Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Head Of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Discount Bank
Brand threats have been monitored proactively and intelligence now drives daily security decisions
I am an end user of Mandiant Advantage. Mandiant Advantage's intelligence is good, and their service is good, but the price they charge is just too high. It's not that they're not supplying what they're selling; it's simply that the price is high, and putting a tag on that cost is somewhat problematic. I would rate Mandiant Advantage an 8 out of 10. I do not consider Mandiant Advantage an affordable solution at all. The prices are very high and very expensive. The price of Mandiant Advantage is not justified. It's really expensive, and it's so expensive that I'm not sure I will continue next year with their service.

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

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"It is easy to use."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The scalability of Mandiant Advantage deserves a ten out of ten."
"The live IOC feed identifies the type, technique, and tactics used."
"Mandiant Advantage has helped me enhance operational efficiency overall because it enriched our SIEM, which is Splunk, and the YARA rules I wrote within the platform help me understand better what my threat landscape is."
"Mandiant Advantage is excellent at providing the full context and all the information, where the information was found, and the full data, including the raw data that was uploaded onto the Internet."
"The advantage of the solution is being able to go look up threat actors and get a lot of detailed information about different attacks and different tactics and general information about threats."
"The feature I have found most valuable is directory monitoring. We experienced an instance of threat actors trying to ensure a complex and massive attack against our customer's infrastructure on the forum. That is, they were animating people on a formum. The solution alerted us to this two days ahead of the attack, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for it."
"I have never faced stability issues."
"It is so valuable to have someone performing these functions outside of our business hours when we don't have staff in the building. We've seen a lot of solid metrics on the amount of malware that it's detecting and resolving. We're pleased with it so far."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has behavior-based AI that detects alerts that are not predefined without relying on predefined rules, detecting zero-day attacks or any behavioral changes in the baseline of the user or any suspicious anomalies through AI-based threat detection only."
"Since we implemented the solution, we haven't seen any big cyberattacks get through, which has happened before."
"We chose SentinelOne because of the protection it offers against ransomware, providing good security that gives peace of mind."
"The visibility feature is crucial for effective detection analysis."
"The terminating or killing remediation process that they use is top-notch. Pretty much anything that is even remotely malicious gets blocked by it within seconds. That is important for us. We have thousands of endpoints with tens of thousands of users. It is hard to do good security for that many people without some kind of automated detection and response. That is what SentinelOne does for us. It helps us automate that process."
"Of all the products on the market today, I can say that they are the ones that I trust the absolute most to protect my clients."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has positively impacted my organization by helping with trust amongst the organization, and with USB exclusions and other features, it has helped with data loss prevention and allowed me to measure DLP attacks."
"Overall, the time saved, lower incident impact, and improved security confidence clearly justified the investment."
 

Cons

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"They could have better support. Now that they've merged, they are moving towards a portal system, which isn't very helpful."
"I have already given them feedback that their UI needs improvement since sometimes there is a lag. The side-by-side depiction of request response and action clogs the screen."
"The product is expensive."
"Sometimes Mandiant Advantage becomes noisy when dealing with widely recognized companies due to false positives."
"Mandiant Advantage's platform itself is not good yet. They have many bugs because they changed the platform, so from time to time it's simply not working at all."
"Mandiant's on-prem client is too processor-intensive, so it's putting a strain on the local device's CPU. When a scan is running on the device, the other processing tasks slow to a crawl. We're still trying to figure out the correct settings for the client."
"I think that the data query that is used for data cloud language should be improved. It's really hard to query actual data from the platform."
"Collaboration of data in my view becomes a bit clogged, requiring effort to understand visually."
"The only thing that would help complete the solution is the ability to execute and perform patching from the system since it is able to discover vulnerabilities and CVEs on the system."
"SentinelOne should include Ranger Pro out of the box with Singularity Complete."
"SentinelOne makes it more difficult to define users. It is more granular than CrowdStrike, but it is not preferred because you have to check hundreds of roles."
"SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."
"There aren't enough reporting capabilities for decision-makers."
"Some features could be more user-friendly; for instance, setting restrictions in the explorer for what level one must be to use it is not user-friendly and it is difficult to find what we're searching for."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Complete effectively visualizes security data across our solutions, requiring extensive manual effort for analysis limits its effectiveness. I would therefore rate it a seven out of ten."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"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."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
Information not available
"It's around $8 per client per month."
"The cost of endpoint protection is fairly reasonable."
"The solution's price/performance ratio is reasonable."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is cheaper than CrowdStrike but more expensive than any traditional anti-virus solution."
"I don't deal with the cost side of things, but the licensing, as far as endpoints go, is a pretty straightforward and simple process."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."
