Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.
Harold Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility but expensive and needs better support
Support: It's often overseas and often following a script, basically asking us to redo what we opened the case with. Multiple APIs: There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys. We had to use manual inputs and some API calls to get items in place. Dashboard: It is very rudimentary with very little customization. The Qualys Scripting Language (QSL) works differently in different Qualys modules, so when you get it working in one area you have to modify the syntax in others. User account management: We often have to give users more rights than needed just to give them what they need. Integration with the various Qualys Modules: You can tell the UI is different based on of the different teams that created them. QSL syntax same in all modules Responsiveness of some of the components: They time out, you get a blank screen, etc. Backend updates between the various modules: You update connectors and information takes a few minutes to show in VMDR or Global Asset View Connectors: Connectors have a throttling issue with AWS which causes them to frequently fail unless you manually run them again.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"There are many features. Its reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, and the richness of the information provided are the most valuable features."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"Qualys VMDR provides us with a quick response to threat findings through regular scheduled scanning, which improves our security operations."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"The platform's most valuable features include its robust vulnerability detection capabilities and automated remediation workflows."
"The reporting is fine."
"It gives you a lot of options, and it integrates with our ServiceNow for ticketing and all."
"Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
 

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"If anything, I would like to see the user interface modernized a bit more."
"When tested on Zero day, there were errors."
"It would be helpful to have features for better tracking, including options for adding relevant owners or supporting groups for each asset."
"The customer support is very bad."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."
"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"An annual license for a single scanner costs around $3,000."
"There is a license for the use of this solution. We pay annually instead of monthly to receive a better discount on the price."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"The license is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"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."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"The price is affordable."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
