Behavioral AI has protected critical applications and now blocks complex external attacks
I think Salt Security could improve their implementations. The one that I saw was very complex and took quite a bit of time, and if the environment is unique at all, it takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to properly ensure that it will be implemented. A lot of times there is a steep learning curve for someone that hasn't been in it to figure out the APIs and really dig deep into it, but once you get used to it, it is easy. However, that ramp-up period could be tough. I think Salt Security could use a more enterprise focus. Some of the smaller companies that I have referred them to think it is a little bit too complex for them, so if they could come up with a different version or something a little bit easier to simplify their platform, they may be able to find more customers that way.

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

"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"Salt Security gave me much better visibility into API risk, helping me identify exposed endpoints, misconfigured APIs, and sensitive data flowing through APIs that required additional controls, and it has become an important part of my API security program."
"Salt Security has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by being able to stop cyberattacks and ensure that they have proper security over all their applications, giving them a sense of peace of mind that they have security over something that could ultimately take down the whole company if not mitigated properly."
"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."
"The most valuable features are the quick action and restoration capabilities."
"We have a preference for their receptor; it's good at finding many EFC files, and normally EFC files could have a virus, but we need to exclude some of them."
"Singularity has the same features as other antivirus products, but it provides an added layer of security and vulnerability protection. It's also light on resources. Singularity doesn't use a lot of CPU or memory."
"The overall product quality is good."
"We moved from ESET, and we find that the licensing scheme, particularly how the licenses are attributed to clients, is pretty nice compared to what ESET offers."
"SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint has impacted our organization positively, mainly through cost savings compared to other endpoints."
"In terms of the engines that SentinelOne uses, it has stopped various scripts from running and it's highlighted lateral movement that we weren't expecting."
"The deep visibility and the ability to perform security investigations and assess our endpoint security posture are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"I rate Singularity Complete a seven out of ten for affordability. It's more expensive than our previous solution, but it does its job well. At the same time, there is some room for improvement. Cheaper is always better."
"All is good for now, but we cannot rest, and continuous development - in particular with regard to the areas of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence - is required to keep ahead of the cybercriminals."
"The performance could be better. Singularity lags a bit, and it's a resource-hungry application, so it takes a while to load."
"Most of the customers in Sri Lanka are currently migrating from SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint to CrowdStrike."
"It would be good to see some small tools to test files or hashes that are a potential threat, I know there are already products offering this."
"If they can extend their product further on the DLP side of it so that I don't have to have another agent run exclusively for DLP production, that would be ideal."
"I would like to see the reports from SentinelOne more customizable, as there are very few options."
"SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."
"Just buy the Capture Client and buy the installer itself in a license of 100,000, or whatever is needed. You don't need to invest in any management tools because they are already installed, and maintenance from the client will keep everything up and running."
"The solution is a bit cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro and more expensive than smaller solutions. Still, it has a pretty reasonable price point, as I appreciate the flexibility SentinelOne Singularity Complete offers."
"It is comparatively cheap in the market and provides a good price point."
"It was cheaper than McAfee, which was a way to convince management to go with the solution."
"The price is competitive, if you compare it with other solutions on the market."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Complete carries a higher price tag than some endpoint security solutions, customers find its robust features and return on investment justify the cost."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
