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.

Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle
Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.
Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"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."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"Scalable endpoint protection solution that takes seconds to set up per device. It has a rollback feature and offers good technical support."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"It is great for security monitoring and blocking when needed."
"The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen."
"The overall product quality is good."
"SentinelOne is the next-generation EDR solution."
"At this point, SentinelOne Singularity Complete delivers everything it promises to do."
"SentinelOne technical support is awesome."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The price could be a little lower."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"SentinelOne could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to see improvements in the hashes function, particularly in the hashes tab, as multiple hashes are difficult to add in the correct format in SentinelOne Singularity Complete for Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools."
"The role-based access is in dire need of improvement."
"Regarding necessary improvements for support, there have been cases where support doesn't fully understand what I'm saying or sometimes what I request ends up being very redundant, because even though I manage many clients, when a case is opened for the same issue, they ask me for the same information even though it's already been handled before."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to see better alerting to let us know if there is anything wrong with SentinelOne working on the endpoint of the computer."
"We'd like SentinelOne to upgrade automatically. It doesn't automatically update the agent if some system has an older version of the SentinelOne. It has to be triggered from the console."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but, there's nothing much else to do. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"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."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"The price was fine."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a fair price."
"The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is competitive."
"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."
"The licensing is comparable to other solutions in the market. The pricing is competitive."
"I don't know about the licensing model. It seems easy, but it's not my area of expertise. I don't have information on how it compares to its competitors, but the pricing is per device."
"The pricing of the solution seems reasonable, we got a discount but it still seems reasonable. The licensing cost is $3 to $4 per endpoint and can be paid monthly or yearly, with the price changing according to commitment."
"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."
"The solution's price/performance ratio is reasonable."
