We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps and SentinelOne Singularity Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the web GUI/the management interface. I also like the security of Microsoft. As compared to other manufacturers, it's less complex and easy to understand and work with."
"The ability to prevent users from using certain applications is one of the most valuable features. It doesn't require any configuration for implementation from the client perspective. It just works right away and gives you the information you need."
"The product helps us with privileged identity management to control who has access to what and for how long."
"Defender's integration with our identity solutions is critical in our current setup."
"There are a lot of features with benefits, including discovery, investigation, and putting controls around things. You can't say that you like the investigation part but not the discovery. Everything is correlated; that's how the tool works."
"Defender helps us control which applications are being used and gain more security insight into remote and hybrid users based on user identity and log in location. You can also integrate Defender for Cloud Apps with Defender for Endpoint to extend its capabilities."
"All of the features are valuable because all of the features are related."
"The most valuable feature is the alerting system."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity is very lightweight as an agent or software."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps' initial setup was quite technical but we were prepared. The time of the implementation depends on the job and how many users are being set up."
"It doesn't actually decrease the time to respond. This has been an issue with Microsoft recently. Sometimes, there is a delay when it comes to getting an alert policy email... Sometimes it takes two or three hours for that email to be sent."
"There could be more granular roles that are out of the box included in the product."
"Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps’s technical support services needs improvement."
"The response time could be better. It will be helpful if the alerts are even more proactive and we can see more data. Currently, the data is a little bit weak. It is not complete. I can't just see it and completely know which user or which device it is. It takes some effort and time on my part to investigate and isolate a user. It would be great if it is more user-friendly or easy for people to understand."
"I want them to enhance in-session policy."
"They need to improve the attack surface reduction (ASR) rules. In the latest version, you can implement ASR rules, which are quite useful, but you have to enable those because if they're not enabled, they flag false positives. In the Defender portal, it logs a block for WMI processes and PowerShell. Apparently, it's because ASR rules are not configured. So, you generally have to enable them to exclude, for example, WMI queries or PowerShell because they have a habit of blocking your security scanners. It's a bit weird that they have to be enabled to be configured, and it's not the other way around."
"I would prefer to have filtering options incorporated within the policies, enabling the solution to perform tasks beyond mere blocking or allowing."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
