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.

Reporting effectiveness and advanced AI capabilities improve threat awareness while needing pricing simplification and licensing self-service

With pricing, they can improve by bundling their pricing because sometimes billing comes in a very long process. If they could bundle it as one solution and show the capabilities or features, they would be able to sell it more effectively, and as resellers, we could sell it to customers more easily. The technical support is responsive, but sometimes we experience limitations regarding the ability to add licensing. They could implement a self-service platform for assigning new licenses or ordering more. Currently, we depend on contacting someone who sends a new contract to sign through the process. They could change their licensing model, though I am not the right person to comment on functionality. On the reporting side, everything is covered.

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

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features are the rollback feature, it's important for us, and the AI models are good."

"The most valuable features are the rollback feature, it's important for us. The AI models and are good."

"It provides visibility and a storyline to track the virus or malware's activities, showing infected processes and changes made."

"The most valuable feature, which I can describe as the '360 vision' of the inventory device, provides a complete view of all the devices."

"We have been using this solution for quite some time, and the AI functionality is quite advanced; we are able to provide insights on different aspects and read the reports easily."

"We can see the difference between traditional antivirus and what we can do with SentinelOne; even if the price is a little bit more, we can use EDR, stop network activity, do whatever we need on the endpoint from the security engineer side, and we can see that it's at a completely different level."

"The visibility feature is crucial for effective detection analysis."

"Whether our endpoints are running on Windows, Mac, Linux, or any flavor of operating systems, and even mobile devices, we can have a central dashboard through which we can do complete user management and policy management. We can have a complete security posture organization-wise, department-wise, or business-wise."

"The solution is both stable and scalable."

"The 365 management and analytics from the cloud is another great feature."

"When we first looked at SentinelOne, we had a very distributed legacy antivirus environment. Through SentinelOne's platform, we were able to consolidate about eight different antiviruses globally, thus saving money and time."

"Most of the features are valuable. As a system integrator, agent deployment is valuable. It also fits the requirements of most of the clients."

"I have found the activity timeline and threat analysis to be particularly useful."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I would rate the scalability as seven out of ten. The capability is useful. Concerning the license, if I add one more device without a license, it will automatically subscribe to a license. I do not appreciate that."

"Concerning the license, if I add one more device without a license, it will automatically subscribe to a license. I do not appreciate that."

"With pricing, they can improve by bundling their pricing because sometimes billing comes in a very long process."

"I would like to see them add support for both Android and iOS smartphones."

"We have a lot of false positives we see in the dashboard. I think this is the only problem we are facing."

"The agent update is not the most intuitive process, but I understand why they do it. We have a pretty vertical 64-bit environment for Windows. That is pretty much all we have, but we get alerts for things like the new Linux endpoint or things that do not apply to us. That is probably the only thing that I do not like. There may be some way to turn that off so that I do not get endpoint update alerts from platforms that are not applicable to our system, enterprise, or network."

"When SentinelOne Singularity Complete is used as the central hub for viewing alerts from all integrated security solutions, it is challenging to identify the specific solution that triggered each alert."

"I believe that SentinelOne's technical support needs to improve slightly. They are quite slow, and while I understand they might be busy, I would rate them at a seven out of ten."

"Improvement seems necessary, especially with the focus on enhanced support."

"I would appreciate seeing the browser extension react more effectively to events, going beyond mere detection."

"One of the negatives we have found is that we receive quite a lot of false positives."

"There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers competitive pricing, but there's always potential for even better value."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

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

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is average."

"When it came to the price compared to other solutions we tested, SentinelOne Singularity gave us the price of our expectations whereas CrowdStrike could not."

"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."

"The pricing was very similar in terms of its competitors, but I believe SentinelOne's capability and willingness to attract new business allowed us to save some extra money."

"Overall, it was a good experience. It is pretty easy for us to increase the number."

"We are on a subscription model by choice. Therefore, we are paying a premium for the flexibility. We would have huge cost savings if we committed to a three-year buy-in. So, it's more expensive than the other solutions that we were looking at, but we have the flexibility of a subscription model. I think the pricing is fair. For example, if we had a three-year tie-in SentinelOne versus Cylance or one of the others, there is not that much difference in pricing. There might be a few euro or dollars here and there, but it's negligible."

"The pricing is reasonable. It may be a little high, but it's on par with everything out there."

"The product's pricing is at par with what you see among major competitors. It's higher than McAfee, yet cheaper than CrowdStrike."

"SentinelOne makes licensing easy by reducing the number of modules or packages that they have to offer. A lot of other vendors make licensing very complicated with separate modules or separate costs. By bundling necessary features, SentinelOne ensures that security leaders are not left confused by options. This bundling of necessities has served our needs well."
