Provides good features and helps monitor the status of ransomware protection in an organization
We used the solution for password strength assessments, ransomware testing, and automated penetration testing The tool helped us discover that we were using an outdated network protocol, NTLM. The password strength assessments feature was valuable. The testing features are fantastic. The tool…

Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is SaaS-based. From a cloud perspective, it has Pentera Surface and Pentera Core. The Core is the on-prem deployed solution, while the Surface is the cloud-hosted solution that scans your public infrastructure. From the Surface perspective, the most valuable feature so far has been the attack surface mapping."
"The tool showed us that our ransomware protection wasn’t working on some machines."
"The platform's most valuable features are credential management and vulnerability management."
"Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better."
"The product is easy to use."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"The most valuable feature of Pentera is that you can do continuous vulnerability assessment, which is automated."
"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
 

Cons

"The automated penetration testing features must be improved."
"There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."
"One of the big issues we have is that the tool has an additional license for compromised credentials. Suppose compromised credentials for any of your domains appear in leaks, dumps, or are being sold. In that case, they try to aggregate that data and highlight that, for example, ten users appeared in recent dumps as compromised credentials. However, they don't provide much information about where those compromises came from or their source information, probably to protect their sources."
"One area for product improvement could be the inclusion of a dashboard to cover multiple branches and subsidiaries, allowing for centralized monitoring."
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."
"The price could be improved."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not that expensive, but it could be more cost-effective."
"The product's cost is reasonable. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The tool is relatively cheap."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing cost for Pentera."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The price is affordable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
