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.

Enhanced mobile security with visibility into app and website usage, but installation challenges remain

We use Lookout for mobile devices, such as phones It has reduced our risk around mobile devices. I like the security features and being able to see what apps and websites people are using. There is nothing we have come across that we've desired. We have been using Lookout for one year. The…

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

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."

"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."

"We have not had any issues with bugs or breakdowns."

"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."

"I have tried some paid tools, but I have found that Singularity Platform is far better than others, and as a log analyst and SOC analyst, I find it better than others."

"Having the capability to gain insights across our network, observe all our machines, and have a centralized view of what's protected and where things are is incredibly advantageous."

"The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the endpoint detection of threats, and it does not only rely on signatures for detection."

"It identifies what applications are vulnerable. If I go to the applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Reader, I can see our current list of vulnerabilities: How many are vulnerable and how many need to be updated with patching. One of the most valuable aspects is the ease of finding specific vulnerabilities."

"The solution works well in general."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint offers the best features in the market at an affordable rate, providing a secure solution."

"Malware detection is valuable."

"The setup is very straightforward."

Cons

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The initial setup requires a little bit of experience with configuration."

"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."

"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."

"I would like to see category-based web filtering."

"My biggest complaint is that when you're logged into the console there is the Help section where you can review all the documentation. But when you log in to the support portal, there is documentation there as well. They need to sync those two into one place so that I don't have to search in two different locations for an answer."

"I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

"To improve SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint, I suggest enhancing the dashboard and reporting functionalities for better customization, making it easier for management to access tailored reports."

"I believe SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint is a strong security platform, but areas for improvement include reporting and dashboard customization, as well as providing more advanced threat hunting queries and easier navigation for new users, which would enhance the overall experience."

"The false positive rate has room for improvement."

"The biggest thing for me in terms of improvements is the online console. There are frequent updates, and sometimes we'll get a little agitated getting signed in."

"Their CASB tool needs to mature. I think there are some CASB vendors out there that have a dashboard tool that's much more mature than SentinelOne. That would be the only constructive criticism that I have."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"This is an expensive solution."

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

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

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

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is fair; it's comparable to our previous solution, and we carried out multiple POCs and POVs (proof of value). The product is worth the money we pay for it."

"Lookout is definitely on the lower end when it comes to price point and that seems to be the only differentiator. The technology is in place in this space and it's really about who is coming in at the better price point now."

"After negotiations, the pricing was found to be fair."

"The pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete is competitive."

"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."

"The pricing appears to be pretty affordable."

"I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair."

"Its pricing is competitive."

"At this time it is only a trial. After the trial period, I am going to purchase two licenses from SentinelOne."

"For our use case, the solution is affordable. There are not any hidden fees."
