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.

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 multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has accelerated the response time for my security team, so we have been able to resolve issues faster than usual."

"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."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has given us better endpoint visibility and richer investigation context, allowing us to identify suspicious activity, understand the attack path, and contain potential threats much faster than before."

"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."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The autonomous platform is valuable because we can separate false positives and negatives."

"I find the product very easy to maintain and troubleshoot. Their engineers are very helpful if you need additional assistance. It's one of the best products I've used. It's easy to use from my standpoint, both for troubleshooting and with the support we get from their team if necessary."

"The customer support for this solution is good."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint helps reduce alerts by approximately 40%, as it streamlines the analysis process for alerts we receive, and it helps free up about 70 to 80% of our time when managing alerts."

"Overall, it's effectiveness is 100 percent because we don't see many outbreaks anymore."

"We collect a lot of telemetry from Singularity Complete."

"The external drive scanning is great."

"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."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"There's an overall lack of features."

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

"This is a very costly product."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"If it had a little bit more granularity in the roles and responsibilities matrix, that would help. There are users that have different components, but I'd be much happier if I could cherry-pick what functions I want to give to which users. That would be a huge benefit."

"It would be nice to be able to adjust the canned reports manually and choose the specific data we want to report on instead of being limited to their pre-set reports."

"SentinelOne is causing a problem with the data service that causes one of our applications to crash randomly. We're still looking for a permanent fix, but we have implemented a temporary workaround that excludes that application from the scan."

"The adware and pop-up blockers have room for improvement."

"We are now using an external monitoring tool to monitor the services of SentinelOne, because apparently they don't have any solution for that."

"I would like to see some improvements in SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint; there are features that are currently missing that I would like to see included or enhanced in the future."

"Regarding the pricing, Singularity Platform is very high compared to other platforms that have been worked with, such as CrowdStrike and other Sophos EDRs."

"I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

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

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The larger count you have, the deeper discount you will receive in your contract."

"It's around $8 per client per month."

"The licensing is convenient, straightforward, and very clear."

"Its cost is yearly. It is not much costlier than other leading products available in the market. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"The licensing is comparable to other solutions in the market. The pricing is competitive."

"We have not been beaten in the market by pricing, so we have been feeling good about that. The discussions we have had over the years keep us at a very low price per unit. It can always get better, but we also know there is a cost to the backend."

"The pricing of SentinelOne is less than McAfee."
