Enhanced network security with adaptable integration and really good support
We use FortiSandbox for scanning files and images that pass through our networks. It integrates with different devices, such as five adapters and other Fortinet devices It is time-saving and more secure. It saves us from a lot of antivirus and anti-malware issues. The adapter is beneficial as it…
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution extracts an attached file before reaching the user and notifies the user if there's something malicious in the attachment received along with an email."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"he solution's GUI is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Integration is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. You can integrate even third-party solutions so that they can send the information or files they quarantine through the FortiSandbox"
"You have access to a report as to what behaviors the example file entered in the registry."
"The real-time analysis capability of FortiSandbox is beneficial for email analysis."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox is faster than other sandbox solutions."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"It would be better if we could integrate FortiSandbox with endpoint security solutions."
"In general, maybe they are not updated to cover risks."
"The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."
"I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords."
"If you were to compare prices between vendors and manufacturers, you would see that the lowest equipment in the Sandbox line is quite expensive for a new customer."
"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"There is a clear roadmap for improvements, including enhancing capabilities with AI and seamless functionality in an MSP model for deeper visibility across multiple agencies. Further development is anticipated to continue enhancing the solution."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"The solution is unavailable at a lower cost and can be difficult to deploy."
"The solution is affordable."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution. We have an additional feature that is integrated with S5, which is working well."
"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
"There is a license to use this solution."
"The license for Fortinet FortiSandbox depends on the use case."
"There are additional costs, which isn't included in the licensing fee."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The price is affordable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
