Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk

Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Company Advisor

Automated protection has reduced our management time and keeps all client environments consistently secure

Reporting in Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could be improved. It has some reporting in it, but it's a little cumbersome to work with, so the reporting that is there could be improved. The analytics dashboards of Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) are quite useful, and they are nice in that we can see an overview very quickly and drill down into specific issues or specific clients. The dashboards are quite good, though it would be nice if we had the same with automated reports. It would be much more useful for us to have that via email or having a report. The only downside that we find is that the product is a little bit slow.

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe

Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited

Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response

Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has accelerated the response time for my security team, so we have been able to resolve issues faster than usual."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."

"We are using Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus for the threat protection and security of our network."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) pros

"SentinelOne Singularity has hundreds of features. The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use and threat control."

"In general, the solution helps to save time and free up staff for other projects and tasks, freeing up approximately 15% of staff time and reducing mean time to detect by approximately 10% and mean time to respond by approximately 20%."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has positively impacted my company by being hassle-free, providing good ROI, giving the best security with its rollback feature, offering extensive integration with other solutions, and using such a lightweight agent that it does not cause any system slowness."

"It has been actively blocking the threat and also correlates all the events using storyline, which has been pretty great"

"The Ranger feature is valuable."

"We have a preference for their receptor; it's good at finding many EFC files, and normally EFC files could have a virus, but we need to exclude some of them."

"The platform's ability to easily integrate with various other platforms is highly valuable."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete, from the end user perspective, provides the complete security protection, which is the first thing we are looking for."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"The onboarding process could be better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."

"The solution must improve its management features."

"Reporting in Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could be improved."

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."

"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."

"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."

"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."

"The overall integration functionality for this solution could be improved."

"In the beginning, we had some issues with their product on some of the Windows 32-bit operating systems."

"SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete could improve by having DNS filtering. Other competitor solutions have this feature."

"The basic functionalities should be up and running even during maintenance windows. I understand that it is a software-as-a-service model, but it becomes a problem if I cannot do anything when issues occur during maintenance."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete should focus on analytical data. Backend aggregation can make things faster in the front end."

"They need to improve how we install the software."

"SentinelOne's performance and the accuracy of its incident filtering could be improved."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete's price point is excessive compared to the functionality it provides."

"When we were checking out different platforms, we did get a price from Microsoft, and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money."

"The price of Singularity Complete compared to some of its competitors is competitive."

"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."

"The price is fair for what we are getting."

"It was cheaper than McAfee, which was a way to convince management to go with the solution."

"The solution is a bit cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro and more expensive than smaller solutions. Still, it has a pretty reasonable price point, as I appreciate the flexibility SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers."

"My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne."
