Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
4.6
Fortinet FortiEDR offers enhanced security and ROI with minimal weekly effort, boosting visibility and customer satisfaction over four years.
Sentiment score
7.5
SentinelOne Singularity Complete cuts costs by boosting productivity, preventing threats, and reducing ransomware risks, offering quick ROI.
Since then, I have not faced any intrusions, which is one reason I chose SentinelOne over ESET.
We have not faced any attacks since we implemented it.
It has absolutely helped reduce our organizational risk.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.5
Fortinet FortiEDR's customer service is responsive but faces occasional delays due to broader reach and non-integrated support.
Sentiment score
7.2
SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers quick, knowledgeable support with remote sessions, though some desire faster, interactive phone or chat options.
For setting up some proper solutions for issues at the customer site, it can take about one week.
They do a great job of figuring out the problem and pointing you to generic documentation or working with you to fine-tune a solution.
We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.
A chat service would be beneficial.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.0
Fortinet FortiEDR is highly scalable for enterprises, though some limitations exist with external integrations and cloud environments.
Sentiment score
8.1
SentinelOne Singularity Complete scales efficiently, smoothly handling deployments, adding agents, and supporting growth across diverse IT infrastructures.
When implemented in a Fortinet environment with an existing firewall, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiManager, it is straightforward to install and scale by adding more EDR for endpoints.
It's all auto-scale and auto-categorized, configuring automatically.
The tool's built-in automation for deploying the agents works well for large infrastructures like mine.
My deployment is relatively small, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete works within those constraints.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Fortinet FortiEDR is stable and reliable but requires maintenance, with occasional issues like memory concerns and false alerts.
Sentiment score
7.9
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for stability, performance, and proactive updates, despite occasional third-party software conflicts.
After that, I stopped scanning the Cisco AnyConnect and switched to Fortinet VPN. Everything worked fine afterward.
It has caused problems with interoperability between third-party tools, which could lead to entire servers crashing or specific tools failing.
This indicates room for improvement in stability when interacting with other solutions.
Initially, there were issues, particularly on the management side, but now the console is much more stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Fortinet FortiEDR needs improved cloud security, automation, and user interface for better market acceptance and competitive advantage.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs improvements in updates, false positives, integration, pricing, customization, access control, and threat detection.
Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces.
The only thing that prevented the attack from succeeding was a free version of Malwarebytes.
Providing a single pane of visibility for the end user would be beneficial.
It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level.
 

Setup Cost

Fortinet FortiEDR offers competitive pricing but may have high setup costs, with potential savings through Fortinet's channel model.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides cost-effective endpoint security, with competitive pricing justified by its comprehensive and flexible features.
It's reasonably priced compared to other vendors' similar products.
If you want protection, you have to pay the price.
There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution.
They counted many of the instances and licenses as duplicates despite them only being alive once, which was frustrating.
 

Valuable Features

Fortinet FortiEDR offers robust EDR capabilities, efficient resource use, and seamless integration, ensuring scalable, user-friendly cybersecurity for organizations.
SentinelOne Singularity Complete is lauded for AI threat detection, automation, user-friendly interface, and efficient endpoint security without cloud reliance.
I have an advanced app providing visibility of all my endpoints, which was not the case before.
SentinelOne has a feature to decommission automatically, which has been fantastic.
There's also automation that gives my team free time, preventing them from having to look for every alert.

Featured Reviews

Jovan Jovanovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Collects valuable endpoint data with good analytics and helpful scalability
This is a question for the partners who implement and install it. I am not involved in the implementation process, so I cannot suggest improvements. As mentioned, this is a query for my presales team, not me. I am part of the security team lead, focusing mainly on sales. Regarding the product, Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces. In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one.
Vidya Shree - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to manage, zero-trust option and supports both Linux and macOS
SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS. All SentinelOne features were equally supported across Windows, Linux, and Mac, whereas CrowdStrike was more heavy on the Windows side. They did not support all features on Linux. The Singularity console provides a unified view. But we already had similar dashboards available to the ones we had engineered ourselves. So it's not a deal-breaker. For us, it was about supporting multiple operating systems. That was more important. So, these dashboards we have are third-party tools integrated with SentinelOne.
