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

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Overall, SentinelOne Singularity Complete helps me consolidate my security solutions, as it provides strong automation, reliable support, and valuable rollback capabilities."
"I am particularly interested in the new app vulnerability module that is included with the Singularity Complete edition."
"We are able to write some custom rules on SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has shown a return on investment with its ability to detect threats at approximately 99% efficiency."
"We chose SentinelOne because of the protection it offers against ransomware, providing good security that gives peace of mind."
"The most valuable feature of Singularity Complete is the Ranger function."
"SentinelOne technical support is awesome."
"SentinelOne is preferred because of its great features and nominal cost."
 

Cons

"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"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."
"The setup process could be improved, and it would be good if artificial intelligence were added as an additional feature in the next release."
"One potential improvement for SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint could be enhancing the user interface during investigations, especially for SOC employees."
"One thing I don't like is the exportable report. They're they're not as useful as I'd hoped they would be."
"The "false positive" detection rate could be improved, if possible, but this should not increase the risk of the endpoint being breached."
"I would like to see a better control panel for the managed service side of it."
"There is an area of improvement is agent health monitoring, which would give us the ability to cap and manage resources used by the SentinelOne agent."
"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."
"With respect to product patches, it should have the ability to patch directly from SentinelOne, rather than be presented with a list and have to do it separately."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is a fair price."
"Its pricing is competitive."
"Its cost is yearly. It is not much costlier than other leading products available in the market. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."
"While the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Complete might seem high at first glance, it's important to consider the value it offers."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is fairly priced."
"When we were checking out different platforms, we did get a price from Microsoft, and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money."
"The licensing is comparable to other solutions in the market. The pricing is competitive."
