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.

Machine learning capabilities enhance risk management for financial industry deployments
At my company, we usually use NetWitness Endpoint for our customers with a primary focus on the financial industry, where eighty to ninety percent of our deployments occur NetWitness Endpoint offers the capability of machine learning or artificial intelligence. It provides a risk score for each…

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

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"NetWitness Endpoint offers the capability of machine learning or artificial intelligence."
"We are freeing up our resources and our security analysts' time to focus on the most critical threats to our landscape by not having to chase down false positives."
"The customer support for this solution is good."
"Security operations have been improved as SentinelOne is easier to manage and update compared to most traditional anti-malware products."
"The AI solution makes it easy for customers to detect and manage policies, as well as documents that help customers manage their platform."
"I appreciate the network control as well as the device control."
"The ability to get queries by pressing the "tab" button is a plus for SentinelOne."
"The solution gives me peace of mind when it comes to the reliability of the computers on our system."
"The initial setup is very straightforward and easy."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"This is a very costly product."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"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."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"NetWitness Endpoint lacks automatic response capabilities. While it can be used for response, the process is manual, requiring the user to manually respond to alerts, which is not ideal."
"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."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but there's nothing much else to do."
"There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful."
"Maybe they can develop some firewall aspects for it to better protect us."
"Pricing is a bit of a pain point. The pricing is still on the higher side; it's almost double the price, if not more, of a normal antivirus, such as NOD32, Kaspersky, or Symantec."
"The solution can use up a lot of resources when scanning. It would be ideal if it was lighter."
"The solution’s distributed intelligence at the endpoint is pretty effective, but from time to time I see that the agent is not getting the full execution history or command-line parameters."
"All is good for now, but we cannot rest, and continuous development - in particular with regard to the areas of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence - is required to keep ahead of the cybercriminals."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"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."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
Information not available
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The price is fair for what we are getting."
"There are cheaper options out there that I know are not as effective. I have administered several of them, not for this organization but for others. The thing I like about SentinelOne is that I know that if it raises an alert, it is worth looking at, so we are not dealing with a lot of false positives. It is rare."
"Its cost is similar to Trend Micro, but the protection is much better."
"The pricing of SentinelOne is less than McAfee."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
"I can pay, for my environment, between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, and that's a pretty good deal."
"I believe that the current pricing and licensing structure is fair."
