Room For Improvement

Cortex XDR needs improved UI, integration, affordability, monitoring, false positive handling, Mac OS support, and better AI features.
Cynet should enhance mobile support, integration, customization, usability, and AI features, with better incident data and third-party integrations.
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM struggles with stability, integrations, UI issues, high pricing, and requires improved support and automation.
Improving reporting and dashboard customization, along with the addition of real-time and exportable reports, would help SOC teams greatly.

The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products.
Pre Sales Architect at network techlab
If the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better.

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.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Consolidated security operations have improved detection speed and reduced SOC costs
There is room for improvement when it comes to the technical support quality and expertise of SentinelOne. Sometimes, the technical support team does not know how to resolve certain issues and takes time to respond, often requiring follow-up interactions within 24 hours. SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM can be improved in terms of support capabilities. Some logs from the server side need to be ingested. Secureworks was integrating with domain controllers and other systems, but SentinelOne still has some gaps. Some vendors cannot be integrated directly. For example, we are using Cisco Umbrella for DNS security, and we have to integrate it through an Amazon S3 bucket where we dump the logs and SentinelOne reads them from that location. For some Microsoft integrations, we must enable certain storage components and pay Microsoft directly to retrieve logs. There is no direct integration, so we must access the logs through that workaround. Previously with Secureworks, we had direct integration with Microsoft. Direct integration with Microsoft is not available now. SentinelOne needs to work on many product integrations to enable direct connectivity.
