ABHISHEK_SINGH - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.
Vaibhav Mahendra Kolhe - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"This product really is the best solution for this security issue."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
"However, this solution is very good at detecting abnormal behavior, they act very fast and quarantine machines well, and we find that having an endpoint protection solution allows us to adapt and react faster."
"It is priced by endpoint device, making it one of the well-priced solutions, as it is not too expensive and is a very good enterprise solution."
"The protection SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides to our endpoint devices in terms of cybersecurity is valuable."
"Singularity Platform's best features are its scheduled reports and its automated end-of-day business capabilities, which allow any activities that occur projected or expected to come in overnight without manual intervention."
"The most valuable aspect of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is the protection it provides."
"It is very effective so far, it has saved us from a couple of ransomware attacks already, and the responsibility is taken off of us and onto them completely with complete and total protection."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint helps reduce the number of alerts, generates precise alerts with very few false positives if any, and has actually reduced the load on our SOC analysts so much that I support approximately 18,000 to 20,000 endpoints with only two EDR engineers."
"It is easy to collect and retain logs with SentinelOne."
 

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"I think Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could be improved by having tiered pricing by device, especially since we have not covered mobile devices because the cost is very high."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"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 solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
"Their CASB tool needs to mature. I think there are some CASB vendors out there that have a dashboard tool that's much more mature than SentinelOne. That would be the only constructive criticism that I have."
"I would like to see something a little more sophisticated than simply being able to mark a false positive as safe or there's usually just one or two options in certain areas and they're a little rudimentary at this stage."
"SentinelOne could improve by reducing the price."
"In the SIEM solution, I would like to see improvements in the data injection process, as it is very fast, and the log collector option is very nice. However, there are issues in blocking the hash, which is complicated due to different segregation for Windows, Linux, and macOS, so I ask for an improvement in this hash blocking function and the manual generation of how many VSS snapshots."
"We are not utilizing all the features available with SentinelOne Singularity Complete, including the built-in XDR and Ranger, due to the substantial associated costs."
"I would like to see improvements in the hashes function, particularly in the hashes tab, as multiple hashes are difficult to add in the correct format in SentinelOne Singularity Complete for Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers competitive pricing, but there's always potential for even better value."
"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"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."
Information not available
"I rate Singularity Complete a seven out of ten for affordability. It's more expensive than our previous solution, but it does its job well. At the same time, there is some room for improvement. Cheaper is always better."
"It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most."
"The pricing is on the higher end, making it less suitable for small or medium-sized businesses and perhaps not the ideal fit for the public sector where budget constraints may be more pronounced."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."
"The pricing model is simple."
"The pricing is comparable with other vendors but some customers find it a bit costly."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
