Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Technical Lead at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Simplified detection rules and SOAR workflows have improved compliance-focused operations

One improvement I am looking for is silent log source monitoring. If some feed or some host went offline or was not pulling any logs into Google Security Operations, I would want better visibility. Silent host monitoring would make a significant difference because it is very hard to track which host went down, and there are many false positives as a result. I think there is a lot of room for scalability improvements, particularly in the integration of third-party applications. Currently, I have to write a script and use a cloud run function to pull logs. If there were direct ingestion by simply providing an API key and some sort of client certificate, it would be much easier.

Automation has reduced alerts and freed the soc team to focus on faster incident response

Regarding mean time to respond, the improvements I see with SentinelOne Singularity Complete are that genuine files also get alerts. We are getting false positives, but we are also getting genuine true positive alerts. The improvement will be deep visibility because as I am using Splunk as a SIEM, I compare deep visibility with Splunk, but deep visibility has limited access with only a 14-day policy to retain logs. The improvement will be in overall policy management. The third point will be the complexity of policies. If we want some endpoints to use only USB or if we need to block USB on some points, the policy management is very complex. The fourth point will be that Mac OS and Linux don't have the rollback policy; that policy is only for Windows. These four points are improvements if SentinelOne Singularity Complete can address them. Data privacy and security when utilizing Purple AI is crucial for SentinelOne Singularity Complete, and SentinelOne Singularity Complete lacks in data security. Data security is very important in this world. In my organization, if we deploy SentinelOne Singularity Complete and we have integrated all the firewalls, all devices, and AWS devices to SentinelOne Singularity Complete, logs will be forwarded to SentinelOne Singularity Complete through SentinelOne Singularity Complete. However, SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have data security solutions such as Forcepoint DLP or 48 layer; SentinelOne Singularity Complete doesn't have that DLP solution. From the data security point of view, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is not good.

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Google Security Operations helps meet all the important regulatory compliance across all verticals."

"The most valuable feature of Siemplify is the playbooks that can be created."

"Overall, Google SecOps is a very useful service for security operations."

"The valuable parts of Google Security Operations include how easy it is to write parsers or detection rules, and it is well-advanced in the analytical part."

"Without hyperbole, I have never, in my entire career, encountered a vendor or a vendor community as awesome as Siemplify. Siemplify and the Siemplify Community quite literally made it possible for our SOC to increase almost five-fold in our number of clients and number of analysts and to go from a Monday to Friday 9-5 shop to a 24/7 shop all in the span of under a year and a half and all while continually adding capabilities and improving the services we offer to our clients."

"Google SecOps is extremely useful for threat detection and hunting."

"The playbooks feature in Siemplify is crucial for automation. We've utilized both standard and custom integrations with other security operation solutions, enhancing our flexibility. The user interface is generally straightforward, although recent changes may require some adjustment and Siemplify's integrations and capabilities offer potential support for various compliance requirements."

"The fact that this runs using AI instead of heuristics provides the best protection I've seen."

"I appreciate the network control as well as the device control."

"We have absolutely seen a return on our investment because it has created that first-level SOC, replaced McAfee and other tools, and they keep adding features that further increase the value we get."

"At this point, SentinelOne Singularity Complete delivers everything it promises to do."

"We find the solution to be scalable."

"We have had very few false positives or false negatives, which allows our analysts to focus on their work instead of dealing with noise."

"The security aspect is the most valuable feature for me."

"The 365 management and analytics from the cloud is another great feature."

Cons

"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The main improvement could be in the accuracy and detail provided in threat descriptions."

"I can give customer service a rating of six because it is very hard sometimes to keep up with the support."

"Building the playbooks could be easier and the integration could improve. It is a difficult process, such as what API connections need to be made."

"I'm inclined to say that I'd love to see some Machine Learning capabilities integrated into the platform, however, I just attended a demo this morning where Siemplify gave a sneak peek into some Machine Learning capabilities that they are currently developing and have roadmapped for release soon."

"We often encounter minor issues that could be improved, but we maintain communication with the developers and submit feature requests. Recently, I requested enhancements such as improved search functionality within playbooks and expanded options for exporting case data."

"Singularity's reporting isn't that great. The dashboards could be more customizable. It could be better integrated with other tools. SIEM tools provide better feeds. Singularity is a separate product altogether. It does not give enough information to integrate with different solutions to correlate better."

"SentinelOne can improve by having better integration with Active Directory."

"Singularity Complete needs to improve its ability to granularly select and extract the executable files that I want to run."

"We'd like to have a network map or scan to cover network security."

"The price is a bit high. They should make their pricing model more affordable."

"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."

"The area where it could be improved is reporting. They have some online reporting, but it would be nice to be able to pick and choose. When I'm looking at the console, I would love to be able to pull certain things into a report, the things that are specific to me."

"Initially, it creates a lot of false positive alerts, which can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

Information not available

"The tool's price is reasonable."

"The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year."

"It is very competitive with other solutions that are on the market. At least the last time we renewed, it was very competitive."

"Its cost is yearly. It is not much costlier than other leading products available in the market. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"While SentinelOne Singularity Complete carries a higher price tag than some endpoint security solutions, customers find its robust features and return on investment justify the cost."

"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."

"It's around $8 per client per month."

"The price is fair for what we are getting."
