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

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"This product really is the best solution for this security issue."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"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."
"I've seen a lot of improvements and simplifications, and Google SecOps has recently moved into Gartner's as the highest one for visionaries."
"Singularity Complete has helped me free up time for my staff, allowing them to focus on other projects or tasks; it has saved a lot of time, because normally, when you do checks in a standard console for another solution, SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint reduces review time by about 50–60% of the tasks, since it's such a robust tool and at the same time has such an easy-to-understand interface."
"I have been a Mac guy for twenty years, and the feature parity and the capabilities of a Macintosh agent are unparalleled in the industry. It is the first anti-malware and antivirus that does not make you feel that you bought the wrong processor. It is really good and lightweight."
"I believe Singularity Platform is perfectly fine overall."
"The XDR capability is quite good."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has behavior-based AI that detects alerts that are not predefined without relying on predefined rules, detecting zero-day attacks or any behavioral changes in the baseline of the user or any suspicious anomalies through AI-based threat detection only."
"My advice for others looking into purchasing SentinelOne Singularity Complete is that I would definitely recommend it."
 

Cons

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"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."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints."
"When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools."
"SentinelOne's phishing feature could be improved."
"Prior to the purchase and recent changes, experiences with SentinelOne's support and product were not positive."
"Sometimes I get a response from them, but at times they may not have answers and defer to the engineering team, which can prolong the resolution time beyond expectations for customer satisfaction."
"We have had cases where Singularity Complete has caused applications to malfunction."
"I would like to improve the reports because they are not so customizable and we would like more info from them."
"The main area for improvement relates to Linux compatibility. When deploying on a Linux system, the process isn't as seamless compared to other operating systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"Very costly product."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"This is an expensive solution."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"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
"Spend money on the security for the endpoint."
"From what I understand, it is pricey, but it works. It is a very good product."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive, but we must be willing to pay for it if we want a high level of protection."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is expensive compared to Microsoft but not Sophos."
"The tool's price is reasonable."
"SentinelOne was half the price of CrowdStrike."
"Its price can be lower because I'm seeing competition from another vendor who beats it on commercials."
