Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…

AI-driven detection has accelerated phishing response and now protects endpoints without slowdown
The best features of SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response are obviously the AI-powered threat detection, which is the most sophisticated I have seen with any other tool. I also noticed that it does not affect the performance of the device, which is something great. I do not know how they have developed it, but it is really impressive. Additionally, I noticed deep visibility into the environment where we can track everything. If something is found, we can easily track it and get a bird's eye view of the overall attack visibility. The visibility feature allows us to easily provide root cause analysis to the respective people, which helps in faster incident investigation. We have seen great outcomes with SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response. First, we conducted a pilot proof of concept and noticed that SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response is very fast. Within a small amount of time, it is able to detect everything and protect the environment. The mean time to detection has been reduced drastically. For example, with other tools, when a phishing email comes in and an attack starts, we learn about these details later and cannot take a proactive approach. With SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response, the tool monitors registry changes and any suspicious executable files continuously. In our pilot use case, within five minutes it reported one suspicious activity involving high encryption from a phishing email. This is something amazing considering all the other tools in the market. The response capability is great. Earlier, we would learn about phishing and threats after two to three days. After conducting the proof of concept, we found that within hours we are notified about threats.

"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"SentinelOne is a comprehensive solution for protecting SOAP-based web services and AWS-based cloud infrastructure."
"The best features of SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response are obviously the AI-powered threat detection, which is the most sophisticated I have seen with any other tool."
"The rollback feature offered by the product is good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup process was straightforward, and deployment can take approximately half a day, depending on the company's size."
"The SentinelOne Active EDR is the most valuable feature."
"The endpoint security software is great."
"In our company, we use SentinelOne Vigilance for security purposes. We not only use it to detect viruses but also to monitor any activities on the endpoints so that we can take appropriate measures to mitigate any potential threats."
 

Cons

"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"I suspect that the areas for improvement may not necessarily lie within the tool itself but rather in our organization's lack of knowledge and understanding of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a complex area, and our organization has a skill set deficit. Therefore, we rely on our cybersecurity support company to help us manage the tool and handle incidents. Our limited expertise sometimes prevents us from fully utilizing them or identifying potential gaps."
"The solution should add endpoint clients for mobile and Linux devices because it currently doesn't support them."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"The toughest challenge that customers find is with the deployment and tuning of the product; getting it tuned properly takes some time, so that's a challenge."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"The solution could be improved by including a tool for removing the product when changing a device because now it is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response can improve by addressing lag issues in the UI and dashboard performance, especially during heavy investigations when alerts are high."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"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."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"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."
"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."
