We performed a comparison between SentinelOne and Sophos Intercept X based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: SentinelOne comes out on top in this comparison due to its easy setup, high performance, attractive price, and impressive ROI.
"Microsoft 365 Defender is simple to upgrade."
"It gives a lot of flexibility in terms of configuration and customization as per the business requirements."
"It's a great threat intelligence source for us, providing alerts for things it detects on the network and on the machines. We've used it often when there is a potential incident to see what was done on a computer. That works quite nicely because you can see everything that the user has done..."
"Many people don't realize that Microsoft Azure, Exchange Online, and the security and compliance portal all sync together. For instance, within the Azure portal you can set security restrictions and policies to help secure your tenants... The good part of it is that these products have already been integrated. When you sign on as an admin you have global admin rights and that gives you access to all these features."
"Among the most valuable features are the alert timeline, the alert story, which is pretty detailed. It gives us complete insight into what exactly happened on the endpoint. It doesn't just say, "Malware detected." It tells us what caused that malware to be detected and how it was detected. It gives us a complete timeline from beginning to end."
"The summarization of emails is a valuable feature."
"Having a single pane of glass for all Microsoft security services makes everything much easier. A security analyst can go to a single portal and see everything in one view. The integration of everything into one portal is a huge benefit."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is scalable."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"Sophos Intercept X is a very effective solution and its being cloud-based is a benefit. Wherever my users are, I can apply policies to them. In the era of mobility, when users are out of the office or they're in different locations, it doesn't matter."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the minimal configuration needed for the end user and the central view of all the endpoints. There are plenty of tools to control and manage the endpoints. Additionally, there is the capability of connecting the endpoint to the CLI."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"SentinelOne's auto-rollback feature is the most valuable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward and easy."
"What I like best about SentinelOne Singularity Complete is its web-based admin interface, which allows me to go into the platform, look at the entire organization, particularly all of the sentinels or endpoints, and manage everything from there."
"I really like deep visibility. Deep visibility is one of the coolest features of almost any tool that we use. The breadth of data that is collected there is valuable, and it gives us the ability to search back through literally tons of data going back a specific period of time."
"It has saved us from a couple of ransomware attacks already."
"Offers good protection against ransomware."
"The alerting features are the most valuable. We know that when something goes wrong, we get alerted instantly. That gives us a leg up. Even before the user knows what's happening, we're being alerted to step in and stop anything catastrophic from happening."
"The overall product quality is good."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"From an integration standpoint, it is always improving overall. With Security Copilot coming out, as partners, we are waiting for the GDAP support so that we can actually see Security Copilot on behalf of customers if they subscribe to it."
"The Defender agent itself is more compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11. Other than these two lines, there are so many compatibility issues. Security is not only about Microsoft. The core technical aspects of it are quite good, but it would be good if they can better support non-Microsoft solutions in terms of putting the agents directly into VMware and other virtualization solutions. There should be more emphasis on RHEL and other operating systems that we use, other than Windows, in the server category."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports."
"The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"It should offer better security updates."
"Should include additional integration."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"There are features that I would like them to add. They have little to do with endpoint protection, but if they could add encryption and DLP on, it would make it even better."
"The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges."
"Singularity Complete needs to improve its ability to granularly select and extract the executable files that I want to run."
"I rate Singularity Cloud Workload Security's stability a four out of ten."
"Communication and documentation could be improved."
"Managing the alerts is a challenge. Singularity generates a lot of alerts and false positives."
"If it had a little bit more granularity in the roles and responsibilities matrix, that would help. There are users that have different components, but I'd be much happier if I could cherry-pick what functions I want to give to which users. That would be a huge benefit."
"This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."
