A solid product for security, but the MSP program should be simpler
Their MSP program should be made much more simple. It's too convoluted in its process. They have two different kinds of people that sell their product. They have resellers and MSPs. A reseller would just be a company going and saying that I need licenses, and that in turn goes to eSentire, which then goes to the customer, and they do the transaction. We were on the MSP side. We were the ones who took a potential customer to eSentire, and we were the ones who closed the deals. We were the ones who went through everything, and in the end, it was just a notice saying that let's spin up a new tenant. That's the kind of difference we're talking about. From my standpoint, their MSP program, in general, needed to be worked on. It should be made much more simple. It's too convoluted in its process. I know it was in the process of being revamped, and as of the end of January, it was not finished. That was the last contact I had with eSentire, but I know that, at this point of the year, they were supposed to have rolled that new MSP program out to take care of all of the negative things. They were going through that process and making it much better. Once they get that implemented, they will be a good, solid vendor.

Effective integration and threat hunting capabilities boost operational ease, but interface improvements are needed
I would like to improve the dashboard in SentinelOne Singularity MDR, as it could be much better, along with the reporting structure. The granularity of policies and ease of policy management from the console could be made better, while my experience from a feature standpoint has been good overall. Regarding summary reports provided from SentinelOne Singularity MDR, I find the reporting structure could be much better in terms of granularity. Additionally, for C-suite executives, there can be more non-technical content that provides a bird's eye view of organizational risk posture, rather than just detailed technical analyses. This high-level perspective on the organization's risk would be highly beneficial at the management level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The managed detection response (MDR) product was the most valuable."
"The Managed Detection and Response (MDR) feature was really good and most valuable. We were handling very sensitive data, and we needed a quick response in real-time, which eSentire provided. It was also cost-effective, and their SOC team was very responsive."
"Being able to sleep well at night knowing that eSentire is guarding everything that goes in and out of your network was also a good ROI."
"We are still working on it, and you can't find a silver bullet solution, however, building your total security with SentinelOne included in your portfolio is a great thing."
"My advice to others is this is a solid product."
"I would rate SentinelOne's customer service and support a five out of five."
"SentinelOne Vigilance has very good detection."
"The most valuable functions are automated pricing and ensuring the console is clean."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Most of the next-generation anti-virus products, including SentinelOne Vigilance, have behavior analytics included, and this is the feature I find most valuable in the solution."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"From my standpoint, their MSP program, in general, needed to be worked on. It should be made much more simple. It's too convoluted in its process. I know it was in the process of being revamped, and as of the end of January, it was not finished."
"Its GUI can be a lot better."
"Its GUI can be a lot better."
"SentinelOne Vigilance's integration capabilities with other products can be considered as an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Regarding disadvantages of SentinelOne Vigilance, there is no local hub server that I can use to download the updates and signatures only once."
"The tool needs improvement in clear communication and detection."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't have a direct connection with MSPs."
"The toughest challenge that customers find is with the deployment and tuning of the product; getting it tuned properly takes some time, so that's a challenge."
"SentinelOne Vigilance could improve if it provided us with more control over the dashboard."
"My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer."
"The solution could be improved by including a tool for removing the product when changing a device because now it is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was cost-effective and not very expensive. Licensing was on a yearly basis. There were no additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
"The MSP model we were in needed some work. It was not MSP-friendly, which means that an MSP is going to say that I have five thousand endpoints that I will eventually get to you, but for now, we're gonna start moving and let me purchase a thousand. So, you buy a thousand licenses, and you ramp up to that thousand. When you're ready to move on, you buy the next how many. That's the way an MSP likes to work, whereas it was a little bit different with eSentire. You had to purchase specific amounts for specific customers. It wasn't very friendly when it came to pricing for MSPs."
"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."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"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."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
