Offers behavior analysis, improved our endpoint security posture but a lot of false positives where things are incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow
I would like to improve the integration process because a big selling point was the ease of integration within the Fortinet ecosystem. I would expect more built-in collaboration to allow for easier threat mitigation across Fortinet systems. The strength of FortiEDR lies in its overall ability to protect us from new threats. We have encountered issues with it as well. We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team. I would like to see improved heuristics so the system better understands what's legitimate and doesn't keep blocking it after minor updates.

Great threat detection and prevention capabilities, but needs to support more common development languages
SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us consolidate our security solutions. We can create use cases and workflows in SentinelOne, and analyze alerts and logs. We can also create custom policies based on our needs. For example, we can create workflows for post situations, or detect specific types of attacks, such as persistence or defense evasion techniques. We can use these techniques to create our own custom use cases, which can then be deployed in production to detect these types of threats. After deploying SentinelOne Singularity Complete, we were confident we would not face any endpoint security threats. SentinelOne was able to block the type of events that were a true positive. Sometimes, we have also received false positives, but SentinelOne should detect this activity. So, that was the expectation, and SentinelOne has met it. This is very helpful. SentinelOne Singularity Complete met our business needs and requirements. It was easy to deploy and manage as an administrator, and we can manage the console without having to constantly connect to the user or machine. We can do many things from the console alone, such as taking remote sessions, uninstalling any other solutions or products, and performing cleanup activities. This has been very helpful. We saw these benefits within one month of deploying Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete helped reduce the number of false positive alerts we were receiving with our previous solution. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us save three hours per day of our staff's time. The single console makes it easy to manage compliance, including health check reports and the applications we are managing. We were able to identify and remediate malicious files through the console, without having to resolve the issue directly with users or other teams. This is a significant improvement. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our MTTD and our MTTR. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped reduce our organizational costs by eliminating the need for other endpoint security solutions. It is a cost-effective solution that provides comprehensive protection. It has reduced our organizational risk by 90 percent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The stability is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"SentinelOne's managed detection response service Vigilance Respond is convenient for companies like ours with small IT teams. If something happens on the weekend, SentinelOne steps in and resolves the issue. It's a false positive 97% of the time, but at least they're resolved instead of hanging around for us to find on Monday."
"The most valuable features include the agent installation and update processes."
"The tool deletes the problem-causing process and prevents issues."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the STAR Rules."
"The best feature of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that you don't need to configure a lot with it because it provides an unmatched layer of protection out of the box."
"Its capacity to prevent new threats."
"Most of the features are valuable. As a system integrator, agent deployment is valuable. It also fits the requirements of most of the clients."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
 

Cons

"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The training for SentinelOne Singularity should be free. The solution has a lot of features but we do not know how to use them all. The moment someone purchases the solution they should contact them and provide them with a feature session on how to use the features."
"The only problem I have is they don't manually review the threat files. That's the only thing I'm concerned about."
"In terms of improvement, they should work on agents' updates because that is not a strong part. It's not their strong point. It's not straightforward to upgrade agents. I send them questions about it. They already worked on this and they promised that in the next release that they will show me their solution for it. But this year I have had complaints about agents' updates, that they aren't clear."
"The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities."
"Communication and documentation could be improved."
"I've had some issues with the specific agents, however, we are moving off of that particular OS that we were having issues with. Other than that, it's been a pretty solid tool."
"The improvement could be in terms of reducing more noise and continuing to cut that down. AI seems to be the big thing with Purple. We are excited to get our hands on that."
"The only concern we have is that there are a few features that were not readily available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"Offered at a high price"
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"There are no issues with the pricing."
"The pricing is good."
"The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike."
"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."
"SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is fairly priced."
"It's around $8 per client per month."
"The pricing is very fair for the solution they provide."
"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."
