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

"One of the valuable features is its ability to detect new threats."
"The main benefit of Fortinet FortiSandbox is that it allows organizations to detect and prevent unknown threats from entering an infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the protection and the way it works, the technology is what I like the most."
"The most valuable features for me when it comes to Fortinet FortiSandbox are the integrity of the Sandbox and the power of the analyzing tool of the solution."
"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 very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox puts suspicious files in quarantine, analyzes for virus risks, and lets them out of quarantine if it detects no risk."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."
"There could be more templates and a higher number of simulated VMs to configure more use cases. Sometimes we need to configure many use cases in many different environments, and if the number of VMs that we configure is limited, we have to remove some and reconfigure the environment if we need another environment."
"If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"
"The use cases in Fortinet FortiSandbox are not good. It is difficult to upload a custom VM for Fortinet FortiSandbox. The integration of Fortinet FortiSandbox with other Fortinet or FortiGate firewalls is not good. VMs are already installed in the hardware and are working fine, but we tried to approve the custom VM many times but did not succeed."
"In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included."
"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."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive."
"I rate the product's pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"It is an expensive solution."
"There is a license to use this solution."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"The price of Fortinet FortiSandbox is expensive."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"The price is affordable."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
