Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT

I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

It integrates well with other platforms, is user-friendly, and is stable

SentinelOne Singularity Complete integrates with our other security solutions, correlating data from NDR, ADR, SIEM, and XDR tools. All this information is consolidated within SentinelOne, providing a centralized access point. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us streamline our security operations by consolidating multiple solutions into a single platform. We are currently in the process of acquiring a threat intelligence platform to complete our security stack. We use Ranger to monitor our network and track connected devices. This is crucial because it helps us quickly identify unauthorized machines connected to our infrastructure, including personal devices. We have additional security measures in place, but Ranger provides an extra layer of protection. It also alerts us if the SentinelOne Singularity Complete agent is missing from any new or existing machines, allowing us to take appropriate action. SentinelOne Ranger's agentless and hardware-independent nature is crucial for our environment with 26,000 endpoints, as manual management of such a large number would be extremely challenging. Ranger uses a multi-layered approach to prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We employ scanners, network configurations, and a risk scanner to assess devices, endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructures. Vulnerability reports and timelines for remediation are shared with device owners or custodians. This proactive strategy enables us to address vulnerabilities efficiently and secure our infrastructure. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has significantly enhanced our security posture. While no system is impenetrable, this solution has brought us closer to achieving a high level of protection, ensuring we maintain at least a 90 percent security level. Our team is dedicated to refining alerts and eliminating false positives from our solutions. Additionally, a team is responsible for identifying and excluding alerts from the solution. We can manually expedite this process by reviewing these elements and utilizing our security tools. We have been able to reduce the alert volume by 20 percent. Our 30-member Security Operations Center team has been able to redirect their focus to other tasks due to the time saved after implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us improve our mean time to detect threats, which we accomplish using the Vigilance service for detection and response. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us decrease our organizational risk. We utilize the Security Scorecard to manage our security posture, which has remained steady at 90 percent.

Integrates well with our existing SIEM tool and helps in identifying suspicious activities

The solution's integration with our existing security infrastructure is good. Whenever we have any alert in VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, we can easily that alert in our SIEM tool and check logs from the SIEM tool itself. VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is just a secondary security tool for us, and we are just monitoring the alerts from it. The solution's behavioral analytics feature helps in identifying suspicious activities pretty well. Whenever we have even a small thing, we get an alert. The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Performance-wise, the solution is doing great in terms of connecting to the host directly. Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours. A malware scan is something that we do only on Carbon Black for the old endpoint devices and servers. It used to take sometimes three days to perform. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."

"The solution is pretty easy to scale."

"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."

"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."

"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."

"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."

"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."

"The solution is stable."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"SentinelOne is a stable solution."

"It is a robust solution. It provides great visibility."

"It is purely cloud-based, meaning you don't need to have something installed, such as a server on-prem. You have cloud management and can access it from anywhere, with integration with SSO, with one click. It's also very lightweight."

"Most of the features are valuable. As a system integrator, agent deployment is valuable. It also fits the requirements of most of the clients."

"The hunting feature is most valuable for detecting malicious or suspicious activity."

"SentinelOne is very simple to install and very simple to manage. It's very aggressive, so it does protection well, and it seems to be stopping attacks that other solutions cannot."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete stands out for its threat-hunting abilities and the agility of its agents in detecting malicious content across our gateways and endpoints."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pros

"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."

"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."

"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."

"Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks."

"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."

"We can access computers remotely if we need to."

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."

"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint pros

Cons

"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."

"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."

"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."

"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."

"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."

"It is hard to manage."

"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."

"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"Email security should also integrate with it to get more visibility on it."

"The management console."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the best EDR in the market, but it will evolve, though I have concerns about using US partners in Europe due to the geopolitical context. It is better to work with European companies."

"Managing the alerts is a challenge. Singularity generates a lot of alerts and false positives."

"Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed."

"The solution’s distributed intelligence at the endpoint is pretty effective, but from time to time I see that the agent is not getting the full execution history or command-line parameters. I would estimate the visibility into an endpoint is around 80 percent. There is 20 percent you don't see because, for some reason, the agents don't get all of the information."

"There should be more integration models with different security operations tools or soft tools."

"Their CASB tool needs to mature. I think there are some CASB vendors out there that have a dashboard tool that's much more mature than SentinelOne. That would be the only constructive criticism that I have."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete cons

"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."

"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."

"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."

"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."

"Report generation can be improved."

"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."

"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."

"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."

"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."

"The tool is not that expensive."

"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."

"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is cheaper than CrowdStrike but more expensive than any traditional anti-virus solution."

"After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair."

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

"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."

"While the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Complete might seem high at first glance, it's important to consider the value it offers."

"I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete pricing and cost advice

"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"The platform is expensive."

"Overall, it was cost-effective too."

"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."

"The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."

"The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."

"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
