Shows network traffic and anomalies but needs to integrate deep analytics
The tool shows me network traffic and its anomalies.  Cisco MDR needs to incorporate machine learning and deep analytics.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I would rate Cisco MDR's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has 700-10,000 users for the product.  Cisco…

Presales Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed
I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool shows network traffic and its anomalies."
"The most valuable feature is that it works and isn't compromised. Other solutions I have used have all been compromised and SentinelOne is the only one that hasn't been compromised as far as I understand."
"The most valuable feature is protection against ransomware and malware."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"My advice to others is this is a solid product."
"The endpoint security software is great."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance, which is very important for us in our company."
"The initial setup process was straightforward, and deployment can take approximately half a day, depending on the company's size."
"The most valuable feature is that it works and is reliable."
 

Cons

"Cisco MDR needs to incorporate machine learning and deep analytics."
"My customers who use the tool mostly want a summary of the monitoring activities of the product in a report form...t can be useful for our customers to identify the threats and incidents encountered by the product."
"It is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."
"The tool needs improvement in clear communication and detection."
"There is always room for continuous improvement for SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high and I would rate it a four out of ten."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
