Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 3, 2026

SentinelOne Singularity Complete and Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] are popular in the cybersecurity market. SentinelOne has an edge due to its advanced AI-driven features and flexible pricing.

Features: SentinelOne excels with its real-time threat detection, centralized dashboard, and AI-powered behavior detection. It offers autonomous threat management with a lightweight agent. Dell Data Protection focuses on robust data encryption, extensive control features, and policy enforcement, appealing for data integrity and compliance needs.

Room for Improvement: SentinelOne could enhance its integration with other security tools and reduce false positives. Its rollback feature, while beneficial, might need refinement. Better user education about AI capabilities could help users fully utilize the platform. Dell, being [EOL], lacks updates, which affects support and security efficacy. It could benefit from improved automation features and a more modern interface to enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SentinelOne's cloud-based setup streamlines deployment and supports a fast response to technical issues. The platform is user-friendly, with customizable dashboards. Dell provided an on-premises setup, which was less efficient, with a slower customer service response, requiring more manual oversight.

Pricing and ROI: SentinelOne offers scalable pricing tiers, allowing businesses flexibility in choosing plans that fit their budgets, ensuring a better ROI. Dell, though providing strong security, required a higher upfront investment with less flexibility in cost management. The cost efficiency of SentinelOne makes it a preferred choice for varied organizational needs.

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.

Head of Network and Server infrastructure department at JSC Alfa Bank Ukraine

A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system

The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe

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

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."

"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."

"Technical support is excellent."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."

"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."

"It is a stable solution."

"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."

"It protects your machine, and it does an excellent job using AI to determine an attack and stop the attack. Its most powerful feature is prevention, and it can unwind ransomware activity as well. So, it is a really useful product in that sense."

"The XDR is a valuable feature."

"SentinelOne is a much better solution with better value and a lower cost than the McAfee ePO."

"The solution is overall very good in terms of protecting endpoints and servers from malicious activities, malware, cyber attacks, viruses, worms, and so on."

"This is a very good solution because we can easily correlate the logs from the gateway and SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, easily find out and get visibility on where the attack happened, how the virus came in, whether it is from mail or firewall or anything else, and easily monitor everything in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint."

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the rapid threat detection."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has helped reduce alerts for us by almost 50%."

"Its capacity to prevent new threats."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"There are some false positives."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."

"The restore feed needs improvement."

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."

"It is complicated to do certain tasks."

"The role-based access is in dire need of improvement. We actually discussed this on a roadmap call and were informed that it was coming, but then it was delayed. It limits the roles that you can have in the platform, and we require several custom roles. We work with a lot of third-parties whom we rely on for some of our IT services. Part of those are an external SOC function where they are over-provisioned in the solution because there isn't anything relevant for the level of work that they do."

"An area for improvement in SentinelOne is the search feature. You can't go beyond twenty thousand events, which ruins the task because it isn't enough when you're doing your investigation."

"If they can extend their product further on the DLP side of it so that I don't have to have another agent run exclusively for DLP production, that would be ideal."

"Interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and other third-party tools is an area where you can run into some issues. Because of the way the agent works, there are sometimes things that are blocked or prevented from happening that are not identified as a threat, and therefore, not alerted in the console. Sometimes, we do have to dig through the logs, run tests, and adjust the whitelisting or exclusions to make sure that other applications will run properly."

"Prior to the purchase and recent changes, experiences with SentinelOne's support and product were not positive."

"Some features could be more user-friendly; for instance, setting restrictions in the explorer for what level one must be to use it is not user-friendly and it is difficult to find what we're searching for."

"Sometimes it causes a blue screen and causes the device to crash. It causes servers or computers to crash."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"It is an expensive solution."

"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."

"SentinelOne can cost approximately $70 per device."

"While the cost of SentinelOne Singularity Complete might seem high at first glance, it's important to consider the value it offers."

"The license is per user."

"I rate Singularity Complete a seven out of ten for affordability. It's more expensive than our previous solution, but it does its job well. At the same time, there is some room for improvement. Cheaper is always better."

"The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly."

"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."

"We are on a subscription model by choice. Therefore, we are paying a premium for the flexibility. We would have huge cost savings if we committed to a three-year buy-in. So, it's more expensive than the other solutions that we were looking at, but we have the flexibility of a subscription model. I think the pricing is fair. For example, if we had a three-year tie-in SentinelOne versus Cylance or one of the others, there is not that much difference in pricing. There might be a few euro or dollars here and there, but it's negligible."

"I rate Singularity Complete four out of 10 for affordability. SentinelOne costs more than traditional antivirus solutions, but we get more out of it. It hasn't saved us any money, but it's an EDR solution, so we get a lot of value from it."
