The number of alerts has been reduced by 75 percent. It also helped to free up a significant amount of our time to work on other tasks. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has significantly improved our ability to detect threats, even those previously unknown. This advanced EDR solution provides alerts for any suspicious activity, regardless of classification, allowing us to proactively assess and mitigate potential risks. While SentinelOne Singularity Complete shows promise in reducing our organization's costs, the solution is still new to us and we haven't quantified the exact savings yet. It improved our organization's security posture by enabling us to proactively identify and neutralize emerging cyber threats, thereby reducing overall risk in the ever-present threat landscape.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our mean time to response has gone down. We're much faster with direct response and have more investigative capabilities than we did before."
"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."
"One of the main benefits of Binary Defense MDR is the ability to easily meet with their support team to discuss any issues we encounter."
"Among the valuable features are the agent, continuous reporting, and dashboard. It has all the features we need and we haven't had to customize it, other than turning on certain features that we wanted."
"Binary Defense is comprehensive. We see most of the questionable activity. Once you see things a couple of times and are familiar with the processes, you know what those are. The level of activity is definitely favorable."
"The most valuable part of Binary Defense is its team of cybersecurity analysts. Their analysts filter out the noise and only forward the critical threats that require a response instead of false positives."
"Binary Defense's most valuable feature is the 24/7 monitoring and threat hunting. Their team checks the latest breaches and how they're done."
"With Binary Defense, we don't just get an alert, but also a detailed rundown of why they're alerting us on it. They tell us what was executed, or the username, script, or IP. That way, we're not wasting time investigating."
"The rollback feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The protection and management provided by SentinelOne is good."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
"SentinelOne gives us visibility into various high-level vulnerabilities on every gateway on the network. It helps us prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We primarily use Singularity for its EDR functions. We're happy with that."
"The most useful feature of all is deep visibility."
"The GUI is really easy to use."
"One of the features that convinced us to adopt SentinelOne was that the solution can recognize and respond to attacks with or without a network connection. That is very important."
"I have found the activity timeline and threat analysis to be particularly useful."
 

Cons

"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."
"I would like to get more reports from Binary Defense about what they're blocking."
"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."
"If I were shopping for an MDR solution today, I would not only look for a company that has the ability to alert, detect, and remediate, but also the ability to integrate vulnerability management. That's a big thing that they're lacking today."
"It's sometimes difficult to know when to engage Binary Defense or TrustedSec, their sister company. TrustedSec is more focused on offensive security, as opposed to the defensive security that the MDR solution provides. It would be awesome if there were a better bridge between that relationship for when we need to get more proactive services or when we need to do a penetration test."
"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."
"We should be able to isolate devices faster. They should shorten the time between clicking on a device to contain it and carrying out the action. That would be a welcome improvement."
"While my understanding is that they're working on this, I would like to see some more of the quantification or reporting."
"The only problem I have is they don't manually review the threat files. That's the only thing I'm concerned about."
"The training for SentinelOne Singularity should be free. The solution has a lot of features but we do not know how to use them all. The moment someone purchases the solution they should contact them and provide them with a feature session on how to use the features."
"I would like to improve the reports because they are not so customizable and we would like more info from them."
"It has all the features that other leading products in the market provide. They should keep enhancing it based on the challenges in the market. I am fine with its detection capability, but they can work more on deep inspection."
"SentinelOne's customer support is sluggish and frequently fails to deliver sufficient assistance."
"The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities."
"There is an area of improvement is agent health monitoring, which would give us the ability to cap and manage resources used by the SentinelOne agent. We had issues with this in our environment. We reached out to SentinelOne about it, and they were very prompt in adding it into their roadmap."
"The area where it could be improved is reporting. They have some online reporting, but it would be nice to be able to pick and choose. When I'm looking at the console, I would love to be able to pull certain things into a report, the things that are specific to me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."
"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."
"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."
"Binary Defense has changed its pricing model from being primarily based on the volume of data to one based on escalations and incidents they handle."
"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."
"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."
"The pricing isn't that bad, it's very competitive. I don't feel that it's over-priced and I don't feel that it's under-priced."
"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."
"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."
"Its price can be lower because I'm seeing competition from another vendor who beats it on commercials."
"The licensing is comparable to other solutions in the market. The pricing is competitive."
"It is very competitive with other solutions that are on the market. At least the last time we renewed, it was very competitive."
"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."
"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."
