Gabriele  Meneguzzi - PeerSpot reviewer
GRC Practice Leader at Stratos Analytics
Have improved operational control and simplified internal workflows through a clear user interface
The most useful features in IBM OpenPages are the workflow features and front-end. The workflow feature in IBM OpenPages is very flexible, easy to configure, and can help design every kind of process, while the front-end is very useful, clear, simple, and dynamic. The benefit of a centralized platform in risk management, such as IBM OpenPages, is that it allows sharing information and guarantees a central framework of risk and control. The dashboards in IBM OpenPages help with monitoring processes for different users and profiles, and we use the dashboard extensively to show the state of different processes to control them. IBM OpenPages integrates effectively with other tools and existing infrastructure for my customers as we integrate other tools, using APIs to match different information, though some other tools may better support integration. IBM offers Connect, an add-on for integration, but we do not use it, relying solely on API. The reporting tools in IBM OpenPages have very strong potential because they are linked with Cognos IBM, a business intelligence tool, allowing for very good and complex reports, though creating these reports requires skills in business intelligence to get the most out of IBM OpenPages.

Soc Analyst at Softcell Technologies Limited
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good in ORM and compliance, analytics, custom reporting, features for our board including risk management, and good support for Basel regulations."
"Everything about IBM OpenPages is valuable, particularly when compared to other solutions in the market like MetricStream, from which we switched due to its feasibility, user-friendliness, and performance."
"The most valuable features are the workflow engine, calculations, and security rules."
"The content, reporting, and workflow features stand out as the most valuable aspects."
"The most useful features in IBM OpenPages are the workflow features and front-end, as noted by Ian Francis, an IBM expert lab, with the workflow feature being very flexible, easy to configure, and able to help design every kind of process, while the front-end is very useful, clear, simple, and dynamic."
"With OpenPages, the risks and controls are registered and monitored continuously."
"IBM OpenPages saves time in my work as a developer."
"The ability to keep a record of internal incidents in the company, and also the monitoring of Key Indicators."
"Tracking down which devices don't currently have SentinelOne on them is the most valuable feature of the product."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory."
"The best thing is it has a secure shell command that you can use to get into any endpoint and do some jobs."
"SentinelOne offers one of the best software quotes and has excellent reviews and everything."
"Singularity Platform's real-time personalization feature has helped our customer experience strategies by allowing us to have different workspaces where we have custom views, and depending on the use case because we have many products that use Singularity Platform, they interact with the UI in different ways, producing different elements and giving us tailored views for different products."
"Their platform is really easy to work with."
"In the past, we were not able to identify a few viruses, but now we are able to identify them because of the machine learning feature."
"The tool has helped us streamline and centralize things with a single solution. We are a small organization with a handful of people managing multiple sites. It is a simple tool with an easy-to-use UI. The product has an intuitive and up-to-date GUI."
 

Cons

"Pricing! It's very expensive just for the licenses."
"I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information."
"IBM OpenPages could improve by adding more conditions to workflows, as some existing conditions might not work and can produce errors."
"Some self-relationships are not available in OpenPages' relationship model."
"It would be useful to have more out-of-the-box functionality, especially triggers and calculations."
"IBM OpenPages needs improvement in its UI. Currently, it is difficult to see the relationships (associations/parents) between all items unless you click on the item itself."
"IBM needs to work on pricing for organizations with around 100 users, as the licensing model is not competitive enough for SMEs."
"The reporting tools in IBM OpenPages have very strong potential because they are linked with Cognos IBM, a business intelligence tool, allowing for very good and complex reports, though creating these reports requires skills in business intelligence to get the most out of IBM OpenPages."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete itself is somewhat laggy and loads slowly at times."
"Native integration with the mobile console is an area that can be improved."
"With respect to product patches, it should have the ability to patch directly from SentinelOne, rather than be presented with a list and have to do it separately."
"The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents."
"I would like to see improvements in the hashes function, particularly in the hashes tab, as multiple hashes are difficult to add in the correct format in SentinelOne Singularity Complete for Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"The filtering features of the application management console could be improved."
"The "false positive" detection rate could be improved, if possible, but this should not increase the risk of the endpoint being breached."
"The adware and pop-up blockers have room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."
"The price of SentinelOne is on the higher side compared to other solutions, such as Symantec."
"The pricing appears to be pretty affordable."
"The pricing level for this service and application was very interesting for us. I don't know exactly what the price was, but apparently it was a big surprise that the SOC was also included in our pricing model."
"Its price can be lower because I'm seeing competition from another vendor who beats it on commercials."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."
"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."
