User-friendly solution with good blocking
I mainly use Security Premium as an antivirus.  Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface. Security Premium's cost could be lower. I've been using Security Premium for a year. Security Premium is stable - I haven't faced any issues or bugs while using…

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 antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"We tried a few: Kaspersky, Trend Micro, we used McAfee, we used Norton; we tried them all on our entire fleet of computers, and we realized that in terms of ease of use and resource consumption, Norton is something that is acceptable to us."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"If you want to protect your environment and sleep soundly at night, and if you're in the security industry, I highly encourage you to deploy SentinelOne and just watch what it's capable of."
"The single pane of glass is probably the most valuable. That is a big one. We could see everything from one view."
"Unlike other endpoint solutions like Kaspersky or Trend Micro, SentinelOne's agents are exceptionally lightweight, updating seamlessly without consuming significant network or system resources."
"Everyone should go for SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint because at the price range that they are offering their services, it is the best that we can ask for."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
"The solution gives me peace of mind when it comes to the reliability of the computers on our system."
"The product is a lighter client. Our previous solution ran heavy on the workstation and caused performance issues."
"The process visualization, automated response, and snapshotting are valuable. The integration and automation possibilities are also valuable."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"I do not find it to be scalable."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"In terms of improvement, the documentation could be better. I would also like to see SingularityOne compatibility with Huntress, and the tighter integration between them would bring more to the table."
"The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges."
"Their documentation could afford to be a little bit better communicated. A lot of times we have to look at things in the knowledge base, and much of that could be communicated better, but that would probably be the only thing that needs to be improved."
"The "false positive" detection rate could be improved, if possible, but this should not increase the risk of the endpoint being breached."
"There are things that they can do to improve the console or improve the product, and they are making strides in it."
"It would be nice if they improved the user interface."
"I believe that CAM and Clearwater are superior to Singularity Platform."
"The role-based access is in dire need of improvement. We actually discussed this on a roadmap call and were informed that it was coming, but then it was delayed. It limits the roles that you can have in the platform, and we require several custom roles. We work with a lot of third-parties whom we rely on for some of our IT services. Part of those are an external SOC function where they are over-provisioned in the solution because there isn't anything relevant for the level of work that they do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"The pricing of the solution seems reasonable, we got a discount but it still seems reasonable. The licensing cost is $3 to $4 per endpoint and can be paid monthly or yearly, with the price changing according to commitment."
"The price is costly compared to what we were previously paying with Microsoft Defender and McAfee."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."
"Spend money on the security for the endpoint."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete's pricing is affordable."
"SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting."
"Overall, it was a good experience. It is pretty easy for us to increase the number."
