Lead - Recruiting at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Reasonable price, scalable, useful for Malops detections, and helpful for layered defense
We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges. They should be proactive, but we have to chase them a lot. This is where there is room for improvement. They should be proactively serving their customers. We had some batch update issues, and we're still working on them. We are almost there, but it took a couple of email exchanges in order to achieve it.

it support at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Centralized threat insights have transformed how my team prioritizes and investigates incidents
SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response is a strong platform overall, but there are areas for improvement. The reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible to better suit different teams' needs. In some cases, having more detailed investigation guidance and clearer explanations for complex detections would help analysts, especially those who are new to the platform. I would also like to see broader integration with third-party security tools and additional customization options for alerts and workflows. These improvements would make it even easier to fit the platform into different security environments and operational processes. One area that could be improved is the availability of more advanced training resources and practical documentation. While the platform is user-friendly, having more detailed use case-based guides, troubleshooting examples, and hands-on learning materials would help teams get more value from the solution. Additional best practice documentation around threat investigation, workflow integration, and advanced features would also be helpful. Regular training sessions or updates with learning context would make it easier for administrators and analysts to stay current with new capabilities and improve their overall usage of the platform. One additional area for improvement would be providing more customization options for dashboard, reports, and workflow to better match different organizations and requirements. Enhanced automation options and more detailed guidance for complex threat investigation would also help teams get even more value from the platform. More frequent advanced training materials, real-world use cases, and updated documentation would be beneficial as new features are introduced. Overall, the platform is effective, but continued improvements in customization, learning resources, and investigation capabilities would make it even stronger.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us in layered defense, and if one of the other products does not capture what we require, it comes up in Cylance and vice versa, helping the overall security posture of the organization."
"It has a lot of things for Malops detections."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is a very stable solution."
"Valuable features in SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response are satisfactory, and compared to other solutions, we feel this is appropriate for our current needs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance, which is very important for us in our company."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is an endpoint security tool with quarantining, dashboards showing us information, and many capabilities like manual and automatic quarantine of environmental issues."
"SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response has had a very positive impact on my organization."
"Overall, the combination of ease of use, strong visibility, and efficient investigation capabilities makes it a valuable addition to our security operations."
"SentinelOne Vigilance has very good detection."
"I would rate SentinelOne's customer service and support a five out of five."
 

Cons

"Their support needs improvement. We have to chase the Customer Success Manager a lot to get things done. It should have more features in terms of portability. It should be more scalable on other endpoints such as mobile devices and BYOD."
"We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"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."
"I think their technical support has some problems with scanning on the Linux machine, but other than that, everything is fine."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't have a direct connection with MSPs."
"It is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The support response time is not the issue, however, sometimes, the answers provided are not fully satisfactory due to the nature of the technology and issue complexity."
"One area for improvement would be making the investigation interface easier for new analysts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"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 licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"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."
