We performed a comparison between Malwarebytes and SentinelOne based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: SentinelOne, which is generally considered one of the leaders in endpoint security, comes out on top in this comparison. Users say it is a robust next-generation tool that uses intuitive AI and machine learning. SentinelOne is equally effective with most every OS in the marketplace today and can support legacy and new environments too. Users say Malwarebytes lacks basic automation and AI processes, which are commonplace in most endpoint security solutions today. Many processes rely on manual follow-up, which makes the tool cumbersome and slow.
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"The most valuable feature is the rollback functionality, which is highly impactful. We can roll back deleted or compromised files. The Ranger feature is also interesting. It enables the solution to visualize the logs and assets that are not yet covered by the platform. Ranger also enables deployments and revisions. It doesn't always work, but it's effective 90 percent of the time."
"The strength of SentinelOne is that it has an automated, active EDR. It does that first level of what a SOC analyst would do, automatically, using artificial intelligence, so we can focus on other things. Active EDR not only notifies you, but it actually fixes that first level. That is unheard of. Very few, if any, companies do that."
"It has a one-click button that we can use to reverse all those dodgy changes made by the virus program and bring the system quickly back to what it was. That's one of the most important features."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
"We opted for SentinelOne because it gives you visibility and control over all the devices on which you have the agent deployed. That is very valuable because, in the end, all the attacks enter only through one gateway, which is usually a user's computer."
"The most valuable features include the agent installation and update processes."
"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."
"It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The support needs improvement."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."
"It is not so much on the Singularity platform itself, but they have their own built-in SIEM that is included with it. That needs to evolve a little bit. It is relatively basic in its capabilities. They have potential there for a great product and a needed product too. Having some kind of SIEM capability with the endpoint solution will save me from buying a bigger SIEM or buying another one. I could just use the one that comes with my endpoint solution."
"We'd like SentinelOne to upgrade automatically. It doesn't automatically update the agent if some system has an older version of the SentinelOne. It has to be triggered from the console."
"They can improve the administrative interface. They can make it more user-friendly."
"I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."
"All they need to do to improve it is for it to grow further. The hackers don't sleep. If the hackers don't sleep, the solution continually needs to be updated. They need to keep ahead of the hackers."
"The reporting needs improvement and I would like to see a more granular level of administrative privileges."
"I would like SentinelOne to add a threat-hunting report and more UEBA features. They could add more SIEM functionality. It would be nice to have the ability to easily drag all the logs from the agents, so there's no need for multiple agents installed on the endpoint."
