Check Point SandBlast Network and SentinelOne Singularity Identity compete in the advanced security solutions category, focusing on network protection. SentinelOne is perceived as having the upper hand due to its dynamic behavior-based threat detection and effective support, despite its higher costs.
Features: Check Point SandBlast Network offers comprehensive threat prevention using AI/ML to catch zero-day threats and provides real-time scanning across multiple channels. It also supports zero-day and signature-based protections, excelling in forensic analysis and threat extraction. On the other hand, SentinelOne Singularity Identity is renowned for its behavior-based threat detection, ensuring rapid protection and reducing false positives. It also provides seamless endpoint protection and flexible integrations.
Room for Improvement: Check Point users highlight a need for better file type coverage, improved HTTPS inspection, and enhanced third-party integrations. Additional feedback suggests improvements in configuration and performance. Users of SentinelOne Singularity Identity express the need for a more user-friendly interface, intuitive exclusion management, and better support interactions. There are also calls for clearer pricing transparency and streamlined agent updates.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Check Point SandBlast Network supports deployment across on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud environments, offering flexibility. However, customers indicate a need for more engaging support and smoother upgrades. SentinelOne predominantly operates on a public cloud setup, offering streamlined deployment and use. Although their support is noted for needing quicker resolution times, it generally provides dedicated and responsive service.
Pricing and ROI: Check Point SandBlast Network is considered expensive, but the value in consolidated security management is appreciated. ROI is demonstrated through enhanced network security. SentinelOne Singularity Identity, though slightly above pricing expectations, is considered competitive and cheaper compared to some competitors like CrowdStrike. It delivers ROI by effectively stopping threats and offering a robust feature set.

Singularity Identity, a component of the Singularity platform, provides threat detection & response (ITDR) capabilities to defend Active Directory and domain-joined endpoints in real-time from adversaries aiming to gain persistent, elevated privilege and move covertly. Singularity Identity provides actionable, high-fidelity insight as attacks emerge from managed and unmanaged devices. It detects identity misuse and reconnaissance activity happening within endpoint processes targeting critical domain servers, service accounts, local credentials, local data, network data, and cloud data. On-agent cloaking and deception techniques slow the adversary down while providing situational awareness and halting adversarial attempts at lateral movement. Singularity Identity helps you detect and respond to identity-based attacks, providing early warning while misdirecting them away from production assets.
Singularity Identity’s primary use case is to protect credential data and disrupt identity-based attacks. The most valuable function of Singularity Identity is its ability to misdirect attackers by providing deceptive data to identity-based recon attacks. Additionally, it can hide and deny access to locally stored credentials or identity data on Active Directory domain controllers.
Singularity Identity also provides rapid detection and respond to identity attacks, capturing attack activity and feeding it directly to the Singularity platform’s Security DataLake for enterprise-wide analysis and response.
By implementing Singularity Identity, organizations benefit from enhanced security, reduced credential-related risks, and improved user productivity. It detects and responds to identity-based attacks, ensuring only authorized individuals can access critical identity data. With its cloaking capabilities to hide identity stored locally on endpoints or in the identity infrastructure and it’s ability to provide decoy results to identity-based attacks, organizations can effectively secure their sensitive or privileged identities, resulting in improved overall identity security.
