Featured Reviews

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.
Mani Bommisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive insights with robust vulnerability detection and streamlined alert management
Rapid7 has a significant advantage in providing a clear picture of my environment. It provides insight and incident detection response capabilities. When deployed with the same agent in servers or endpoints, it identifies vulnerabilities and monitors data transmission to external sources. Rapid7 offers comprehensive features within one platform, eliminating the need to integrate multiple tools to see all alerts in one place.
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

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"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."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"All of the features are great."
"Rapid7 has a significant advantage in providing a clear picture of my environment."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
 

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."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay monthly. The pricing is reasonable."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is an open-source solution."
"It is expensive. Our license expired, and our company is not thinking to renew because of our budget."
"There are two versions available, one of which is the Pro version, and the other is the free version."
"The pricing structure involves a one-time purchase cost of approximately twenty thousand dollars or euros for all customers."
"I use the open-source version of this product. Pricing is not relevant."
"The great advantage with Rapid7 Metasploit, of course, is that it's free."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's pricing a six. So it's fairly priced."
"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."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
"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."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"The pricing is a bit high."
