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

"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 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."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"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."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

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

"The initial setup is easy."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

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

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The deep visibility is really important for us. With it, we can really look deep into some of the incidents."

"Device control and network control are valuable."

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has really improved compliance and security, as there are no problems anymore."

"Stability-wise, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is very good, as it runs continuously, and if our endpoint is online, it will protect our endpoint 100 percent."

"SentinelOne gives us visibility into various high-level vulnerabilities on every gateway on the network. It helps us prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We primarily use Singularity for its EDR functions. We're happy with that."

"We have noticed a reduction in alerts since implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete."

"The interface of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is user-friendly, and we can quickly find what we need."

"I really love how simple and effective the product is. I really love the visibility it gives me into the endpoint. I really love that they open their product to the customer to enhance it with custom-made software, giving you the APIs to program it. Those are all things competitors don't have."

More SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint pros

Cons

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"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."

"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint can be improved in some areas."

"Managing the false positives creates additional management overhead. The behavioral analysis engine might misinterpret real user behavior as malware. For example, a drafter was cleaning up a Revit folder and deleting 4,000 files. That looks like ransomware. The SentinelOne agent kicked his computer off the network."

"I would suggest a lot of improvements; first, the dashboard is critical for new joiners, especially with the addition of Purple AI and EDR, which makes it complex for new SOC users."

"All they need to do to improve it is for it to grow further. The hackers don't sleep. If the hackers don't sleep, the solution continually needs to be updated. They need to keep ahead of the hackers."

"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."

"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."

"It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."

"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. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"Very costly product."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"This 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."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"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."

"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."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."

"When we were checking out different platforms, we did get a price from Microsoft, and it was unreasonable. SentinelOne was definitely reasonable and worth the money."

"SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting."

"I find the licensing cost for SentinelOne Singularity Complete fair."

"Its pricing is competitive."

"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."

"It is expensive. There is no doubt about it. If one of the functions does not work, it becomes very difficult for any CIO to justify the cost."

"My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne."
