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.

"he solution's GUI is good."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."

"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."

"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
 

Cons

"It would be better if we could integrate FortiSandbox with endpoint security solutions."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor."
"For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine."
"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."
"The product is good but it could be speedier. In addition, it's quite complex."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."

"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
